Pros: lock in less than 5 seconds in the house, by the time you open the cardoor, it is already locked to satellite. Stable, accurate, nothing I can think of in using it as a GPS
MP3 player/photo viewer works. Not that I care, it comes with the GPS.
Cons: Update via SD card. It is kind of annoying if you do not get access to SD card R/W
Search mechanism is RIGID. I guess most GPS are.
Bottom line. If you need a GPS, this one wont fail you, USA+Canada only. Standalone unit for $108, come with car mount, battery, USB cable 1G SD card holds the map and a whopping 32 mb POI file.
Feel free to ask me Q,

My unit came DOA
I got an RMA and sent it back yesterday morning. They're charging me a dang restocking fee!!! What's to restock? It should go back to the manufacturer...
Oh well, in the mean time I found this >> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...571&CatId=3422
It was $159 when I ordered on Friday...
I couldn't pass up the 4.3" touch screen. The dang N800 has got me spoiled.
Anyway, I attached a small JAVA app that I have found useful in making my own POI's from Google searches. I changed the file extension to "zip" so I could attach it.
After downloading, change the "zip" extension back to "jar" and run it on a desktop machine that has the JAVA VM installed.
It is self explanatory. I found that if you limit the search radius to 2 or 300 miles, it captures just about everything. Edit the output in place and then save it how you like.
