good GPS systemSeptember 7, 2008 For the most part, we are satisfied with this unit. This is the first GPS system we have purchased. We used it recently to travel across the United States. No matter where we traveled from a large city to a small town in the middle of nowhere, the GPS unit was able to find where we were and give us directions. Loved the capability of finding stores and restaurants where we were.
Only complaint is that directions are given for "proper" highway numbers, where as street signs give the name of the street. For example, the GPS might say turn on US 150, but the street signs say Henderson Street.
Very satisfied and would recommend this product.
Great Product -- Wish I still had it.September 6, 2008 Bought it for my wife as a gift. Taught her how to use it...real easy. She left it attached to her windshield. Someone busted in the passenger window on her brand new car that night and took the unit. They knew what they were doing. Make sure you register and secure yours. GPS theft is a nice little business unit of the black market. I'm sure it showed up on e-bay soon after. Just thought you should know. Insurance didn't pay a dime for the unit. Really wish we still had it.
GarminSeptember 5, 2008 Works great. Improvements: More than one stop before final destination and could shut off new route calculations when I know my route is better.
great GPSSeptember 5, 2008 Product is all that I expected for the model and price range. Simple operation was very helpful at start up. Size makes it ideal for travelling and installing in other vehicles as well as fitting into computer case.
Federated States of Micronesia?September 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I could have gotten over the bulky antennae if it weren't for the fact that in many instances, it tells me to turn toward the Federated States of Micronesia (which are in Australia). I live in the DFW area, these are major streets and highways and having to look at the screen to see what it should really be saying was very unsafe. I returned it and will stick with my unsafe but free mapquest.

Sony DAV-IS10 Home Theater System $439.99 - $799.99 from 11 stores. User rating:0.0 out of 5.
The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
