Most Favorable Review

Very nice

GARMIN 5.0" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Map Updates
GARMIN 5.0" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Map Updates

Pros: Just got it and love it. It's a larger display than my older Garmin, but it works just the same. The mounting bracket seems very nice is the suction mount holds up.

Cons: none

Overall Review: For the people that don't like it: It's a handheld device that gives directions, it's not a computer that always get the optimum route based on your personal criteria. Your expectations may be too high if you haven't used a Garmin gps before.

Most Critical Review

Low 12V

Pros: Nice finish. Works for now.

Cons: I've had it installed for a 2 days and just now checked the voltages. I'm shocked, it only 10.56 volts on the 12 volt rail. I guess it's typical Chinese.

Poor Company

MSI Z97-Gaming 7 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: None

Cons: They won't even give you the error codes for your motherboard. Avoid this company.

Best there is

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2
TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2

Pros: Still working after 3 years. This is the best one I've ever used. Tried to replace it with the 822 but nothing is as reliable.

Cons: Not one that I can think of.

Overall Review: Used the install disk. I don't think I ever upgraded the firmware. Used with Windows 7 and att uverse 2-wire modem/router.

Poor support

Pros: shinny tablet. well I was forced to enter a "Pro"

Cons: It's very difficult to find information on this tablet and you can't delete the bloatware. Samsung support finally acknowledged this.

Overall Review: It's going back, Samsung can eat it!
