Summary: Good product but needs a few more improvements
Comment: Let's set the price aside for a minute and judge the product on its own. It has a large screen and is absolutely loaded with excellent features such as text to speech, blue tooth phone connection and voice command, FM transmitter, MP3 and video player, traffic report. On their own, these are great features.
On the weak side, here are the problems: when you turn it on it may take 4 minutes to get a GPS signal. When you try to zoom using the + and - on the zoom bar sometimes it mistakes them for "drag" and changes the location instead of zooming, which is very annoying. Every part of the face of the product is touch sensitive either because of the buttons or the screen. So you can't hold the product in a way that your finger tips would touch the front part or you may inadvertantly select an unwanted menu item.
My two biggest problems with this thing were the fact that no matter how hard I tried I could not make it skip toll roads from its propopsed route. It completely ignored the instruction to exclude toll roads even though there were easy toll-free alternatives available which I could see on the map (and did in fact take). The problem with the toll roads is not all of them have a toll plaza or exact change. You end up on one of those without the change or a transponder you may incur a large penalty. Yikes. My second problem was the fact that when announcing the precise turns it's about 2 seconds too late. You'd have to be driving very slowly not to miss a turn when it announces it which is not a practical thing when driving on the freeway. For the most part I learned to live with this as I relied on the earlier announcements such as "turn right in 1/2 mile" instead of the precise moment of turn. But on a number of occasions when driving in Miami which has many roads intersecting at the same spot we missed the correct turn because it wasn't obvious which one of the 3 "rights" to take.
Despite those flaws, I'm going to keep this product because overall it has enough nice features. I'll need a second one in a while so I'll make sure that one would have all these features and none of the flaws.
Customer Rating: Summary: Feature packed.
Comment: I've looked at many GPS's at this price and more, but didn't find anything this feature packed at this price. Have only used it a few times so far, but liked the night screen setting, live ETA calculation (to help you arrive on time), next turn listed at the top of the screen, accuracy (for roads and turns), and is less annoying about having to recalculate the route when you venture off on newer roads. So what if it's not qwerty (I'm not texting) or two hour battery (most of the time you use it plugged in to your car) or you have to look up additional POI's on the internet first and input them as a destination (it has the rest areas and hotels and important stuff). So far, I have no complaints. (Well, there was an insert that explained that the U.S. lags behind the E.U. with the FM traffic system. What else is new. It will eventually come. We invested in that 'Smart Highway System' in Orlando.) Reviews on other sites said there are maps of Europe, Asia, South America, etc. on the CD(that I haven't verified yet). All in all, it pretty much does all that I need it to do, and then some; especially for the price!
Customer Rating: Summary: great buy
Comment: Used only a few time but worked flawlessly. Could be a little more user friendly
Customer Rating: Summary: Good quality little hard to navigate
Comment: Great product if your going to spend $100-150. Would be worth a lot more if the person who designed the nokia phones software designed this things software. If you like to fiddle with things then you won't mind this gps unit but if you are one of those people who need to hold somebody's hand when ever something new is in front of you then get something else. I would buy another one if I could get device and added features.
Customer Rating: Summary: Good to Excellent GPS
Comment: The title says it all...
If you are looking for a good GPS this is your product. If you are looking for features that is not included in the specs well look for a different one. This product from nokia is decent for everyday use, and the price is right of course.
