Useful Under Most Conditions

Date of Review: Aug 6, 2008

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 However, the maps were out-of-date when I bought it and Whistler has yet to release new maps.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 the real location, then entering a nearby intersection into the GPS.

The only thing that has failed so far is the mounting bracket. It became brittle after a couple months of sitting in the car and cracked.

The battery doesn't hold a charge anymore but that's not much of a problem since it's usually powered by the car.

The only other irritation is the shut-down sequence. You have to exit the navigation app (the only app I use) before you power off. If you forget to do this, you'll need to power back on, exit the app, power off and power back on again before using it again.

Pros
Easy to use. Pretty much "just works".
Cons
No map updates. Flimsy mounting bracket. Awkward shut-down.
