I like the split screen when needed and also the directions usually are good. I also like that I can choose to have a lower volume for directions and volume turned up for the phone, although I wish the phone volume was louder. I have a hard time hearing/understanding. One other thing that would be nice is to have it learn my speech pattern. Frustrating when I ask Voice Command to find a place over & over and it doesn't understand me.

It would be nicer if the camera showed vehicle speed on the camera setting. It did not come with an instruction manual ( for us old timers ). It jammed on me, once, and I had a bit of trouble getting the device to start recording again, but it eventually freed itself up. If it feels that you are too close to the right side of your lane, it makes a noise. When it does this, I look at the passenger door rear view mirror and see no cause for alarm. The Voice Command does not even understand my own home address, even after many repeated attempts. It does have a 'crosshairs ' on the camera, so that you can make sure that your camera is ' on target '.

Came across this as certified refurbished for $65 shipped and had to get it. It now replaces a cheap dash cam I was using and also no longer have to use my phone for navigation. The best feature I'm constantly using is how it accurately shows the posted speed limits with my speed right below it, it shows red if going over the limit. This really comes in handy on the long backroads winding through towns where the speed limits are constantly changing and cops like to sit and wait. I can't think of a time it was wrong. Typing in addresses is sometimes annoying, just not as easy as on my phones app, but it always ends up working. Voice input is another story, it hardly works for me so I give up, maybe it's my Boston accent. It has crashed on me a few times, screen freezes so I end up just holding down the power button for a couple seconds and it restarts fine. Collison warnings go off when there's nothing in front, but only once in awhile and it's not annoying. Camera and video quality seems good, large field of view to show incoming lanes and sidewalks. To use the traffic feature I bought the gtm traffic cord, used, and it works pretty well showing delays and construction. Guess it depends on the area and whoever broadcasts the traffic. It gives warnings once in awhile about animal crossings, lower speed limits, I think railroads, and one time about a speed trap that wasn't there. Animal crossings and stuff like that are always right, not sure they show every one of them though, I don't really pay attention. Main thing I don't like is the suction mount will fall off if the cars parked for awhile facing into the sun, always worried about breaking the unit. Maybe I should look into a better mount. For me I got it for nav and dash cam, all the other features are just a bonus, and the speed indication is awesome and has def saved me a ticket or two so far.Read full review

I wanted to upgrade from my Garmin Nüvi to a GPS with a dash camera. This one fits the bill. The dash cam video is very good. The unit has several features that make the upgrade worthwhile. It is handy do know when a speed limit change is coming up or a school zone. As to the animal crossing warnings on I-17 between Prescott Valley and Phoenix, I don't know. The "Go" alert when stopped traffic is interesting; who doesn't keep their eyes open to see if for themselves. The collision and lane departure warnings are ones I would never, ever depend on. I keep my eyes on the road and traffic. The lane departure warning only works some of the time. In a 190-mile round trip, I never got it to "see" the dashed center line or the dashed lines of a four-lane interstate on either side of the car. The red light camera data are outdated. It warns of local cameras that were removed a couple of years ago. However, the unit meets all my needs and provides some features I will certainly be happy with. It is, I believe, an excellent value for the $178.99 (new) I paid for it. The screen has a sharp resolution and reacts to touches better than my former Nüvi. I think I will be very happy with it.Read full review

I already had one like this previously - except it didn't have the dash camera and proximity warning . I really like those features . It switches from an animated view to the actual camera right before you get to destination - which is nice as well. I guess anything with electronics really makes leaps and bounds within a very short time and I was long overdue for the upgrade.
