Good Points
Excellent maps and fast signal acquisition even with heat reflective windscreen. Reroute is within seconds of wrong turn and places you back to original route very quickly. Out of car and into pocket - great for walking or touring on foot, will take you back to start point by most direct route.
Overall probably the best portable Sat-Nav I have owned, and I have had the so called best.
Bad Points
Voices. Cannot make comment on the languages I don't speak - UK English, Blairish, "Eh whot ho' old chap", but doesn't put you off route by telling lies - US English, Like Bush but a lot brighter (it's a machine!) - German, almost but not quite in ordnung.
They will just have to get native speakers.

If you want the best you have got to know how to use it. I dare say they could simplify user operation but it would not give the return.
Mitac have produced an excellent machine, but like all else first acquire the knowledge to gain the reward. Thanks Mitac a job well done.
