Customer Reviews
We got this one because of reviews on Overstock and other sources. It was the right price for the features. I really wanted to have one that named the streets - which we found is important. We messed around with trying the various voice options and forgot to put it back on the TTL text to language option - which includes naming of the streets. It makes a difference in response time to have street names called out when it comes time to turn. Otherwise it says, "in 1/8th of a mile turn right" Well I'm not a good gauge of distance and without the TTL I was turning sooner than I was suppose to. Once I realized the TTL wasn't turned on we had no more driving errors. The voice is loud enough and clear enough. I think those who say otherwise might have cars that have a lot of internal road noise on the inside of their vehicle. I also bought the latch device that hooks on to the air vents instead of the window - love it. Bought two - one to travel with and one to keep in my car. I found that my iPhone connection cords can be used to connect the GPS to the computer to update it. So all is good. I recommend it.
I have no difficulty in using this GPS at all- I mean, the minute I turn it on, I can use it, without reading the thick pile of instruction. The only problem I have with this product is: the female voice would always say:"take the left RAMP on the right lane" - the RAMP was pronounced in a very ambiguous way that I can hardly figure out what it is about at first, so it was a little bit confusing. Well, now that I am familiar with it, it is perfect for me.
We bought this for my Dad for his 80th birthday and he has enjoyed it very much. It was fairly easy to set up and initiate for him to get started using it. The screen is nice and big great for any one that doesn't have 20/20 vision. Also love the fact that it says the names of the streets where you need to turn. User friendly for all age groups
This GPS is great. It's easy to set up and simple to use. I particularly like the wider screen. The voice/speaker system is very clear and directions have been quite accurate. I highly recommend this GPS.
