Was extremely dissapointed with this device. User manual is unclear on how to do anything, i.e. setting up a driving path (this feature was grayed out in the settings menu). GPS reception is terrible. It takes about 10 minutes to find a signal, if it ever does. I was unable to load any GPX files onto it because every time I plugged it in to my computer, the GPS freezes and I can't even turn it off without removing the batteries. Speaking of batteries, the thing has crap battery life, only lasting 2 hours at best. Last of all, the whole thing runs slow as crap. It takes about 5 minutes to turn on, and then lags so much in map mode that it's barely usable at all. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY POSITIVE REVIEWS!! THERE ARE WAYYYY BETTER GPS UNITS OUT THERE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THAN THIS!!! GET A GARMIN OR SOMETHING THAT WORKS!! DONT WORRY ABOUT GETTING THE LEAST-EXPENSIVE UNIT!! IN FACT IN THE CASE OF GPS, PRICE USUALLY INDICATES QUALITY!!
