About a year ago, did some research before buying a GPS. From its spec sheet, wow, 5" screen, bluetooth, text-to-speech! from Amazon.com Although I am usually an early adopter of new technology, for some reason I had never gotte around to getting a GPS system for my car. I finally received this Panasonic as a birthday present from my wife. from Amazon.com I should have thought twice but now is too late. I am stuck with this GPS unit. The only thing that is positive is the big screen, good resolution and viewable in most conditions. from Amazon.com This GPS from Panasonic features a large, bright LCD screen. It's also got a loud speaker and a very solid windshield mount. from Amazon.com I would have given 4 or 5 stars, but Panasonic doesn't offer any software support for this unit. The major complaints about this unit can be fixed with a couple of patches. from Amazon.com Like some others who bought this, I grew dissatisfied with my Garmin Nuvi which started to fall apart (through no fault of my own at all) after just one year. I bought this Panasonic a month ago and have used it in and around Boston as well as all over New York. Overall I'm happy with it, but there're some issues I want to point out. from Amazon.com Wow, the GPS market is surely getting crowded... I owned a Garmin Nuvi 350 which was a total piece of cr*p, as it randomly crashed all the time, plus it kept falling off the mount. from Amazon.com Pros: 5" screen, Lane assist, Clear instructions, Easy to enter address, Fast route calculation, 360 degree compass, Scenic route planning, in 3D mode can see from 0.5 mile to 2 mile ahead depending on upcoming turns on road. Cons: If select simulation mode - no shortcut to cancel simulation, poor voice recognition, poor POI database. from Amazon.com All I can say is, it works as a GPS supposed to and more. I entered my destination and made some purposely wrong turns, it would tell me to make u-turn or take other route to go back to the correct direction within 1-2 seconds. from Amazon.com The only thing in my opinion the Strada beats the others in is screen size. And to me, that little extra size is not worth it to pass on these other units. from Amazon.com
