Have had this unit for a little over a week, driven 2,000+ miles, and about to return it to store.

The system has some nice features, but fatally failed in the performance of the core function: navigation assistance.

I used the unit on one trip and upon my return, the DVD player no longer worked. I was instructed to return the unit to... Read full review »

but in fact I already made a turn (at the same time location of the car on the... Read full review »

Bought this item at Christmas time and used it 12/29/05 driving from NJ to Quebec City, Canada. It was working great. Unfortunately, 65mi. outside of QC, we hit black ice and spun and rolled the SUV over upside down. Recovered the GPS (but not the SUV!) and it is working just fine! Love the big...

Cons Easily losing signal and always hanging up. Not working anymore due to intellinav error.
Recommended it? No
