Ellen
This was such a cute idea. My daughter is in love with Dale Jr. You can imagine her disappointment when it didn't recognize her address, nor the streets or addresses of many of the places in our area. It was frustrating and useless. In a phone call to the manufacturer we were informed that we could request certain streets, and they would "consider" adding them next year. We don't live in Podunk, Nowhere. We live in The Woodlands, just north of Houston, the fourth largest metroplex in the nation. You'd think their satellites would recognize this area. We returned it for a refund.

I bought these as Christmas presents, so hopefully they will work okay. The packaging looks brand new, in which they are brand new. I received them promptly in good packaging. So far I am very happy, and I'm sure when they are opened at Christmas, my husband & son will love them.

I bought this GPS over 4 months ago even though I did not need one since my phone all ready has GPS on it. I love this one. Traveling by plane and using my phone GPS is simpler but I take my SPOTTER GPS along. I enjoy hearing Dale Jr give directions. There are additional voices that give more detailed direction (name of streets). I have been watching the price for this GPS on [...] and [...] and the price on AMAZON is the best so far.
Just Wish I could listen to the race on it.

I must say I was excited to get this new GPS unit. However, I have been extremely disappointed with it. It seems to have some cool features, but on a regular basis it does not find addresses for me. The manufacturer doesn't have an update available. Their helpdesk suggested that I look up the address on Google Earth, then get the Latitude and Longitude coordinates, then input those into the GPS device for accurate directions. I say no thanks. I'll go back to using my Garmin.

Got this for my hubby who is a huge jr. fan. Drove from Louisiana to Branson with it. On the plus side, it was nice to hear Jr.'s voice. Specific probs: Had probs finding our location! Honestly, it didn't know where we were! On two occasions, it took us on a wild goose chase only to put us right back where we started from - so basically ran us in a circle for about 30 mins each time. Twice on the interstate, it was telling us to "hang a left here". In the middle of the interstate. Very frustrating. We own a TomTom but had loaned it to the kids as were traveling to separate destinations and we bought this one for us. Doesn't compare to Tom. We so wanted to like this product b/c it's a great concept, but it's going back!
