After using this GPS unit for a while, I am just annoyed - but no more since it stopped working (some kind of corrupted file - I get an error screen when I try to turn it on). To repair requires returning to the manufacturer (return mail paid) which would be more expensive than just buying a new one.
Some usage annoyances for anyone thinking of getting this unit:
- the search POI by name is useless since it sorts results by city. this makes no sense at all, it should sort by distance if no city is entered.
- the search POI by distance is useless since it only looks at locations less than 4 kms from current location. Results should fill at least one screen, ie. If nothing found within 4km, extend to 8, then 16, etc. Until a full screen of stuff is visible. At highways speeds in a rural area, a search will find nothing, and then suddenly find a bunch of stuff because a town is now within 4 kms - but you are likely just passing the highway exit.
Another minor annoyance is that "Time to Destination" should be replaced with ETA, or allow switching between.
