3 of 5 Very nice but lacks updates Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Charles from KY
I was hemming and hawing between the Becker and Nuvi. The free traffic updates are great. I've had this for more than 6 months now and the traffic feature has gotten me out of a bind many times. However what tipped the tables in favor of the Becker was that I was told a map and POI update would be available in the Fall of 2008. Here we are in March and still no update. The standard configuration has very few POI's.
The maps are great and I find it truly finds the optimal route.
My wife has a Nuvi and while this is not cumbersome, the Nuvi is more use-friendly. The graphics on the Becker, however, are cleaner, and the voice is louder and crisper on the Becker.
I started out satisfied, but the lack of the POI and map update has really disappointed me. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 All about the traffic Thursday, June 12, 2008
Lee from Los angeles, ca
Becker GPS is made by Harman Kardon and is a huge GPS brand in Europe. They're breaking into the US with a couple really nice units. This is definitely a high-end unit comparable to the Garmins and TomToms of the world. The real-time traffic is awesome, especially in Los Angeles. Made me realize how useless a GPS was in this city without traffic as a routing criteria. Imagine being stuck on the freeway and not knowing how far you need to drive on local streets before getting back on the freeway? Plus, the traffic info's free! The mood lighting is cool, too. Adds a little customization to match my car. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Best GPS I've used! Thursday, June 12, 2008
Marcus from Denver, CO
I needed to buy a new GPS unit for my wife and decided to try the Becker. I have had several GPS units and this one is by far my favorite. The screen is bright, easy to read, and the real time traffic updates are great. The unit was easy to install and I think the pre-loaded maps are much better than others I have used in the past.
