Bad Software

I would not purchase this item. Not well thought out. Felt like a beta version of something. Software is glitchy has very limited places pre-programmed. Most of all it is inaccurate; it will lead you down a parallel street.

I bought a gps from this company over a year ago and it worked fine for about a year just until it got out of warranty. And then for no apparent reason I turned it on one day and the screen went to a lock and key with some Asian writing and it would...

It's no Garmin or TomTom, but it's probably better than a map... Usually

This unit does not compare to even a low-end Garmin or TomTom. But, if you can get this GPS for around $40, consider it. It's not bad for that price. I would not be willing to pay more though, and here's why:

Outstanding value!

I picked this up for $55 as an open box item at a local Microcenter store. Inside the box is the device, car mount kit, car charger, adhesive, 2GB SD card, manuals, and the GPS unit itself.

Good GPS/PDA for the money

I bought this unit for $60 and for this price I am not complaining. The routing is very accurate and the email support is very speedy and good. I follow Z.GUO's lead and turn it into a GPS/PDA.
