Review: The review is very well laid out, easy to read and give's all the details needed. Should show mounting brackets for auto and marine use.

The GPS V sucks. Have endured endless frustration trying to adapt its serial port to laptop with USB to download maps and use as on the road GPS mapping. The screen is tiny, the menues are confusing.

All in all a great unit for the price! City Select with all region unlock code is included which makes the price even sweeter. I have found the unit to be a stellar performer, rugged and dependable. I also purchased the deluxe beanbag mount used for the Street Pilot series GPS which also works with the V. My only gripe(s) would be the screen can be hard to read in bright light, but that is easily remedied with a homemade "hood" made from card stock. Also downloading maps via a serial port can be time consuming; have another activity planned while waiting for the downloads to complete. I do enjoy the fact that it is equally at home on the dash or in my hand geocaching. I would have no problem recommending this unit to others; the price and feature combination can't be beat.

This is a great unit. Like other reviews have stated, its a little slow on the downloading of maps, but all in all this is a great unit. Nice option on the mobile to portable for geocaching. A+ unit!

Had this unit for several years, use it in the car, boat, bicycle, & motorcycle. Runs a long time on batteries, important on the bicycle. It has navigated me through cities and country very well. Doesn't always know the best route, but will get you there. Memory limits and route calculations reflect its age, but it sells for half of the $500 I paid when it was new.

Have had the unit for several years. Overall it is a great value for the money. Biggest complaint is too frequently the intersection information is incorrect and sometimes when you need it most it goes into the recalculation mode to correct itself and this takes several minutes, by this time you are well past the critical turn information. This may be more of a function of the mapping software than the unit itseld but I feel this is a significant issue because often when you most need it it is wrong or is recalculating and during this time you get no information. If the software was more accurate then this probably would not be an issue but the software is what it is and you don't have other choices.

What a great product. My wife bought mine for me for Christmas 2004. We used it to chart our route to Phoenix that Christmas. While we were in Las Vegas for New years on the way back, our dog got seriously ill (life threatening). The receptionist gave us the wrong directions to the vet's office, so we punched in the address and the GPS V actually guided us there. The vet performed emergency surgery and saved my dog's life. It's corny, but it's true!

I first borrowed one of these from my son-in-law in Calgary to do some geocaching and traveling around the city. It worked so well that when I got home I purchased one for myself.
