    If you are looking at it for in-car use they are pretty much a waste of time.

    They obviously have no clue how fast you are traveling (unlike the proper in-car ones) so you constantly miss roads/junctions/turn offs.

    At least thats what the garmin one i had access to did.. for incar use its really only good for showing you that you are going in the right general direction..
