2.0 out of 5 stars No text to speech, out of date maps and bad routing., April 2, 2007

By

This review is from: Uniden GPS-352 MapTrax 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

The GPS352 does not support text to speech. It will not call out the street names of the turns or exits. It only calls out the distance and the direction of the turn.

The maps are out of date. Roads that have been in my subdivision for 3 years are not on the map. As well as well known grocery stores. I would not trust this unit in unfamiliar areas. Of course that is the only reason to buy a gps unit...

The routing determined by the unit is very poor. It directs me to take local 2 lane roads the cross several railroad tracks (which are always busy) instead of the main 4 lane road which leads straight to the main highway. The unit ignores the fastest route and prefer highway selections.

The unit also replaces saved routes which are painstakingly created to avoid certain roads with the original calculated routes.

The windshield mount allows the unit to vibrate and shake making it difficult to read. When not shaking, the display is good.

This review is from: Uniden GPS-352 MapTrax 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

This is email I received after asking about updating MapTraxx SD card. Sounds like present GPS352 units are out-of-date and will never up-to-date.

Uniden America Corp. has a development team focused on bringing new, innovative GPS products to the market. Recently we began developing software internally and plan to provide our own map updates for future GPS products. The GPS product you have does not have any map updates available and there are no scheduled updates for the future on that particular model. Uniden GPS units with updated maps are targeted to be available to consumers in 2009.

The item itself is very nice and helpful tool, however for a young person of 75 years, it is more than I need. I liked the product, but not who I purchased it from, as they would not allow me to return it because I found that it was too complicated for me when I opened the packaging.
