Good GPS solution
By TBVerified Purchaser from Westchester County, NY on 4/26/2007
Pros:
Accurate Maps, Reliable
Cons:
Difficult To Install, Limited Spoken Directions
Best Uses:
Highway Driving, Rural Driving
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The installation guide is pretty much useless. I had to play around with my bluetooth settings for a while before it worked properly. When I first started the software it was not showing any maps and could not find my location. For some reason it started with the assumption that I was on 0 degrees longitude and 0 degrees latitude (somewhere in Africa I guess). It obviously did not have the map for it and could not find the appropriate satellites. Once the problem was identified and corrected, it worked fine. Too bad it does not say the street name in the spoken directions. It can be very confusing to know which of the numerous street to turn to when the only thing you know is that it's in 0.1 miles.

 
Great product but could be better.
By Capt, KenVerified Purchaser from Florida Keys on 2/9/2007
Pros:
Compact, Durable, Good Value, High Quality, Intuitive software
Cons:
Cannot transfer routes, No AC charger
Best Uses:
Car trips, Limited marine use
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Routes created on the desktop software cannot be transferred to the GPS10. This is a minor inconvenience.
