Not very good, for the price you can buy a device without built-in GPS (mine doesn't even get a signal).

This unit works fine but has some minor issues. This is a good budget option with plenty of features and inputs. However, if you don't have extra speakers/screens, one of the many cheaper devices with the same specs will do. I'm hesitant to leave this one because it's too much of a hassle to swap out, but I wouldn't recommend it. What annoys me the most is that the USB slot does not support fast charging, very inconvenient. Even an additional USB port on the back. Using a simple connection kills the battery very quickly, and the device itself is not a good charger, you have to use a cigarette lighter adapter or something on an old car. The wireless connection is terrible, almost non-existent. Finally a phone to check WiFi and GPS. The GPS doesn't work (so the built-in maps are useless without internet) and the Wi-Fi range is very short, even if the antenna is outside the car, let alone installed locally. What I like about this device is that I bought it mainly because I liked the look of the face and the button/knob layout. The interface isn't terrible, responsiveness is decent, the screen is bright enough, it doesn't take long to start. All of these are basically tablets, very light and thin. I used a Metra installation kit and wiring harness for my car. The installation kit did not fit this unit exactly as it has its own bracket/bezel and the holes appeared to be different. It took a bit of flexing of the mounts to fit them in the dash. And why I don't want to take this one off, I'm afraid it will be damaged. Totally regret this purchase, could have had the same functionality for 1/3.

Pros
