J Baute, Trowbridge

+ Gets you there, but makes you go the long way round, tried to set it, but it still wants to go its own way, tells you when there is a speed camera around, and also the speed limit, so that is all good

- will not enable you to enter the way via certain areas, which can be distracting when you are driving, not keen on the 'voice' would be good to be able to change it

+ easy to use good price

- the worst sat-nav for continued use i have ever seen. Too many times NO GPS Signal appears. I would not recomend this unit to anyone. If i could get a return refund i would.

Garry, York , “Busy, Mobile Professional Engineer.”

+ Size and physical look. RAC Brand.

- Maps out of date, Route 66 software needs updating. Little or no instructions on how to update it. Sound/Alarm limitations. Unit locks up frequently, especially when awakened from 'Sleep Mode'

sandra , rothwell northamptonshire

+ picks up gps signal quickly, finds routes ok

- touch screen facilities are too small, other products on the market have larger touch areas so it can be used without the aid of the pen.
It does calculate routes wrong: the fastest route is not the fastest, even without traffic congestion.

Elain, Coventry

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Doesn't pick up GPS very well, difficult and complicated to use. Long time to re-calculate if wrong direction is taken, screen attachment very large hard to get a good angle and doesn't stay on the screen.
