Quick review

The good
Strong receiver for good signal, clear display page, information from the Michelin guide book
The bad
Poor mapping, poor instruction sets, poor Points of Interest listing
Verdict
Aside from the price, the biggest complaint here is the mapping and the unit's inability to find any address you are likely to be looking for

  • I can tell you from experience that the machine in Texas, USA, especially the city of Houston is miserable. It wanted to send me down a non-existent street that would have dead-ended me in the middle of the airport.
    Another time, I was 500 ft from the destination when I turned it on and it wanted to take me for a long ride. So, just to test it, I went for the ride. It took me miles away and then dead-ended me on a cul-de-sac.
