5 of 5 Excellent standard GPS Tuesday, November 27, 2007
A Customer from Tonawanda NY
This is a very good no frills GPS. No traffic or other fancy stuff, and that is fine if you don't want to pay for that.
Pros: Easy to set up. Holds a charge reasonably long time. Easy to enter addresses and store them. Straight forward menu system.
Cons: touch screen seems sensitive once in a while, which causes double clicks. Sound quality of speaker gets raspy when the volume is high. Would have been nice if this came with a stylus to use on the screen.
I've already recommended this model to someone else and they bought one. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Great unit for travelers and others Saturday, November 18, 2006
Glenn Ryzuk from Westhampton, New York
This unit comes with everything you need, windshield-Dashboard mounting bracket/Car ac adapter/CD software/USB Cable
Very compact and light. Directions commands are very clear and intuitive. Starts telling you when your turn is approaching at 2 miles then .5 miles, then .1 miles then a "ding" for the actual turn. I have used the on screen POI quite a lot in various cities, very helpful to find gas and restaurants.
I travel quite a lot for work. This unit is very compact and light even though the screen size is still 3.5 inches. Quite bright at day or night, based on HERTZ Neverlost System, same voice and commands.
I'm still trying to figure out the best use of the route selection... Shortest time or distance/least or most use of freeways (The reason for my 4's above).
This unit has a built in Battery so you can program it in your home (which I do before I leave for trips) or hotel room (if looking for local restaurants) before getting in your car (saves precious time when getting in a rental at the airport).
I got my daughter the Magellan 760, its definitely not a traveling unit, bigger and heavier, but has more functions.
Canada Maps/ Street speech technology - I don't need that.
Hope this helps.... Was this review helpful?
