 Works well March 10, 2010
John Doe (Canada)
Used it in Calgary and on a vacation to Floriday.
Works perfectly. Traffic updates do not work in Calgary though.
 Works Great February 9, 2010
M. Drake (Edmonton, AB, Canada)
Granted, this is my first GPS unit so I don't have a lot to compare it with, but I was pleasantly suprised how well it works. The unit aquires satellites very fast and frame rate on the unit while driving is quite smooth. Tons of useable POI's. After getting the free map update I have even the newest and most obscure streets in my area available on the device. Incredibly intuitive and easy to use interface that anyone could figure out.
The major con on the device is the bluetooth speakerphone. I've found it to be borderline unusable as the other caller can rarely hear me and their voice comes through quite tinny. Poor sound quality. That said, I did not buy the device for this feature (I use a bluetooth headset) so I do not use it anyway. If you plan on relying on this feature for in-car calls, you should consider something else.
Overall, as a portable GPS, it is outstanding reliability and performance for the price. Don't hesitate to buy.
Excellent Device If You Don't Upgrade Map January 29, 2010
Y. Wang (Ontario, Canada)
When I bought the device it was out of stock on Amazon. But Amazon did a good a job to fill my order quickly.
The device is excellent on the road, very responsive. The FM traffic information also works but not entirely accurate. Google map on my BlackBerry shows more accurate traffic status.
I'll rate this device as 5 star if not because of its painful map upgrade.
I need download a 2gig file from their web site and it takes hours...that's not a big deal. Then I open the file and run it, it take forever to install the software into my computer. Moreover, the device got a very slow USB port so the file tranfer file from PC to GPS also takes forever. So you get 3 times of forever...just be alarted if you want to update the map. I didn't find much difference between the new map and the factory loaded file, I guess you better off and leave the orignal map there.
I can't help to notice another small problem as a designer - the surface of this devce is too smooth to hold. I already drop the device several times. Now since it's permenently stay on its car hold, I think it's fine now.
Great little machine January 27, 2010
J. Y. Choi (Toronto, ON)
The price I paid was only ~$170 so it is worth the money. It shows you the traffic (only freeways in Canada) and some road closures. It takes quite a bit of time searching for satellite coming out of underground parking but other than that, everything else works perfectly fine!
Awesome January 17, 2010
A. Hartman (Drayton Valley,AB Canada)
Product works even better than expected.Used it right away on a trip out of town.Very user friendly.
