unit will not find some streets by street names it decides that I need to know the county road number. It also will just not find some roads that have been around for over 20 years. from Amazon.com Three of my previous ones (a TomTom One, a TomTom One XL and a Magellan Maestro) were stolen and the third was a Magellan Maestro that I thought was dead but repaired. Nonetheless, I bought this one because I didn't want to spend another $200 on yet another GPS. My favorite of my previous GPS' were the TomToms because of their user friendliness and their routing intelligence. The Magellans were just plain stupid and their user interfaces were klunky. from Amazon.com I enjoyed this GPS while it lasted. After 3 months of not-so-heavy use, it no longer picked up the satellites. I returned it to Sony and since they no longer have any left in stock (getting out of the GPS business?), they refunded my entire amount. from Amazon.com Sony Nav-U 44 is extremely reliable GPS. I've been using this GPS for past month. from Amazon.com I have purchased it as we have a second car after just moving to another state...boy i regret this purchase. In comparison to my Garmin 360 it's like night and day. this sony will guide you through 20 mp/h streets through one family houses neighborhood while there is a highway right next to it, and i'm talking miles of driving. we use it ONLY if it's absolutely necessary. from Amazon.com I bought this GPS thinking it was coming with a SUPER SUCTION CUP mount which would not require a dashboard adhesive disk in order to mount it on the dash. Wrong, unlike the description says, it came with regular windshield suction cup and adhesive disk. So, I'd have to mount it on my windshield and wipe the ring mark off before getting off my car to avoid jerks breaking my car's window to steal gps. from Amazon.com Pros: Text to Speech, Split Screen at intersections, Accuracy.... SONY Cons: None so far from Amazon.com The Sony NVU44 is excellent. It is accurate and easy to use. from Amazon.com I just bought this as my first gps and tried it immediately; I've noticed its solid construction and neat design, it was very accurate and easy to use. However, I had little difficulty downloading its firmware, but the tech at sony was very helpful and we did upgrade its software in just 15 minutes! from Amazon.com This is Sony's frugal attempt to enter GPS market. It's nice unit if it can find place that you want to go to.. from Amazon.com
