Hello,

I was very excited when I get the product because the product’s promises. MP3, MP4 player, Bluetooth, etc.

None of those applications works like I expect. The music and video player has a mono sound and the navigation is poor. No mention the BlueTooth that never work with my Motorola device. I think only recognize Nokia products.

But that is not the worst part. I went to Newark airport with another GPS, from Queens. 41 minutes, excellent!.

I planned the return with the Nokia… 2 hours 3minutes…. it takes me to Bronx, Brooklyn downtown, then, a lot of places I never seen before. So I soon I recognize a road, I turned off and use my memory only.

THis is a bad product.

I just received this GPS for a week and I should say that I love it. You cant find any GPS that have Blutooth, Fm transition and accurate map, for this price (comparing to Garmin or TomTom which start from $250). It has a nice and big LCD which has a very vivid picture.

The seller didn’t send the memory card to me(which has the map). But I found out the CD guide has all the maps( North America,Europe, South America, Asia). so I easily installed the map into my own SD card.

Putting address in this GPS wasn’t hard for me at all. if you have a simple knowledge of using electronic device, you can take care of it easy.

Best choice for people who wants to have good GPS in reasonable Price.Plus, remember that you are buying a Brand new GPS not a refurbished one.

Purchased from eBay for 99.00. Can’t be all that bad I thought. Well I was surprised to find such a useful GPS for less than 100.00. Has done everything I have asked it, bluetooth is excellent with both phones I use. The directions have been spot on. Haven’t used the MP3 or video yet but probably won’t. My iPod is just fine for those purposes. The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that it is Windows only, so I have to take it in to work to upload neew routes. No biggie though.

I purchased this GSP 2 weeks before and started using it right from day one. Faced following issues:

- Entering address – made it too complicated. On GPS 90% of time user enter/find addresses and Nokia made is that screen itself complicated.

- It has multimedia features. FM transmitter doesn’t work well (at least in my 2 cars). Has noise and not able to hear proper music / road instructions. Secondly you can watch movies once you reach to destination – but u can’t charge it in room. Only way u can do it with computer USB cable. If I have computer with me – why I will watch movie on this 4.3″ screen.

- Maps are on ONLY SD card i.e. this device doesn’t store maps on its local hard disk. So 2GB SD card which comes with device is not sufficient for music/photos/movies and maps. When u take photos on your camera’s SD card – u will have to copy them on the GPS SD card so that you can get navigation map and your photos. Boss – r u really going to use your computer to copy photos to this GPS SD card while you are on trip? Same point – if u have computer – why will I watch photo on this 4.3″. (Same goes for music files). It’s only good if u get high capacity SD card and dump – movies/photos/music all at once and don’t change it for long time. But I don’t think someone do that

- When I try to enter my street address – it doesn’t find it – but I can see my street name on map (when I zoom it and navigate manually). Dam – u r lucky to know there is problem in finding your address though it is there on the map – but now I don’t know how many such faulty cases are there with outdated map software. I can understand that it is not on map and will not able to find on search screen b’cos of old map software – but this not the case here.

- Base line – it has so many features – but can’t use them efficiently. And that remains with only GPS – why will I buy this with out-dated maps. Lot of better devices are there if I only have to get basic navigation.

Giving 2 stars just b’cos Nokia might have realize these issues and that’s why kept so low price to flush their product.
