Accurate navigation, TTS, very responsive and stable OS.

Could use some better display features, like the ability to select larger labels for street names, and current trip information. Phone and multimedia features are not very useable.

1 Decent map data and navigation software

Overall, for my first GPS device, I really enjoy all the features... GPS, Connection with Phone & Phonebook, MP3 & MP4 (Movie playback).

Bad sync with PDA phone's, ? add contacts thru PC, Small SD card provided, MP3 interface =cheezy, FM transmit = static, movies =choppy, issues w/ city line & missing addresses, can't update POIs, no "Take me home" button, 1hr battery life, traffic?

I like nothing.

It does not recognize a major state road in my town. When typing the name of the street, some of the letters darken, only letting you press on one of the lighted letters. System is not user-friendly.

THE GPS IS REALLY INTELLEGENT! I LOVE THE HUGE SCREEN COMPARED TO OTHER COMPANIES THAT ONLY BUILD A CAMERA VIEW! IT'S SUPER FAST I MEAN IT'S REAL FAST WHEN IT WANTS TO CALCULATE A ROUTE. I GURANTEE YOU THAT THIS IS THE BEST GPS OUT THERE TRY IT!

WHEN I FIRST OPEND IT I THOUGHT THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE 3D MAPS OR IT DOESN'T READ THE STREET NAMES. BUT I WAS WRONG IT DOES AND IT DOES IT DAMN WELL. YOU JUST NEED TO SET IT UP. IF YOUR NOT A ELECTRONIC PERSON U CAN GET LOST FOR ME IT WAS A BREEZE.
