Yes, easy to set up but with a lot of faults. Keeps turning itself off in the car; takes ages to charge at home on the mains, then says the power''s low and now the plastic back for mounting on the charger has fallen off and is lost!
Pros:
European maps look of it
Cons:
Almost everything about it, alas

I bought this satnav because of all the extra''s and the maps abroad. Well the thing takes forever to find the satalites took me down 1 way streets the wrong way decided half way through a journey to update itself and tell me i''m now going the wrong way and then the speaker wont work. I phoned goodmans up about this i sent the satnav back to them for a look they said nothing wrong sent it me back i turned it on and for some reason it kept saying all the maps have been erased i will never buy anything from goodmans again i have learnt my lesson.
Pros:
none
Cons:
The whole thing is a bad design

ever since i got this sat nav i have had nothing but trouble with it. it started off with it not keeping charge. i had to keep it plugged in, in the car. then one day decided to turn itself off, as i was travelling a 350 mile trip, and wouldn''''t turn back on for about a month, i finally got it to turn on, but then would not pick up any signal at all. iam so dissapointed with this product. never ever ever would i buy another one. the thing is because its about 6 months over the warrenty, iam now stuck with a worthless sat nav.

Design Faults - avoid

It is true that this Sat Nav is low-cost and is supplied with many items that other Sat Nav manufacturers consider to be extras (such as a mains adapter and maps of Western Europe, and when it works, it works well enough (tried to send me the wrong way down one-way streets on a couple of occasions!) However, I''ve now tried 2 of these units (purchased from e-buyer, UK). Both units have had problems when running from the car power adapter. The defect manifests itself in two ways: 1. Failure to detect that an external supply is connected (the unit then runs on its internal battery for an hour or so, then turns itself off with no warning - very handy!), or 2. The Sat Nav starts a journey running from the external supply but at some point on the journey decides that its internal battery is now fully charged and stops using the external supply (then behaves as 1.) The upshot of this is that you must keep an eye on the battery charge status symbol on the Sat Nav, and if it changes to internal battery mode, then cycle the power to "standby" then back to "on". Personally, I consider this to be an inconvenience I''m not prepared to live with. The windscreen-mounting accessory also disintegrated (assembly was poorly glued together) during ordinary use on holiday last week. This latest one is going back to e-buyer ASAP. I''ll be buying a different brand.
Pros:
Supplied with European maps and mains adapter
Cons:
Production engineering Battery charge/power management

Excellent, easy to set up - takes address and partial post code, clear and concise instructions on set-up and also when driving. Good variable display and picks up satellites quickle when started.
Pros:
Easy to use - takes a little practice but then simple
Cons:
Don't know yet - will wait and see on battery life
