Keep it to myself - Portable GPS Navigators

I was pleased with the appearance of the device. All my cars run perfectly. Setup was easy. In general, I am very satisfied with his work. There are a few caveats. Firstly, although the instructions are generally good, the device seems to be late in providing the instructions to follow them. It pretends to think you are 50 feet from your actual location. In practice, this means that you may miss an important turn. I used to have a Magellan that rang exactly where it was necessary to turn the steering wheel - this one isn't like that. Another issue is that the display can be quite cluttered (which I consider an industry-wide feature), especially when it comes to lane navigation. I'm generally happy with this device and will keep it until it dies. I'll take this opportunity to say what I'm NOT happy with is the Revain trade-in on my previous unit. Since there is nothing to say about this anywhere, I will do it here. My complaint is that they don't tell you what parts they expect to give you an estimate. I had a holder with me, wasn't sure if it belonged to the device and didn't send it along. The rest of the unit was complete and in excellent condition. They reduced the block cost by 75% because of the missing brackets. I would like to send them a mount but there is no way to do that. If they want to be so strict about completeness, they have to tell you what constitutes completeness. I see that as a catch, if not plagiarism.
