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!

This is a great little GPS for the money. It gets you where you need to go and it is so affordable compared to others. Nice screen and features. Good value, good service

It works fine as a GPS, but you get what you pay for. It does have terrible sound and hardly holds a charge. Most GPS units (Tom Tom, Garmin, and Magellan) use a mini USB connector to charge, which is what most cell phones and other portable devices, this does not. I was on a trip where I forgot my car adapter and there was absolutely no way to get a replacement unless the company shipped me one (would have cost a lot), with any other brand you could just go to Target. The maps are also not updated; they don't even have major roads like East Ohio St. in Chicago.

The only "con" is the voice can be difficult to understand if you are going fast and there is a lot of "car noise"
Overall, a great navigator!!

Q
I bought this device for my girlfriend. Although it said it came charged, it was only marginally charged, and also it did not come with the CD that it stated was included. I have not yet requested this but don't think it will be an issue to obtain it. Plus, the unit's priinted documentation was good(a pleasant surprise) and it was easy to understand how to operate it.

My major complaints is that based on the two times we have tried to use it, once successfully and once unsuccessfully, it does not function well in chilly temperatures in that the touch screen is slow to respond or inaccurate. More importantly, the car charger does not work to charge the machine. The red light on the charger illuminates, as does one blue light on the machine, but the charge status stays at "drained". Since there is no other way to charge this unit other than the car adaptor, this is a big problem.

Again, this review is posted based on few experiences but until the charging issue is solved there aren't going to be more opportunities to use this for more than a paperweight. The one successful time we used the GPS it worked fine.

I'll modify this review if response from Rightway provides helpful input.
