  • Pros
    Speed warnings
  • Cons
    Speed limits hopeless in some areas.

Have tried many GPS'. This one iloolked good on paper looked good on paper. The speed limit one one stretch of road through Dingle Vic is 60 and then changes to 79. IGO 50 shows it as 50. I have written to Navimaps and have absolutely no response from them yet.
Voice command instructions are way behind the manover

  • Pros
    touring
  • Cons
    driving in traffic

I have had this unit (branded as a "Go Cruise") for 12 months and use it almost every day. The only two problems I have encountered are firstly that it has "locked up" three times needing a reboot and secondly that the posted speed limits are often wrong. I like the route planning/save feature and have stored dozens of future routes and also trip logs. The fuel consumption feature is great too. I use it mainly on my motorcycle and find that it has not been bothered by the vibration at all in over 6000km. I would definitely buy it again, hopefully with included map updates. I also have a Tom Tom but never use it now.

  • Pros
    It switches on
  • Cons
    It won't interface to any computer

I want to update the maps as the other day the iGO50 told me to turn the wrong way down a one way in Sydney. The map updater program is not supported on the MacBook. I then tried it on XP, it doesn't recognize the device. I later tried it on Windows 7 with the same result. The updating application simply tells me there's no device attached. I cannot find any drivers on the Internet and the uniden.com.au website is particularly useless. There are only two drivers listed, for the 301 and 501 devices. Nothing else!! The only reason I am giving it one star is that is does switch on
