Easy to use, Intuitive, but tradeoffs may annoy some power-users.

Zero problems - Excellent unit!

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's a great unit that gets the job done and doesn't break the bank.
Review: I have now had this unit for 4 months and it has bailed me out MANY times. It is really uncanny how accurate it is.

On occasion you will think "no way, I shouldn't be turning here" so you don't only to find that the unit WAS right. The...
