Unreliable, sporadically useless The system works well - until you try to use it. I've had it suddenly stop recognising its GPS receiver almost every time I need it in earnest.

The GPS Unit worked - it was probably not made by Microsoft. It accurately placed the unit on the map. 3. The most damning feature was the fact that when you venture off the... more info
