Great Product, Minor Tradeoffs

This product really sets the bar for low-price, mid-range in-car GPS systems.

The POIs are up-to-date for my area (Including a shopping center [with stores] built in the last year), the directions are accurate, and the maps themselves seem to be relatively up-to-date.

It does take a bit longer than expected to aquire a signal from the satellites. I remember an occasion when I was lost, sitting in my car, waiting for 3-5 minutes for the satellites to lock. Needless-to-say, it was a nerveracking couple of minutes.

All-in-all, if you are on a budget, and need a GPS, I would recommend this product to you. If you have a bit more money to spend, go with the 500c, or a Garmin or TomTom unit.
