Does the job and then some

This GPS unit works. If that's all you want to know, don't read. It takes a long time to load, but once it's done, it quickly syncs with the satellites. Entering a destination address is fairly easy and directions are clear. An annoying "feature" warns me when I'm exceeding the speed limit. Yeah thanks tin can, I know I was 3 mph over the limit. It means keeping up with the traffic and not getting hit by a jeep coming behind me. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a one-time warning, but it kept nagging. There may be a way to turn this off or increase the grunt threshold to around 5mph, but I couldn't find it. The device has many other features: some built-in games, a calculator, an e-book reader and I can't remember what else. I think it's fine if you don't need navigation at the moment and have kids to keep you busy, but with phones and tablets being so common I'm not sure why add-ons are added. It won't hurt. , I just don't think I'll ever use it. The battery works fine. I haven't tested how long it lasts, but it's still long enough to park the car and fill up without having to recharge everything on the way. The included clips and mounts should allow you to attach the device to almost any dashboard and if you don't have a windshield suction cup.

Pros
  • Car Video
Cons
  • Power outlet required
