"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
cheap price, works well initially
What I don't like:
Cant save or edit Points of Interest. Wireless bluetooth is cumbersome to use
Review:
I bought one at christmas but when I saved some favourite locations the voice stopped working. I returned it to the shops and got a replacement.
It worked perfectly straight out of the box but ...
then I saved a few locations in the favourites and now the voice has stopped working again.
Also cant seem to find any way of saving or modifying POI's even though the Help file explains how-to, in 3 simple steps ..
1- In main menu tap POI
2- Choose Maintain POI
3- Choose add as POI
The only POI I can find is in the navigate to and the Search options and neither have a Maintain POI option
I also purchased the optional Bluetooth car cradle but wish I hadn't.
each time you turn off the car ignition or remove the unit from the cradle You have to manually reconnect the unit to the Phone.
