 Great Unit July 15, 2008
Very good. I took it to New York with no problem. Garmin was looking for signal for three hours. I highly recommend it to any one. Great unit.
 difficult to use, buttons on screen too small, slow, weak POIs July 5, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this little navi unit as a world-traveler device that I could use in the U.S. and in europe. It ended up on ebay a week later.
Once I received it, I found it to be difficult to use, the buttons on the screen too small for my fingers, calculations were slow, the Points of interest database was missing common things I found routinely with my old Garmin c550.
We decided to keep using our old c550 and wait for a better tomtom or Garmin instead. I think the competitor for this unit as far as features go is the Garmin 7xx series, yet the performance is so bad I cannot recommend it to anyone.
Navigon Down The Road July 5, 2008

I find it most usefull when I can go as far as I can on my own, then I kick on the Navigon. The reason is It doesn't seem to take me the best route, especially when I know where I'm going. Only after I reach a point where I need help do I turn it on and it does get me where I want to go.

This is my 3rd GPS, and by far the worst. Just to list a few of its problems: Slow accessing satellites and navigating, voice is hard to understand, controls are not user friendly, hard to use volume control, poor software running it, and, well you get the point. Make sure you can return it if you decide to purchase this item.
Love it June 14, 2008

I purchased this GPS because of various web recommendations and price. I am delighted with it! I haven't gotten lost once. The unit is easy to set-up and use. The maps seem accurate and have plenty of useful information as restaurants, gas stations, etc. The spoken directions are easy to understand and follow. I particularly like the the Lane Assistant and Reality View functions with their visual representations of the road signs.
Highly recommended, if you are looking for a reasonably priced GPS only type navigation device.
