Great screen and Text to Speach but Routing gives longer paths
Pros: Great screen, many POI, text to speech, touch screen. dual display at intersections. Easily picks satellite and starts quickly. Easy to carry in a pocket.
Cons: Routing does not give shortest distance even when setting routing option to shortest.

It is a very useful unit as it has many points of interest and gives you a list of these with their phone numbers. The search feature is easy and fast. Internally it has 2 GB memory full of data.

The main problem i .... Read more

Excellent GPS unit for price
I have had this GPS unit for just over 2 weeks now and must say I like it quite a bit. This was my first GPS unit but it pretty much has everything that I need at the moment. I had been looking at GPS units the last few months, seeing prices drop and finally jumped at this one, seeing it was a Sony and had the text to voice feature. I'll list some of the pros/cons below based mostly on the features I found useful in this unit for it's price.

Pros:

1. Text to voice. Voic .... Read more

So far, so good!
I purchased this at Best Buy because of it was $90 plus I got an extra $10 gift card.

I have only used it today, but I was very impressed. I love the dual view when coming up to intersections. It makes complicated interstate exits easy to manage. I don't understand the people who complain that it's .... Read more

Used it for one day and returning it.
Well bought it on sale for $79. Well i don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on GPS device, since i do not need Bluetooth, MP3, TTS etc..
All i need for it to get me where im going.

First of all im not new to GPS devices. I used Tom Tom and and before dying on me it was working really nice but one day for no reason it just DIED. i also used Magellan 1212, So this GPS is my 3rd one.


Pros:
--- Gets good signal right away and thats why i gave 2 stars i .... Read more

Frustration? Yeah, we got it!
Thank you,thank you for the opportunity to (vent) review the frustrations of this product. First of all, check all my reviews...they are all positive for good reasons: I have loved the products. Not so this little gem. It is counter intuitive and frustrating to operate, even when at home and not in a moving vehicle. This is so surprising for a Sony product of which I have many, from digital cameras to televisions. From its (5? volt) car plug in adaptor (you know any 5 volt cars?!) to its in .... Read more
