User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Must be easy to use!
We bought this for my Mother-In-Law for Christmas. She has a really hard time understanding all electronics that she needs to use and we weren’t sure she would be able to use this. She has already used it many times and loves it! She figured out how to use it in about 5 minutes. She said it is great and loves all the features on it.

Very happy with the product, price, shipping and packing. I would do business with this company again. Thanks

5 Stars Rocking Roadmate!
I got this for Xmas and am loving it! I moved from Phoenix area to Dallas area and have gotten lost even with mapquest maps, Google maps and a big Texas road atlas. This thing actually works right out of the box! The second time I used it I didn’t even look at the screen (traffic) but it gave such good directions I just listened to “her”. It was like having someone sit next to you and tell you where to turn.

2 minor considerations: I have a MAC, not a windooz PC so I’m not sure how that will affect updates, but I figure I can mooch from my darling daughter. The other thing is that the documentation is all on the CD in a .pdf file. Good enough but I would have liked a hard copy manual.

5 Stars Glad I read reviews
I think this GPS is great. No problems with sound, the screen is easy to read, prompts are user friendly, so many points of interest, easy to use. I am so glad that I continued to read reviews when I originally decided to get a GPS. Sometimes it is hard to decide because the reviews vary to such a degree. But this one is great and the price is right.

Excellent device, easy to use and the best price I found anywhere. Arrived within 2-3 days of order.
