Review: This product is a heap of scrap metal and plastic! It is about as usefull in navigation as a piece of loadstone tied from a string! Painfully slow to aquire a first fix, especially irratating when setting of on a jurney and you need to sit around for ages waiting for the thing to get enough satelites, it frequently loses the traffic channel, frequently locks up and requires a power on/off to reset and fails to alert you of traffic problems even when they are on the map. It has been back three times now for varios repairs (latest is that the screen is dead). This list is not exhaustive but hopefully enough to persuade anyone reading this review that to think long and haed about buying this product.
Pros: The return address for a refund.
Cons: slow to navigate

does not aquire satelites at all when moving

frequently locks up in normal use

poor build quality leads to frequent problems (connectors, screen)

Useless battery life - less than 20 min in practice
