Nice GPS

 

I'm sure there are better GPS's out there but this one does the job. Gets us from point A to point B without a problem. I like it's small size.. you can carry it in your pocket or purse if you needed to. It's very intuitive. If I ever need a phone...

Good choice

 

Got this for my Dad, and it is really nice. Good price and came on time. Works well. Only thing didn't come with that would have been useful is a users manual.

good GPS, right price

 

This is very simple gps with basic functions. I have not updated it since last year when I bought it. So, it is not able to recognize new roads, new bridges an so on. In overall, it meets my needs.

Nice little GPS

 

This GPS has all basic GPS needs. Tiny and easy to carry. Quickly recalculates routes. No Spoken street name though. Very good for the price.
