iWay GPS MP3 Player Combo 500C
Cons:
Some delay when you turn the unit on.
I went shopping for a GPS in January. While this unit was not rated yet I decided to try it out for the features. IT IS AMAZING, to say the least. A ton of features and you can customize most of them.
A generous 20GB Hard drive to start with. 10GB dedicated to maps and POI (Points Of Interest) and another 10GB for MP3s. Mounting the unit is a breeze (all mounting options are included) I recommend you download the upgrade from the Lowrance’s website.
I took it for a test in FL, OH, and recently from NJ to Ca and back and this unit performed like a champ.
Here are some Nifty features that they don’t tell you about:
1) 3 display settings for best viewing during the different times of the day.
2) Customizable on screen options (you can choose to display time of arrival, speed, current local date and time, etc…) and much much more. The 5″ screen allows for that.
3) The on screen keyboard makes life a lot simpler for putting in an address. A lot simpler than other models I have seen in friends’ cars
4) The 3D display (when you download the upgrade release 12/28/04 Version 1.3.0) makes it easier to navigate with.
5) Re-routing is GREAT when you choose not to follow the directions.
But, here are some (not so great)
1) every once in a blue moon, the voice doesn’t match the instructions on the screen
2) I would love to have a multi-destination option where I can put more than one destination and it would map a best option route.
3) I would love to have an option to bypass a certain road on the direction list.
ý4) In most cases when you turn the unit on, it takes less than a minute to find current location. In rare cases it may take more than that (weather sometimes affects it)
Aside from these 4 points, its a GREAT buy. Bottom line is, I definitely RECOMMEND
