Good Points

Cheap, has a wall plug for charging, fits onto windscreen arm easier than a Tomtom.


Bad Points

Inaccurate, takes ages to start up, parts of the maps missing, doesn't record history properly, options not saved.


General Comments

I tested this on routes that I know well and on every occasion it tried to take me on routes that would have been of greater distance and taken more time. One built-up area disappeared altogether leaving a big sea of blue, and again on the return trip, so no coincidence. The unit takes ages to start up, on one trip I gave up waiting for it and switched it off! Both the history and favourites don't seem to record what, or how, you would expect. The voice is too quiet on anything expect maximum 10, but when the unit is switched off, it returns to a default, so you have to remember to turn it up, each time. It's cheap, but save up for a Tom Tom, Navman or Garmin. It will be worth it. Do not buy.
