I had that unit and bought it in February. I got a SquareTrade extended warranty with it and it was the best 47 bucks I spent because I already used it and got my money back for the unit.
I didnt like the fact that when in USB, iPod or CD/DVD mode when the car was turned off the movie would start from the beginning. The song it was playing on the cd would do the same. In iPod mode if you where playing a playlist it would start from the very first song you had. Wouldnt remember the playlist or song playing, just start over. The navigation stopped working after a while and it would trip out a lot! They where more than willing to send me a new unit (AT MY EXPENSE! Had to pay for shipping to them and for return shipping) and when I got that new one within an hour it was doing the same. They offered to give me a new one again but also at my expense. Either I could drive to them so they can swap it out or this time they would send me shipping labels. Im not saying they are bad units cuz last time i did my comment got erased but thats just my experiences with it.

Why do people use these things when massively superior software exists either free on your iPhone or for $50?

When another unit does the same thing, well that kinda say it's bad. Unless your luck is super super bad that U just happen to pick 2 random unit and both were bad. LOL

You see I don't have an iPhone and I also had invested in an 200 dollar tomtom ended up giving it away because it was nt user friendly.... Came across a couple of these aftermarket NAVis online luka like a steal at just 150 more than the tomtom n with extra features

Really? Right now Fry's has a TomTom for 179 with liftime maps and traffic updates.
A Magellan for 119 with lifetime map updates and a Garmin for 129 with liftime traffic updates and all have around a 5" screen.

What do you recommend from those options?

I had garmin before, then magellan, then iphone, then eonon in-dash navi/dvd. Works so damn good!

I have all the coolest gadgets ever invented but in dash is still the best, I don't have to dig into my glove box whenever I got lost.
