The screen is easy to see, the voice is clear and plesant, the directions are accurate, you can easily get all the points of interest as well as all the other many options, if I make a mistake, it rerouts me immediately. I could go on and on about this GPS but see for yourself. The more well known brands don't even come close to this! I tried Garman...it was the worst! They should stick to the boats! Anyway CoPilot is great. Several friends put me on to this GPS!!!!!.....and I don't work for the company, it's simply the best product out there.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[susie arcuni]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2008 10:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/30/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-gps-system-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/30/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-gps-system-5/</guid><description><![CDATA[First off these things are life savers mr. thomas smith, without it I never could travel out of my hometown and wasting time reading a map.  Second off some other goood things to look at is does the website offer free updates? also it seems silly but does it give you a good amount of time to know which lane to get into for the turn? Tomtom i noticed does, but on garmin you have to tap to know ahead of time whether its a left or right side action.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[thouck87]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2008 10:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/30/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-gps-system-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/30/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-gps-system-5/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here is one plus for gps on a cell phone.I can use it for a phone if I really get lost.Use it to find a motel or a eating place if hungry.Use it to find nearest gas station--or for senior citizen-quickest place for a rest room.Plus I can put in my destination---leave it plugged in to 12volt device and listen for this sweet voice telling me where to go all this for $10 bucks a month-or stop service when not traveling-start up again later--I have a LG vx835or--got me to Florida ,Alabama,Texas to Oregon,to IL-back to MO.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[richard mclaury]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2008 3:26AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
