 Easy to set up and use January 14, 2007
This GPS product is easy to set up, simple to use, with an easy to read screen. And I like the weighted base very much. I can move it out of the way when I don't need to see the screen and it stays where I put it. I use the cassette method to have the sound come out of my car speakers since the speaker on the car adaptor is not good for music. I am very pleased with this product.
 An annoying piece January 13, 2007

I cannot agree more with Ivan Osipkov's review. Here are his review plus my comments:
A few things that may not be immediately noticeable until one actually buys the device:
1) the device does not have internal battery, i.e. it needs to be continuously plugged in;
This is very annoying. After you programmed your route, you started engine and your program got lost due to lost of power. Basically you have to reprogram it AFTER you started engine!
The power plug on the device kind of easily fall off. This will make it lost power accidently.
2) the voice comes not from the device but from a little speaker located on the electrical plug, i.e. the sound comes from where your cigarette lighter is;
The voice quality is aweful since it's a small speaker on the cord, and the volumn is not loud enough.
3) the device is heavy;
After owned it for a while and tested driving, I returned it. I finally purchased Nuvi 350. Far superior! I'm a picky customer, but I'm 85% satisfied with Nuvi 350. For 2730 I would say 40%.

Good combination of thurough map coverage and XM radio to boot. Audible of street names is handy and humorous at times given local pronunciations! The first trip with the unit, it took us to the corporate offices for the amusement park we were to visit - the park is not in the database (we ran into a Garmin employee on that trip who submitted a database input/change and prompted me on how to do it in the future).
Every vehicle should get a GPS. I imagine they will in the future.
