- 3.5" GPS Navigation System Fully loaded with USA Maps
- Package:GPS Navigator Color box
SGM PylesI have been trying to get a return label it does not fit my motorcycle handle bars. Am very disappointed and at this time will not shop amazon again until this is resolved.I was in the market for a inexpensive GPS that could be used on my motorcycle. The prices of other alternative GPS systems were far to expensive for what I wanted to spend. I never give reviews on products, but as there were some poor reviews I wanted to give my input.
Pros: Cheap, loads route guidance quick (comparing to Garmin), can be used while wearing motorcycle gloves, battery lasts two hours on a single charge, easy to install on motorcycle bar.
Cons: A little heavy, screen can be a tad difficult to make out in bright sunlight, no user manual.
Overall I am pleased with my purchase. I used it yesterday on a 120 mile ride using its own battery as a power source. The battery lasted a little over two hours before turing off (you have the ability to hook it up to the motorcycle if you need more time then that). In my opinion, it loaded maps quickly, and recalculated a new route when I missed turns. The bottom of the screen can be hard to read when in direct sunlight. This for me is a non issue as I have the turn guidance at the top of the screen. I found slightly angling the GPS down on the bars helpful for mitigating the glare of the sun. There is no user manual for the GPS but if you have any experience with another brand of GPS or a smart phone it wont be an issue.
