It is a 2 channell vs 12 for most and it takes a long time to lock on when turned on. As a contrast, my Magellan 4000XLS takes about 15 seconds adn my friends takes 5-10 minutes in idea conditions. You can get a really good GPS for $ 150.00, why skimp $ 50.00 for a piece of junk? Any GPS that takes that long to figure where it is is a piece of junk! It is a toy, not a tool.
