Customer Review

Many good, sometimes very detailed and controversial reviews on this device are already available. So I confine myself to my impressions in short sentences / words:
[+] Extremely fast GPS reception or signal structure.
[+] Fast and reliable route calculation.
[+] Advanced Lane Guidance: Shows the lane to be taken.
[+] Alternative routes can be calculated quickly and reliably.
[+] Traffic reports via TMC-Pro.
[+] Safety camera warning (but only for 3 months free).
[+] View of the maps well and clearly.
[+] The 5-inch (13cm) display is sufficiently large and clear for my liking.
[+] Display Resolution grade 3+, easy to read in sunlight.
[+] The voice prompts are exactly spoken clearly and sufficiently early stage.
[+] 3 German voices are available. I use 'Lisa', but only the man 'Yannick' can also call street names.
[+] Good, solid and stable mounting mechanism.
[+] Easy to use - suitable or just for beginners.
[+] Attractive design and meticulous workmanship.
[+] Long-term, free map updates.

[+ -] The touch screen has a clear display, the input data is initially though some getting used to - the correct "typing" (tactile / contact angle) have to practice a little - and then everything was without any problems.

[-] It is supplied user manual. The Quick Start Guide is really short - too short. Although is an instruction manual on the website available, this may however not replace a manual. Here is saved at the completely wrong spot - which I find very annoying.
[-] No battery charge display on the unit. One important piece of information thus missing.
[-] The maximum battery operating time is 2 hours - much too short in my opinion.

My conclusion: A little practice with easy-to-use, robust and very recommendable beginners navigation device with excellent GPS reception. My differentiated rating: 3.8 stars.
