      I purchased this unit to use on the road. I have been using a GPS system for about 4 years. I have one built in to my Jeep, have been renting from Hertz when traveling. Decided I would purchase a unit to save the rental fee everytime.

      Pros
      The unit is able to locate satellites very quickly. The street name announcements are great. The tracking is quite reliable.

      Cons
      System does not include airports as a POI. I was unable to locate an airport unless I knew the terminal name, not just the city or airport name (ex: can't find Phoenix airport or Phoenix Sky Harbor airport). It could however if the terminal had a name, such as Barry Goldwater Terminal 4. The chances are remote a traveler would know that level of details about an airport. I contacted tech support,below is their response.
      Hello, because there are over 120 million poi's in the US alone and not all can be listed. And our map supplier decides which goes into your maps. There is a POI loader that will be coming out soon and will be announced on our website. This POI loader will allow you to look up anything you want and save it to your PC then transfer to a SD card for your device.
