I bought this as a gift for my husbund and so far he is very happy with it.

I recently moved from Chicago to a small town 125 miles away. I was having a terrible time finding my way around out here. This device has made my life much easier. I’m no longer worried about getting lost or having to take the long way because it is simpler. Before I ever used it I had my son-in-law try it beside his Tom Tom his comment was that he “liked it better than Tom Tom”. Considering that I paid less for this than a reconditioned Tom Tom I feel it was money well spent.

This was a wonderful purchase-it is everything I wanted in a GPS. Very easy to use even for a female. The price was great. Love it and would recommend for all.

I bought two units in Dec 2007 and have been using one for over a year now. These are the issues I have had:
1. The charger on one unit quit working. The mini USB port on the GPS has shorted out not allowing the unit to charge anymore so this GPS is useless.
2. On the second unit satellite acquisition takes FOREVER and only when you are sitting still. Rarely acquires when you’re moving. This is a major flaw in my opinion.
3. Navigate goes into calc mode and never comes out so now no route calculation.
4. Volume is all the on or off. No adjustment in between.
5. No fixes I can find on the above mentioned problems. The Pharos web site uses the phrase “This is not a known issue with the Pharos Drive 150″ a lot when asked about problems.
While the price is good, I would not recommend the Pharos unit.
