V7/MyGuide Navigator 1000 Review

">V7/MyGuide 1000 is a value priced GPS that has a good feature set and for those who have seen the Mio C310x the interface will look familiar. The V7/MyGuide 1000 is loaded up with the iGo interface that is also the underlying engine on the Mio...

Good deal for the money

The pro's and the price outweigh the cons by a long shot would deffinitely recommend this to a freind wanting a cheap reliable gps. I use it everyday for my job in small towns and small cities(500,000) and it gets me to my job sites every time!!

Very nice unit for the money, calculates route quickly, and gets you where you want to go. Picks up satellites quickly and stays locked on. Small so it fits in my jacket pocket, video is decent. Sent it in for an update, they had it back to me in a...

Doesn't always recognize the memory card, sometimes I have to eject it and put back in which is a minor inconvenience, 1g memory card is not big enough for all of the new maps, and even the new maps don't always have new developments. some times takes...

GREAT

There are a lot of resources for this handy gadget if you look hard enough. I would also like to mention: iGO/Myguide along with any TomTom product base their maps on the Teleatlas 2007.1 release (if updated). If you are looking for complete accuracy I...

Just about everything for the price. I bought this with high hopes of moddification; it hasn't let me down

text-to-speech isn't supported but, look at the price! :)

Not bad

Bang for the buck! Easy to learn how to use, navigate well. Great 3D view, etc. Gets me from point A to B quite easy

It doesn't have a very good knowledge of U-Turns... and newer roads. You kind of have to keep an eye on it to catch yourself from driving a little extra

BEST value

I'll give this a further work out on a long trip and see if I can confuse it with off routes, etc.

I bought 3 of these as gifts for my kids. At the killer deal Newegg special price of $150 I figured I couldn't lose. The first thing I did was to send them off to V7 for map and software updates. The free updates (unfortunately it just expired...now...

None so far

Updated thoughts

V7 has announced new maps and software updates for the Navigation 1000. These are free updates if you have purchased the device between certain dates. I understand that these updates will address all of the CONs I have mentioned. They will replace the...

I have now used this device to conduct 2 cross country trips, each time taking different routes. I have also used it to learn my way around the new city to which I have moved. The trip rerouting is fast and accurate. By deslecting "Highways" as an...

The POI database is a little old now. The maps are dated from 2005 so both my old neighborhood and my new neighborhood are not listed on the map. Some POIs are more difficult to find than they should be. Searching the whole database or manually...
