but erm the price
Not much really, but erm the price
Too expensive by half
FM transmission weak, Bluetooth occasionally causes complete silence, Text-to-speech not preloaded, Too expensive by half
It has been weeks since it has been available for purchase in the US and still no manual that you can download

Great feature set for the price
Maps are reasonably priced and accurate
Best offereing in terms of feature set
one great thing is it offers routes that I would never have thought of myself usually saving a heap of time and money
Best price found at dell.com for $350

pricey
Too expensive
total waste of money
Because of this I am considering returning this for a lesser model since it was a waste of money to pay for features that don't work very well
Too expensive - you pay for a lot of features that are marginal in functionality
The only problem with this satnav is the price
