Good, but it is a little expensive and not very heavy on features or upgradibility. Wish it had Cantonese Chinese on it too.
The user interface is excellent. I don't know if a booster antenna can help. The installation is nothing to it. Its problem is too many lost signals. It is frustrating that when you need it the most (e.g. making turns), it quits on you.
this is a great product for my dad who doesnt speak english. very easy to use.
Some other criticisms: 1) Turn in 200 ft is actually turn NOW.2) Not enough warning to get off when driving on the freeway unless you remember to look at the screen. It was disappointing that the Taiwanese is a direct translation of Mandarin Chinese, and word for word translations usually come out garbled. I bought this for my Taiwanese speaking parents and we just completed a 2 week road trip. 3) The GPS doesn't announce the street name. Some of the directions in Taiwanese were incomprehensible and in the end, my parents preferred the Mandarin version. However, the Mandarin voice is pleasant, clear, and very understandable. It just says to turn in X distance.4) it's hard for people to read screens if they wear bifocals or are far sighted. Pros:1) Really easy to use out of the box and the touch screen interface is nice.2) Useful when really lost3) Can find gas stations or restaurants close to current or final destination.
If you don't know how to find the way home, its really help. But if you want to find some places new, then you may not rely on this GPS. As the map of this model is not new. If you want to get the latest map, you need to buy online for $69.99.
