Advantages: Small and worth the price Disadvantages: Routes chosen
A friend of mine has this GPS system. He does like it and I find that it is actually pretty useful. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not take you on the same route back that you went in on. This confuses me and worries me that I am being taken in the wrong direction. It does try to take you on the shortest path but sometimes this is not the fastest path. It may take you through the center of town rather than down an interstate ...

Advantages: Good quality, clear speakers, easy to install Disadvantages: NONE
This GPS system is high-quality and has a good picture. It will show you the road that you're on and makes it easy to find your way around. If you miss a road or make a wrong turn it will calculate a new route for you to take to your destination. It tells you out loud which roads to take so you don't have to look at the screen and get distracted. This system makes it easy to focus on driving, not getting lost, and makes your life a lot easier. Whenever ...

Advantages: Large screen size, Easy to use, Plays mp3s Disadvantages: Graphics, Size and safe mounting
...the most expensive unit, but Garmin seemed best, and the 7200 and 7500 have the largest screens. The screen is large and very easy to read. Some Pros: - All the maps (US) are included. No need to pay for extra unlocks and deal w/ getting them going. - Works right out of the box. - Works well with XM - Easily plugged into my computer, for loading of mp3s and books. - Interface is probably not the easiest, but that's because there are so many ways ... ...don't want to muck w/ anything, it's ready to go, and you could just go w/ the default interface. Some Cons:
- Calling customer service is brutal. Once I reached them, they were absolutely knowledgeable and easy to understand. But reaching them meant several failed attempts over several days.
I would defidently recommend to a friend ...

Advantages: Big Widescreen, Easy to use Controls, Stylish Disadvantages: Price
...had been looking at the TomTom One, but his unit has much more to offer. It has a bigger widescreen for easy viewing. This really helps when you are trying to look at maps while driving. I have been to some very far out "off the map" places, and this thing has always updated correctly to show exactly where you are and the best route to reach your destination. This unit is a little higher than the TonTom One, but it is well worth it due to the extra ...
