Buyer's feedback: - * Nice Product ...
Have had the Iway 250C for almost a year and it does all that I ask. However, upgrade required directly from manufacturer was difficult to perform. Needed help from a computer geek. Compared it to this year's models and found no reason to change.

Buyer's feedback: - Good Device but a slow starter
The Iway250C is a great low end unit that will not get you lost.
Unit does have trouble locking on and getting a signal at start-up (2-3 minutes).
Decent MP3 player and picture viewer. Both extras are limited to the amount of space on the 2GB memory card.

This unit is being discontinued so if you can find it for $100-120 go for it !

Buyer's feedback: - great little device
How could we live before without a gps device? first time gps user and very pleased with the product.

pros: nice screen, maps work flawlessly, lots of settings to customize your device, looks good, locks good to windshield, ready to use, all u need is there.

cons: if set in standby mode, battery drains out real fast. if u miss a turn it takes a while to reroute long trips.

excellent device, easy to work around the little things its missing. if driving within a city it reroutes quite fast, voice prompts of turns in time, and ETA and time calculation is very accurate.
overall, very pleased.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great GPS especially for the price. ...
This GPS has worked well for me. I like the 3D mapping better than others I have seen. It has all the features that I need. You can find any point of interest you are looking for. The user interface was easy for me to figure out, I didn't have to read any instructions. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to buy a GPS for there vehicle.
