NAViBLUE - NBC3500 - 3.5-Inch Screen GPS Navigation Device With MP3 Playback And Picture ViewerItem#: N127-1004  |  Model#: NBC3500  | 

This is a great unit for the price. The more expenisive units may do a better job of route calculation (just a guess) but it does an decent job. Someday I will take it into Boston and see if gets me where I am going. I can't imagine any more difficult test.

Don't waste your time. I don't know where the other users have been using this thing but in the South Florida area route calculation was abysmal. Several times the route took ages to calculate and then gave up, saying ''too many turns''. On more than one occasion it actually took us in th opposite direction we should have been driving. It also had difficulty recovering from a missed turn- requesting the user make u-turns to get back to the route instead of recalculating the route for the next best way. We had a Mio Map before and it was far better than this unit. The only thing I can say it did reliably was that it WOULD accurately show my position. If that's all you need it for, fine. Just don't bother with route calculation.

I have an installed GPS Nav in my 300c so I used this as my base line. Albeit the icons are not ''as'' descriptive it is a farely intuitive GPS and I have yet to open the manual. The GPS works fine as it should, the Map routing and in 3D mode is more than adequate and the battery makes using it without a power cord nice. All in all I'd say I'm happy. I'm a tech guru, and I throw things out the window that don't work the way I want, needless to say It's still on the dash of my wifes mini van.

Works exactly as advertised--great value for the money. Put it in my wife's convertible. If it gets stolen, it's cheap enough that I won't care. Works almost exactly the same way as the $2,000+ built-in GPS in my Freestyle.

I've read some reviews, but was not convinced until I've got the unit. It is very good. Even WinCE which is NO,NO by itself did not give me much trouble. Using it couple of weeks and hung only once when manipulating the screen. Don't have extensive experience with other GPS. Previously just rented Garmin330 in FL. NaviBlue has all features G330 has & some are even better: recalculates new route very quickly, allows for multiple stops on the way, shows how many satelites receives, allows ''on-the-fly'' blocking of road ahead (forcing reroute), better address input, North/Route pointing, changing car to bicycle or pedestrian. Plays mp3's or shows pictures (not movies like other moron wrote) when not navigating. Other features similar to G330: day/night change, POI, 2D/3D, fastest/shortest, avoiding toll or highways. Does the same mistakes as other do. Window suck attachment is better then I thought (I still prefer on dash ''balast''). CONS: No customer support, no updates to maps or P
