Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Worthless Comment: You can NOT update the maps on this! The maps were almost a year and half old out of the box. Unfortunately I'm going to have to eat the restocking fee + shipping sending this thing back. :( Customer Rating: Summary: Found it helpful most of the time Comment: I found the GPS helpful but did not always like the way it plotted out a trip and found it difficult to get it to reroute with an alternate route. The way I worked it out was to drive the route I preferred until it recalculate a new route. But only after numerous attempts by the GPS in having me turn back and follow its 1st route selection. It was great when I was driving at night in areas with no steet lighting and on unfamiliar roads. Customer Rating: Summary: Great feature set and price, bad UI Comment: PROS: plays video's and music. Great price. Fast GPS satelite acquisition time, lot's of options to adjust. BAD: Difficult to use UI. No map updates from Jensen. Overall: For the price of $150 bucks this unit offers what similar priced offering from Tomtom or garmin simply do not have. Media playback and bluetooth is a nice plus. TTS does work despite some online comments (but you have to select it in advanced options; it's not the default). The map is easy and can be manipulated with the stylus very easily. This unit is great for the thrifty/tech savvy buyer. There are some difficulties to overcome however. First, it is difficult to figure out how to save addresses (you have to select it in map mode, then add it as a POI). Also, the buttons are typically smaller than what is on my Garmin so it's somewhat more difficult to make selections while on the road and driving. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Unit for the Price Comment: I purchased the unit and I love it. I would recommend previous buyers to look at the latest software and maybe upgrade because my experience was delightful. To put this into context this unit uses the same software as the Mio brand. I live in the Atlanta Metro area and I use it to help me get around the city. While using it I learned new roads that I didn't know existed which increased the quality of my commute. I paired my unit with a T-Mobile Dash and switched back and forth between my phone and the GPS unit with no ill effects. The 4.3" screen is large enough without being overbearing. I connected it to the windshield using the suction cup connector which feels sturdy and sure. Driving around Atlanta, I selected the female voice which can be heard over the radio and road noise even on a medium setting. If could ask for one feature it would be for support for real-time traffic, but the bypass feature works fine if I'm stuck in traffic which provides me with alternative routes. I plan to get one for my mother-in-law who just relocated to Atlanta after living in New York City for over 35 years because it is simple to use. My sister purchased a Garmin unit (I don't remember the model but the price was $259 on sale) and she mentioned that it didn't have Bluetooth. For me the price of $148 is the sweet spot for GPS units. This one works great and delivers on it's promises. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the most disappointing items I have EVER purchased Comment: DO NOT BUY THIS! IM WARNING YOU!! I bought one of these a few weeks ago from 6th Ave onsale for $148 and thought I was getting a great deal. I was wrong! I woulddnt pay $50 for this crap. The directions this thing gives are horrible. I tested it by putting in my home address from places I already knew how to get home from. The result was horrible! This peice of crap consitently tried to make me drive 20 - 30 minutes out of my way to get to my destination! On a major highway where my citys exit is a straight shot down it tried to make me exit at everystop! On one instant it guided me off the highway just to guide me through city streets and then back on the SAME highway it had just guided me off!! This thing is horrible. I used to own a car with navigation built in, so I know nav systems do work in my area. THis one is trash, I wish I could make a complaint to customer service but THEY DONT ANSWER!!! I cant even return because 6th avenue says all sales are final! ALl I can do is warn my fellow consumers - dont buy this!! Get a Garmin. I used one of those in a rental and it works great More Reviews
