Advantages: easy to use, small.

Disadvantages: battery life 2 hours, and no indicator on the display to show how much battery is left

We dont particularly go on long journeys but wanted a sat nav to get us to places we had never been before, to avoid reading maps in the dark of the car! We chose this one because of the brand and because it was at the price we wanted to pay for one. I find it easy to use, with very simple menus. We have noticed that its best to watch the screen and listen to the instructions if you can, as we have had incidents where the voice is telling us to "turn left" when on the map it clearly shows a right turn and we actually want to go right! So worth keeping an eye on it! but for the majority of the time we have used it its got us to where we want to go. Battery life they say is two hours, and you can run it off the cigarette charger in the car - but not for more than 2 hours. Not sure what you do if your journey is 6 hours!!

Summary: A simple sat nav for local (ish) journeys.
