Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great product especially since we moved to a new area Comment: Having moved to a new state, I especially appreciated this product which allows me to get around as if I had lived here for years. Customer Rating: Summary: it's just okay Comment: The Garmin is great if you live in a city, but for people like me who live in rural places or do lots of traveling in rural communities - it stinks! I have even called Garmin for them to tell me, "sorry, that address does not exist in our database." Customer Rating: Summary: Great GPS for the value Comment: I've never used a GPS prior to this purchase and I bought this for a road trip to San Diego. I chose this GPS because it is the least expensive one that has Text-to-speech (TTS) feature and also wide screen. TTS is extremely helpful when driving in a city. You can confirm your left or right turns by checking out the street name prior to turning. My aunt has a GPS without TTS, and "Right turn in 200 Feet" doesn't really help relieve the stress of driving in an unknown environment. I truly felt confident and relaxed when driving with this GPS.
Pros:
- TTS
- Quick in acquiring satellite signal
- Widescreen
- Lots of POI
- User-friendly
Cons:
- May sometimes give you a longer route instead of the shortest / fastest one
- Only some fancy features
Summary:
This GPS is great value and it is very easy to use. If you are new to GPS and tight on the budget, give this one a try. Customer Rating: Summary: GPS Comment: Every time I use this GPS unit, I marvel how good it is. The map history is unbelievable how accurate it is on recently named streets. The data base is really up to date. With this on your dash/windshield,(Suction cup mount) and no external antenna (it's built in) it takes up very little space and does not interfere with driving or vision. When driving to a new address, I can't wait to use it and preloading in your favorites which is really easy, you can just touch the screen to start going, really easy. Remember, the GPS always knows where you are, you just tell it where you want to go! If you make a wrong turn, it immediately recalculates and you're on your way again. After you get this, I bet you will wonder, why did I wait so long! Besides the female voice never gets mad if you make a wrong turn! Customer Rating: Summary: GPS Comment: I bought it for my boss who never figured it out so it's sitting in a box in his office.
