Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just got mine, and went out to a Walmart for testing this out. So it takes a while to set up the compass. You have to go through a 3 step process to calibrate the device. Once there, you get to lock your position and go. I do like the fact that the device doesn't lose the location when it goes to sleep (like one would expect). At the same time, I was impressed with its accuracy. It's not really pin point accuracy. Don't get me wrong. It got me close enough to see my car but it was not pin point accurate. For instance, I wasn't able to get anything going in short distances.
The battery needs to be charged for 2 hours before the first use. Don't forget that! Do I think this device is useful? Absolutely. If you are going to a conference and want to go out for lunch and find your way back, it'll do the job. But if you park your car in a parking lot and hoping for pin point accuracy, you are asking too much. It would get you close enough but stops once you are in a few feet distance.
Update: 08/15/09 - the device has performed well a few times that I have taken it with me on the road. The key to having success with this gadget is letting it lock on the satellites. The battery life is decent too.
