The size makes it easy to see and to program to the location you want to go to. Simply works like it is supposed to and would be hard to beat!

A factory power chord will not stay connected to the unit. I tried 2 new ones. This unit came with a chord which came with this unit plugs into the sub port and only charges the battery and only last than 20 min.

I purchased this GPS, because I needed a good size, monitor to use with a rearview backup camera, which I also bought on Ebay, for around $20.00. I was afraid the 7 inch screen would be too big, but that was not the case. A 3.5 or a 4.5 inch screen would have been too small. The 7 inch screen, was just perfect. This GPS has a AV input jack. It is very accurate as far as pin pointing your position. This is my first GPS, so I have nothing else to compare too. But, I am glad I chose this one. The turn by turn sound is clear and loud enough to hear. It has more features which I have not yet tried. Yet. Not only did I get a great monitor , but a GPS system ready to use when I need it. Excellent product.
Great for my father, senior with a RV and large 7 inch screen is easier for him to read. Fairly easy to use, i think he and my mother will easily navigate with the unit. BUT, i have owned tom toms and other gps units in the past and can say I MUCH prefer the menu system and way you navigate and use the menus on tom toms and garmins... perhaps it is personal preference or just what i am more used to... i will say that the lane assist and large screen really help when you approach large freeways/interstates in the really big US cities.... came in very handy! Purchased this unit for 140.00 off ebay and it was well worth the money for that price...it is rather large for a car or suv...but perfect for a RV or Trucker....hope this helps somebody....cheers.
GPS units are like cellphones. There are many different brands, models, features, and price points, and it can get really confusing choosing the right one. I have tried MANY of the major brands, and many models of each so my review of this unit is VS many different models and brands. Below are some reasons why I think this is the best GPS so far to date, and why I bought these for my mini-fleet. 1) ITS FREAKIN HUGE!!! I love the size!!! Some reviews stated it wobbles. Thats EASILY fixed. Lower it on the windshield till it's resting against the dash yet still stuck to the window. No more wobble. It works better there anyways! No, its not Too big. Its not too big for my service vans and its not too big for my personal minivan. Like the cliche... Size is everything! The screen is 7". I had a Tomtom XXL before this one, and it didn't seem any larger to me than the 4.5 I had prior to that. This thing looks like a mini-laptop on your windshield. People in the next vehicle over have actually pointed at the GPS! LOL More screen doesn't necessarily mean more detail, it mostly means bigger letters. 2) HUGE BUTTONS!!! The letters and numbers are HUGE!!! I LOVE IT!!! No more hitting the wrong button because you need a Stylus to touch the screen as I always felt with my 4.5" Garmins. I have big hands, and I hated trying to touch an H without hitting a G or J. The touchscreen keyboard is large. Again. Size is Everything. 3) LETTER ELIMINATION!!! Most of my searches are for residential homes. There is nothing more annoying than typing in a long street address only to have it search (Garmin) for 30 seconds then tell me the address doesn't exist. This simply can NOT happen with Magellan. Because as you type each letter, all letters that are not possible are removed. You still see them but they are darker and cannot be touched. So if you have a rural area INSIDE your city that no one seems to know why they have their own address, you can save yourself a lot of typing. If your searching for Jonesville Street Extension and you type JO and then the N is not lit, you know to check the city. No Jonessville Street Extension exists in that city. One-touch back and Try a neighboring community as the city! You just saved yourself a LOT of time & typing! 4) ROUTE OPTIONS Most people who own this model probably dont know this option exists, but before you hit the GO button you CAN (if you wish) hit ROUTE OPTIONS at the lower right screen, and immediately little bars start filling up. When they stop, hit MAP at the same bottom Right, and it shows a map overview of your route with up to 4 different ways to get there. (Most Highway, LEAST Highway, Fastest, and Shortest) choose the one best suited. Great if you know in advance of a traffic or road repair on a certain route. Also splendid if you drive commercial vehicles and wish to eliminate backroads. OR if your in a sports car and speed limits and curves mean nothing to you, choose the shortest route with back roads! 5) BASICS No fancy voices. (3 voices, 1 of each) No unnecessary nonsense. Just a huge GPS that will get you there. No GPS is 100% perfect, and this one is no exception but all things considered, its a heck of a lot better than the many I had prior. And unlike the annoying Tomtom, this one shows rural road names, not state roads numbers that no one recognizes or uses.Read full review
