"This is the first GPS unit I've ever purchased, and I only purchased it because I received a Radio Shack gift card and the unit was on sale. Upon initial use, it kept powering off while in use. I then discovered that the DC car adapter was intermittent and needed to be replaced. So long as this unit has power or is fully charged it seems to work fairly well and is accurate. Upon first powering up the unit it sometimes takes quite a while to acquire a satellite signal.

I really like the idea that if I veer off course either accidentally or intentionally while driving, it will recalculate the route and start giving you new directions from where you are to your destination. Be sure that unit is fully charged prior to using this in your car. If you are driving at high speeds and your windows are open, you will not be able to hear the voice commands. Overall I am pleased with the performance of this entry level product."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
