Good Points

Quick responding. Doesn't take an aeon to detect current GPS position like others i've used. Accurate navigation. This is ultimately what I bought it for and its definately good at that. Price: Got mine new for ' 140 on ebay. Accessories are great, specifically the well fitted scratch proof case which you can slide the RS-850 in to and throw into your jacket pocket when your leaving your vehicle unnattended. Has 37 European countries & tons of languages to boot.


Bad Points

The bluetooth feature seems poorly developed. The connection between devices itself is fine, the thing I cant get over is the poor quality of the speaker and even worse quality of sound coming from the headphone socket when used with headphones. It seems to only output audio at an annoyingly buzzy frequency of about 1Khz which makes it sound like you're having a telephone conversation with the mom in Tom & Jerry's cartoons. Also the battery doesn't get much done but that doesn't matter with the charger hooked up. Volume control is a bit bandy.


General Comments

When I weigh the good points against the bad points I still end up loving this sat nav. Would highly reccommend it to most people wanting a fast responding fairly well engineered navigation system, with the exception of those who wish to realistically and effectively use its bluetooth feature in conjunction with a standard set of headphones, standard mobile phone headset or the built in speaker.
