Good Points
Slim, compact, clear, good volume on voice, accurate, looks great. Nice unit. Points of interest. Quick to route. Quick to re-route if you go wrong.
Bad Points
The occasional odd innaccuracy. BUT which sat nav doesnt have innaccuracies (even the main brands). will sometimes loop me , as the road layout has recently changed in my area (so I need to update my mapping to reflect this change).
General Comments
It's a really good unit. Have owned Sony, Garmin and all the main brands, but none (that I've owned) have been as quick, accurate, easy to use, slim and compact, and generally as good as this Binatone model.
Dont spend wasted cash on branded models, when for a mere fraction of the price you could get this Binatone. It's really good. I use it for work driving to mutli locations (the most being about 20 locations one after the other, and I did the locations with ease, ....and was home by 2pm, after setting off at 9am too.
In short, a decent 'basic and budget' unit with no frills and unneeded features (that; lets be really honest would rarely get used anway).
If you want a solid A to B then buy this Binatone model!

Yes, but how do you update maps/speed cameras? There appears to be no mechanism to do this from Binatone
