4 out of 5 eggsBuy me

Pros: This is my first GPS and I am very happy with this unit. Bright and clear in bright sunlight easy to read icons, go to the "garage" and download your own ride. Very spooky on how accurate the speed limit signs "change" when you go past one. The price was a real plus in my choice, plus I got free shipping and a carrying case! Haven't played with the MSN to much yet , but it is really amazing! Thanks New Egg!

Cons: Wife thinks I spend to much time watching the GPS and not the road.

Other Thoughts: How did we ever get from point a to point b without one of these things!

4 out of 5 eggs285 WT

Pros: Bluetooth, MSN Direct is awesome, Traffic updates very precise,

Cons: Voice is a little low. I've started to deal with freezes after a few days, but nothing enormous, there is no way to see total distance until destination, just an arrival time which is inevitably early (I'd have to drive 15mph over the speed limit the entire way to get there on time, so I figure it doesn't add in lights). MSN trial is only 3 months according to the yellow tag on the vehicle charger.

Other Thoughts: I originally purchased the 265WT recertified from newegg for a dollar less than this unit, and this unit is notably better in terms of reliability (the 265wt wouldn't turn on and off after a couple days) and it includes 9?? 3 months of MSN direct which is awesome. Honestly, I do see a lot of room for improvement on this unit, but it's closer to perfect than any other unit I've seen in stores and online. Also the price is right

3 out of 5 eggsGood Nav except for a couple bugs.

Pros: Has a lot of neat features such as Bluetooth, Eco-route, Fuel Prices, Fuel estimates, Live Traffic,

Cons: Unit seems to reboot randomly which seems to be a common problem, that seams to happen more when going through trees, so maybe it has to do with low signal. This unit also says "Connection to Phone Failed" when it connects to phone via bluetooth.
