Customer Reviews

Takes WAY too long to pick up signal
The unit is overall OK, but it takes a very long time every time you turn it on to pick up a signal and you can miss important turns. I suggest another brand!

Junk!
This GPS is complete junk. Mine had repeated software problems after just 4 months of use. I had to reload the maps twice and it finally crashed for good. Customer service was no help - telling me to reload the maps both times only masked the issues. It's cheap, overpriced junk. Mine ended up crashing totally and is unusable. '''''For $260 i expected better and I suspect the company knows it's pedalling chinese junk at western-made prices because they stopped returning my e-mails after I told them it broke again. Don't buy it unless you like $260 paper weights. Junk Junk Junk Junk Junk.

Whistler unit is a must have unit!!!
I have had this unit for several months but did not really put it to maximum use until this past week. For a two thousand mile, eight city trip, it worked flawlessly. I did learn I need to put in my preferences. After that I was one happy traveler. Pulling into a north Chicago suburb late at night without a room reservation, I tried the points of interest feature for the first time. I selected a motel, it took me straight there without having drive forever looking or reading a map at night. This unit more than paid for itself on this one trip. Another feature I liked was pulling off the road and driving into a town I was not familiar with. After looking around for a while, I switched the unit back on, it replotted my route and got me out of town and on my way in no time. I am buying a unit for my wife and one for my daughter. These are no longer toys but a have to have for safety and convenience.

Constant lock ups
I bought this unit as a Christmas present and it has proved to be a four month headache.

The unit constantly locks up while driving. I've returned this once and the new unit does it just as much. And it rides in a fairly new Cadillac so its not like there is much jarring.

Now the mounting bracket is broke.

Save your money, buy another product.

Excellent
Perfect, the screen is wide enough for me to read ( I like to read and listen) not small like one of the Garmin GPS, I received it a few days ago, set up was easy as 1-2-3 no comp. downloads, it was ready to go. I hooked it up and arrived at my location perfectly. I did not use the remote because I was driving alone, but I am sure it is a useful addition. GO WHISTLER
