Good Points

The best speed trap detector on the market.
Simple easy to use and clear sat nav
Very easy to update. Camera locations are updated a couple of times a week and are available to download
Good well made and sturdy window mount - the best i've seen


Bad Points

None really for everyday use. If I'm being picky:-

Favourite destinations can only be saved as favourites to the unit once you have been there

Cannot plan multiple destination trips. I.e. cannot tell unit to naviagte to one point and then another. You have to drive to the fist point and then re-program.

POI's preinstalled into the unit are good, however you cannot upload your own. Past experience has proved that many of these downloaded form the web are wrong anyway and with speed cameras already covered off as a function in the Pogo Drive, this is a minor grumble.


General Comments

Upgraded to Pogo drive from the B2 Origin. As I expected the Speed Camera alerts are 2nd to none. This is the best unit by far for alerting you to fixed camera locations and now common mobile sirtes have been included. Cameras which are only located on your side of the road generate an alert to cut down on false alerts.
GPS lock is much better than the B2. The unit locks on very quickly (usually within 5-10 secs) and evens locks on when inside buildings on some occasions.
The Sat Nav side of the Pogo Drive is adequate. It's a basic unit and provides most of the functionality that you would expect. It's very easy to use, has a clear display and loud verbal directions.
My previous Navman Sat Nav had more features but to be honest most were hardly every used. The only reason for not giving this product a 10 is the basic sat nav side but as stated for 99.9% of journeys it does everything that you would wish.
