Strengths: It's really easy to use. It has lots of features including the Smart Navigator real-time traffic service which is perfect to use in big cities.
Weakness: The low price made me a little unsure about the performance before I bought it, but now that I've tried and added on the Bluetooth, I absolutely love it.
I really like the convertible design of the GPS. I originally bought the version with a cable that is powered by the cigarette lighter, but then I added the Bluetooth adapter for when I need a portable GPS. The receiver picks up satelittes almost instantaneously, so I don't have to sit and wait for it to acquire a signal. It's definitely a handy tool for anyone on the road. I'd highly recommend...

Strengths: Works fantastic even in rural areas. Accurate and a pleasure to utilize.
Weakness: Maps are large files...but i'm using a SD card and load them all to that area with no problems at all.
I've had this product for 4 days and can definitely say that I am thrilled with my purchase. The gps is even better than expected and works great with my IPAQ 2215. I live in a rural area and it even tells me when to make a turn going out of my own driveway. A wonderful gadget. I just wish I had purchased it sooner. I can wait to use it this weekend for a trip out of state.
