“Hate it.. you get lost more than it will get you where...”

Good Points
Accident black spots and speed camera warnings are great and one of the reasons I bought the unit over others.

Bad Points
Slow and awkward menus but you do get used to them. MP3 and Photo functions are a waste of time.

Don't know where to start about its route planning. Its terrible, and I mean really terrible, (mine's fully updated online). The unit seems totally incapable of getting you from A to B without getting you lost. The biggest problem I have found is roundabouts, some it recognises, some it thinks are junctions so it constantly tries to send you the wrong way. Voice direction rarely matches the road its trying to send you down. Curves in the roads it often thinks are junctions as well, and this is on Major roads so you find it telling you to turn right when your just going round a curve in the road.

I did a 45 mile journey today, and the blue line which tells you which road to take went left at a junction and straight on as well. Luckily i knew the route or i would have had to split the car in half to follow its direction.

Anyway. Ive officially had enough of this sat nav and i'm taking it back to halfords to get a different model made by someone who car make a map.
