5.0 out of 5 stars Best GPS I have owned at any price, February 3, 2008

This review is from: GPS Navigation For Dummies FD-350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I was a little dubious when I ordered this product as it is relatively inexpensive. The fact that this is a new product line for the Dummies people made me hesitant as well. However, I have been very happy with the unit in the two weeks I have had it.

Pros:

1. It gets a satellite fix very quickly, unlike my previous GPS devices,
which could take up to 10 minutes.
2. Very lightweight.
3. It shows road features such as medians and one way streets.
4. It speaks the street name for your upcoming turn (aka text to speech); the lack of this feature is probably the most significant drawback with inexpensive GPS units.
5. Technical support was prompt and courteous in response to my questions.

Cons:
1. No wall plug; it only comes with an auto charger.
2. Occasional map database errors.

I'm confused over all the bad reviews - my GPS works great...even when I'm driving in Boston, where GPS's are known to lose their signals repeatedly, I haven't had a problem. Good product as far as I know and I've been using it for about a year now!

I also purchased this unit on HSN. Since it was a gift for my son, I wanted to make sure that it was truly user friendly. Well, it is. You don't have to go to a manual for directions in order to figure out how to use it. Great Product!
