 Love it! October 15, 2008
Easy to use, calculates time of arrival, area items of interest (gas, restaurants, hotels). Can't beat it for the price.
 Useful, but not entirely reliable in Europe October 15, 2008
I bought this GPS as a portable device to take on vacation to the UK. I bought the plug-in card with the Europe maps. Most of the time it worked fine and it was useful to have. However several times during the trip I would turn on the unit and it would not be able to locate any satellites. It was often slow locating satellites but sometimes it wouldn't find them at all - and this was outdoors without any visible obstructions. So I am very glad we took maps with us too.
The second issue is that the unit is marketed as a portable unit with auto, pedestrian and cycling set-up options. However, we were on foot much of the time and I could not see any value at all in the pedestrian setting. As far as I could tell, it just guides you to walk down the roads as if you were driving.

Great unit. Has pertinent options and features for those going down a strange road. "Points of interest" are fantastic. For those of us who don't have nerd brains, there was no instruction manual (other than start up) so I had to learn on the fly, w/ a lot of back buttons & redos. The only major issue I have is that the unit takes one down the shortest route without discrmination, including dirt two tracks. One has to use common sense, when told to "turn here", if this turn is OK. If you don't follow directions, it "recalculates" very quickly.
Great gift for the business man October 13, 2008
I bought this for my husband, who owns a carpet cleaning business. He was forever getting lost trying to find homes of customers. Well no more!! This GPS is great. It gives precise directions and even recalulates if necessary. Tells you what driveway to pull into. Names streets and all. We love it. Don't know how we did without one.
Super easy to use! October 13, 2008
