Tops on features, short on accuracy!.......2005-04-16
road navigation or waypoints! Wow!!!.......2004-12-11
A good experience..........2004-11-14
The idea of having to load maps is not new, and is generally necessary for a lot of devices like this (unless you buy a mega-expensive hard-drive based units). Loading a few state maps didn't take too long, and was really no more difficult than syncing my PDA.
I also have not experienced the reset issue mentioned by one of the other reviewers.
Don't bother, .......2004-11-09
Overall VERY annoying.
Looks like it is simple, but is really CONFUSING!.......2004-10-16
First, all the maps were not on the device. I had to select some from the CD's. Next, I had to keep going back to my PC to make changes.
Once I got the right maps loaded, it was slow to give me directions while driving. I guess it is meant to be used at slow speeds. Not very handy if you are in a hurry.
One day, I left the charger cable at home (while changing maps at my PC), so I though the battery could hold me for a short trip. Apparently, the battery does not hold the charge long, since it turned off on me. Also, my location started to move off the road!
Good for technical wizards, not for regular people.
