I bought one of these and was very disapointed. The system has many bugs and menu navigation is not easy.
The system locks or runs slow from time to time requiring reset.
GPS lock in can be several minutes.
The vocal commands can be inconsistent from the map
Basic functioanility is missing. E.g north direction when in navigation mode, deleting a route that is finished etc.
