What's Hot

Large 4.3in display with auto light sensor, solid Destinator navigational software, Bluetooth handsfree calling

What's Not

Large and bulky, chunky window mount, no text-to-speech technology

The Final Word

The R600 is a solid, but not outstanding GPS unit. Its large display and simple user interface are positives, but the large, bulky size, combined with a lack of text-to-speech technology are downsides.
