He spent the weekend reviewing several GPS devices to replace my less than 1 year old Mio C320 (avoid these like the plague), which had its battery died about 4 months after purchase. I went back and forth along the entire line of Garmin devices, and finally settled on this case for blue tooth and traffic, none of which probably rarely used, but it is good to have when you want.
I was disappointed with the map, the "new" 2009 because I have some streets in my neighborhood that has existed for over four years and are not in this unit. Even cheap piece of junk million had these streets.
But this is the only drawback to do, the only reason I did not give it five stars.
Have been used to mine, and horrible refresh rate is a good change to see the move as smooth scrolling of my vehicle. The ability to change the car icon is good, especially with the large number of icons displayed on the Garmin website.
The accuracy is pretty good too, and even turn the unit is so lazy that it becomes annoying. And contrary to what I was used to mine, when I come to a stop at the intersection, the map is not turned on me.
Speaker is as I expected, do not hear much more than a machine of high, but the handle is sufficient, at least you can hear if you keep the music a little.
The option to easily download the vocals as well appreciated.
He did well with my test go to one place to another, following instructions, and most of the time it gives you directions in plenty of time. only once or twice does not mean "turn right in this and that," until I was about 20 feet from the street, but that was when I reached the stop signs and has slowed down, so can compensate for the speed factor.
Calculation of warning is a bit boring, my MIO say that once, at times, this means that three times before it starts to show the alternative route.
We still have about 900 MB of internal memory for additional voices, icons, maps and such, and the SD slot is not much room to grow.
I have a Verizon XV6900 Windows Mobile 6.1 phone, and while Bluetooth paired well and can see the phone status, battery, signal, even dialed and missed calls lists, it is never on the agenda. becomes a random entry and that's it - so when I turn it on, simply select a user and is different each time. Not yet tracked down which one yet. However, all other options Bluetooth phones worked fine.
I'm not a fan of the power cord is too thick for him twice, however, and would be doubly annoying (no pun intended) if I were to ride somewhere up in the window so that the cable has double hanging.
I can see how the ads would be annoying at times (traffic free advertising because it moves), but do not take if you turn off all traffic, and since most of my driving is not it time for the Traffic is a concern, I can not leave it for when they actually have a use for it.
Good response to the entry of the fingers, and while the unit is in overall quality, much better than mine, I miss the ability of the MOI have an information panel until the last third of the screen and the map the first two thirds of that when you want. But some information available in the data at the top and bottom of the bubble, so it will survive.
Generally satisfied with the device, which works well and worth the cost.
