Good GPS unit
on May 19, 2010
Posted by: Trustworthy77
from Illinois
This is my first GPS unit and it works very well. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it. I would imagine it's a good value for this type of item, but as I've never seen or used another GPS unit before...I'm obviously limited on my ability to compare such items.
I will tell you that it had a few difficulties locating the satellite while trying to use it in the downtown district of Chicago, assumably because there are so many skyscrapers blocking a direct view of the sky...but elsewhere, it worked just fine.
My only real complaint is not with Best Buy, but that I was under the assumption there would be free map updates for as long as I own the unit. You do get the initial one free (if you update your maps within 60 days of your first use of the product), but afterwards there's a cost. You can choose to update only when you need to and pay a price for that, or you can subscribe to lifetime updates (maximum: 4 times a year) at a higher price. That was a little disconcerting to me.
Otherwise though, the unit's worked out fine and I'm pleased with my purchase.

What's great about it: Priced adequately
What's not so great: Paying for map updates
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect add-on

This item was a perfect add-on for my new (Garmin) GPS unit. It sits solidly on the dashboard of my car, and lets you adjust your GPS unit to a level position even if your dashboard has a slope to it. I love being able to put it in place and remove it from the car so quickly and easily! For the materials used to actually construct this item...it may seem a little pricey, but the function and ease of use more than makes up for it. I would highly recommend this add-on item to anyone!
What's great about it: Makes it easy to position and remove your GPS!
What's not so great: Nothing, really.
I would recommend this to a friend!
