| Summary: Over half of the reviews it has received were for five-stars, with things like the bright, easy-to-read screen, easy-to-use menus, and simple set-up mentioned.

Most reviewers found the bright screen and features to be adequate for a GPS unit at this price range.

| Summary: Negative reviews centered around possibly buggy software and over quality of this GPS, but they were few in number compared to the positive four- and five-star reviews. The voice recognition was just one of many features mentioned by those who liked the GPS. A fantastic winner was the way quite a few people described it. Some said the volume is a little low, but free software easily fixes the problem - if it is a problem for you. Many seemed to think this was one of the great GPS navigators. For the price, it was said to be a wonderful value for those thinking about upgrading their current GPS or those wanting to get one for the first time.
