Title: Close but no cigar
Product review: Just bought the StreetPilot III Deluxe package and returned it after just one day. The product is not ready for prime time because it is slow, has a sloppy interface and poor user manuals. The software finally installed under Windows 98 after a couple of lengthy tries and crashes. Programming the flash card with 128MB of data was a pain -- lousy MapSource interface and very slow data transfers for USB (45 minutes for 128MB). And even with 128 MB, you cannot get in all the data for a trip from NY to Florida. Screen redraws are slow as you are driving. Also, because this is not WAAS enabled, the accuracy is down to only 15 meters and this makes spoken directions on tight turns a little inaccurate. Entering an address to go to is clunky. Magellan's user interface is much better. I recommend the Magellan Roadmate 700 even though it is twice the price.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
