Returned it for a Garmin

The Bottom Line: A gps with many exciting features but the delays and lack of accuracy don't make up for it.
This was the first gps I ever bought so I didn't really know what to expect. Upon first impression I loved it. It was extremely easy to set up and start using right out of the box. The volume is adjustable from a very quiet voice to an extremely loud one so you can hear it without a problem even if your windows are rolled down.
I loved messing around with the points of interests and even though I live in a semi-small town nearly every restaurant and store was listed. Here's where my first complaint comes in though. There's an option to pick a point of interest in a certain city (which is what I usually did) and even though I knew the area I set it to take me to the only Walmart in that town. Before I got too far I realized it was taking me to a Walmart thirty plus miles away instead of the one that was five miles from my home. When I turned around it froze a long time before planning the new route.
Also, after a few days use we noticed there was a very noticeable delay and it started speaking nonsense: telling us to turn where no roads were in sight for miles or telling us to turn in the wrong direction.
