Worst Deck I ever owned

on May 13, 2017

Posted by: brianalone

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought this unit because I hate having a gps sitting on my dashboard and most of the reviews were ok. I also wanted a unit that would allow my granddaughter to watch DVD's when we go traveling. What a mistake that was! The DVD only works if the parking brake is on and I am sure that is my fault for not reading enough of the details but it still annoys me. But the worst part is how difficult the GPS is to use. First it takes a long time to sync with the satellites each time you start the car. Next it takes way too many steps to plug in an address. You cannot start with the street address, first you have to tell it what state, then city or zip and then the street and finally the number. I could enter the address on my Iphone 5 times in the time it takes to enter it once on this unit. Next strike is the screen calibration - it has never worked correctly so pressing the number 1 button or anything else on the left edge of the screen takes using a pointer or you get the 2 button. I have tried to recalibrate many times to no avail. Next strike is the clock is rarely on the screen and never when the map is displayed. But the final strike is trying to update the firmware/maps. I have tried using the website and their "navitools" but the instructions screens don't match any of the screens on my unit and I keep getting an error that my pc is not registered so I cannot install any maps. DO NOT BUY this unit!!!!!!
