Great nav system for a great price

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: highly functional navigation unit with mature software, great GPS receiver and very aggressive price.
Review: I was able to pick up a WGPX-550 at Compusa for $249 after $100 rebate. I choose the unit mainly based on low price, but was extremely happy to discover that its navigation software is iGuidance.

My main navigation system for the past 3...

Impressive performance, though lacking in features

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: An excellent, easy to use navigation system if you can get it at a good price.
Review: The soon-to-be defunct Comp USA was auctioning these and I got a refurb unit for under $90!

This is a unit that serves 3 functions: As a GPS used to navigate while driving a car, as an MP3 player, and as a JPG viewer. The main function is...

Whistler WGPX-550

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again. Size, display and coverage are good. Very portable and easy to use.
Review: I've had my WGPX-550 for about a month and have used it both in my local area (Atlanta) and while traveling around the country.

The unit is small enough to put in your shirt pocket. Its rectangular shape and slim design make this easy...

Fabulous GPS - Especially for the price!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2007
Review: I recently purchased this handy little GPS from Woot.com for only $244. Regardless of the price paid, this is an amazing unit! Right out of the box I was able to lock on to satellites from inside the house. The female voice is clear and loud enough...

Take the Bad with the Good (File Corruption )

Date of Review:  May 6, 2007
Review: For me, this device worked for about 4-months and then suffered severe file corruption and wouldn't work until I contacted technical support. I also experienced occasional smaller file errors while switching between screens during normal use.

Great buy at the price

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2006
Review: This is my first GPS unit and I am very happy with it. The maps are very accurate. I use it on a vacation and, it took me to where ever I asked it to go. The POI's were very helpful, with finding restaurants and tourist attractions. If you deviate...

Useful Under Most Conditions

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
Review: I've had one of these for about a year and a half. It works reasonably well most of the time. However, the maps were out-of-date when I bought it and Whistler has yet to release new maps. As a result, I find myself having to check Google Maps for...
