I bought this system back in December 07 and it hasn't proved it's worth. I like many other buyers was drawn to it by the large screen. That is by far the best quality of the system. Once i got the system running. It was great. For about a month. Then it started locking up on me. I would have to continuously re-boot it to get to allow me to use the navigation portion of the system. I never figured out what format the audo, video and pictures should be and now, the system just locks on the main screen. This thing has been more hassel than help. I bought a Tom Tom 720 GO at the same time and it hasn't failed me yet. If i hadn't lost my receipt I would definitely take this thing back to the store and get my money back. I wouldn't recommend this system to anyone. You'd be better off with a MAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I tested this unit for 2 months. The 7'' screen is great and the manufacturer support is good. Two major draw backs on the unit though: 1) the lack of battery power means every time I ignite my car it will turn itself off and on again, then I need to re-enter my destination and wait for the route calculation; 2) The software that came with the unit (ver 4.0 disc) was crappy. I asked for an update and the manufacturer quickly sent me the ver 4.1 disc along with a 2GB SD card for the larger updated map. But the new software took so much longer to lock onto GPS signal that I have already traveled a few blocks down the road before it locks onto the signal. Admittedly once locked the new software is great improvement over the old one, and it has multiple languages (including Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese) too. The software is based on the Smart-2-Go software developed by Nokia and it has great potential but at this stage it is still immature compared to Garmin or other big names. |

Bought this on a whim. I've used mostly PC based GPS systems in the past, and all of them have their quirks. I bought this one solely because of the 7 inch screen. No, it's not perfect, but then no GPS unit I've seen is. So far, I've only used it to navigate to and from places where I know the route and it has performed flawlessly. Admittedly, it didn't always pick the route I would have chosen, and it does have a few ''glitches'' (such as telling me to get off the highway and back on again at the same exit when my destination is far beyond that exit), but I've seen those same things on units costing three times the price. We'll have to see how well the device lasts, but for now, I'm giving it 4 stars overall.

Bought this a couple weeks ago from Tiger Direct and absolutely hate it. I have used about 6 different navigation systems and this is by far the worst one. I can put my address in this unit and be parked 500 feet from my driveway and it will still want to guide me ''19 MILES OUT OF MY WAY to get to my house. There are some new roads in my area and when you go off course it keeps wanting to take you back to the last road it has in it's data base. Problem is when it shows that you are back on the recognized road it is still wanting to guide you back to that raod 10 miles back. This thing is complete trash, I am sending this one back! |

The unit just locks up and have to be rebooted every time it stops. That is very risky while one is driving. On one of the review some one wrote that they can get 4 satelites inside the house but my question is how can someone pickup 4 satelites in home with no battery backup? The tech. support is practically ZERO, as when you call the number it goes on voice mail which remains full at all time and one can't put additional information for call back. I even called TigerDirect rep. and asked him to veryfy and he too verified that he couldn't get any tech. support. I had to return the unit back and THANKS to TigerDirect for prompt refund. I wouldn't advice anyone to go for this unit, instead go for GARMIN. |

I purchased one from Tiger about a month ago and my wife loved it so much, she made me buy here one. The maps were outdated when I recieved the units but emailed DVS and they said maps will be updated every 6 months to 1 year. DVS also said if I purchased the unit within 30 days to email them my reciept and they would send an updated. I sent the email and within 2 days I had a new DVD version 4.1 maps and POI's were updated along with the some changes to the User interface. You will need to purchase a 2gb SD card for the latest maps to fit since they are 1.6Gb. A great unit graphics are a little grainy but who can complain with the price. This unit has such great Sat reception that I can pickup 4 Sats in my house in a room with no windows and outside it pickup 10 to 12. I also like the User interface because it is intuitive. Navigation works great and the FM transmitter sounds great. The window mount is also high quality. DVS said future updates would run 40 to 50 bucks. Game is good. |

this unit does not seem very accurate,never displayed data closer than 500 yards. Downloaded latest updates, same problem. Graphics are lousy. can't find POI's but will display them as you pass. lousy tech. support (non-existant). save your money and buy a garmin. COMPLETELY USELESS !!!
Thank You TigerDirect for a promt refund, your service can't be beat! |

Had for a few mths now. Very happy with it. Maps out of date, but I emailed the company (great support by the way) and they sent an order form for the new software/maps. The only issue that I have had is that sometimes it takes a while to find the satellite. However, the recalulation of routes on the fly is supberb. I rarely ever get lost anymore!!! Would highly recommend. |

Great Idea for a product. 5 stars in the area of innovation. Use of aux video jacks, this unit will play with/through anything. FM transmitter for playing through your car stereo... simply amazing.... great price |
