Rightway RW355 GPS Navigator

Comments about Rightway RW355 GPS Navigator:

This was a fair buy, purchased on special. [...] I use it for traveling to musical gigs, for family trips, or going to any new location. I expect to make use of the detour feature as well (for use in case of traffic jams etc). It locks onto satellites faster than my old GPS (Magellan Roadmate 700) and does the job well, also the compact size and lack of moving parts (no tiny hard drive) is a great improvement. So far it's been reliable.It has certain drawbacks, however: 1. Screen visibility is terrible in daylight. The claim of non-glare screen is bogus. (The Magellan was much better). Some kind of glare hood is needed, which I'll probably make.2. The synthesized voices that supply street names are muddy-sounding and incomprehensible at times over road-noise. The other voices (which give directions but no street names) are quite clear, however. The UK accents are very pleasant.3. I haven't tried the included mp3 player yet. It's not clear whether one can watch the maps and have music at the same time, which would be nice, but it doesn't seem so from the manual.4. The plastic suction cup gets stiff and will not adhere to the window or dash mount when it is cold. One needs an alternate mounting system in the colder climes, or to wait until the car is warmed up.

I travel a lot and this GPS comes in real handy. It's compact and easy to carry around. I found that the route it plotted is what I would choose most of the time. It also has built-in video player, and mp3 player which comes in handy while you waiting around.
