October 3, 2011Good Value But …,
This GPS system is fairly cheap and does most of the things you would want a GPS unit to do – get you from point A to point B. Basically, that’s all I really wanted when I bought this unit and I am happy to say that it has been pretty successful in doing that. I had a little trouble at the start because it wouldn’t lock-in my route and always had “Proceed to Route” on the screen even though I was already on the road and moving to my destination.
Having said that, this machine has a few annoying issues. First, it sometimes just restarts automatically and could leave you hanging if you have to turn or something. Second, it gets lost when you are surrounded by tall buildings. Hence, you have to be sure that you know the turn-by-turn directions prior to entering business districts, etc. Finally, it’s “shortest time” route may not be the optimal route every time. I went on a trip to Milwaukee to Chicago and the GPS took me through rural Northwestern Illinois, which increased the travel time home from 2 hours to 3 hours. I don’t know what happened there, but be sure to check the route before you embark on a long trip (I learned this lesosn the hard way).
For city driving, I think this unit is fine. It has gotten me to most places without any real issues. It’s also cheap, which is good for reluctant first-time buyers. After you get a GPS unit though, you will surely ask yourself why you didn’t get one any sooner.
