GPS Systems

Advantages: Large bright screen, loud voice, superior suction mount, good navigation
Disadvantages: Slow calculating routes

...While no GPS is perfect, Sony has done a pretty good job with this one. The 4.8" screen is crisp and bright, touch screen responds well, bluetooth works the best of any other unit I tried. Routing is decent, POI icons are branded, not generic which is really nice. You can also select the size of fonts and icons. The mount is absolutely the best. Power and TMC connect to it so the unit can be removed quickly. The suction cup actually sticks to the ...
...to have some issues that Sony claims to have fixed with a firmware update. One of them is the route calculation and recalculation times. IMO this is the major flaw with the unit. While not unbearable, both the calculating route and recalculation are slower than other units. I've owned and tried about 20 different units in the past year, and I must say this is by far my favorite. ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I have a friend that loves this GPS. He will not go anywhere without it. He continues to try to get me to buy one and even said he would buy another just so I could have his. He is impressed with its ability to get you anywhere and he says that he has not had one problem with it. If you take a wrong turn due to your mistake then it will get you right back on track.

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review
