First off, speed sensor doesn't seem to be very accurate (going to check with installation shop to make sure it was installed correctly). While travelling down some roads, the unit gets lost. It is supposed to stay on the road when some GPS inaccuracies occur. Secondly, in smaller rual areas, the navigation fails to even guide you down the same road you are on. from Crutchfield.com First the other review (3/22) lists problems that are indictive of an improperly connected Vehicle Speed Sensor wire. I don't have the same problems. I'll also like to mention that I've had the previous generation Alpine NVE-N851A and the NVE-N852A navigation systems and still posses the 852. Those units were flawless. from Crutchfield.com The previous two reviews are indicative of 1) Improper installation of hardware, most likely by non-professionals and 2) Improper use of software. I can tell you with absolute assurance, I paid full price for this unit and I paid full price to have it correctly installed, and it is flawless. I have used many other mobile GPS units (Garmin and Pioneer, namely) and this Alpine unit is the cream of the crop. If you go on long road trips, this thing is worth its weight in platinum. from Crutchfield.com When it knows the streets in smaller rural areas, it'll navigate you there. But sometimes even when the street is on the map, it will not be able to guide you down it. I will admit that the map is probably one of the more accurate maps I've seen on a GPS, but when you are on a street that the unit can identify and that unit cannot tell you how to get to you destination because you are "In an area where turn by turn Navigation can not be provided". This is not an installation issue. from Crutchfield.com The N872A is a solid upgrade from the previous Alpine aftermarket GSP system (which I also used). The interface is cleaner and easier to understand and the triple input options of from Cnet.com Pros: none Cons: volume so low you can not hear it in traffic from Shopzilla.com Pros: Well it gets you there.
