 Well Worth The Price October 5, 2009

I like this GPS. Good thing it talks because it lays on the passenger seat. The suction cup mount broke after a week of extremely careful use. I registered the product and e-mailed the RightWay customer support about this, that it broke way too easy given the limited use and extreme care in handling it. I wish I could say the response was lousy, but it was worse than that. After three e-mails and no response, I bought my own mount which has been working fine for about a month now.
If you plan on buying this GPS, be prepared to include another $25 or so to the final price tag to cover the cost of a new mount. I truly hate companies like this.
UPDATE: The touchpad completely stopped working, making the unit useless. This time, I did get a response from RightWay customer service. On the first try. I had to post this update, because this time they were great. When I sent the unit back, I included the broken mount in the box. Not only did they send me a new mount, they repaired and returned the unit to me in less than a week. From no stars to five stars. As for the performance, I love this thing. Anyone having problems with bad directions from this unit either has a defective unit or did not understand or read the operating instructions. When you add an address location, it asks you first for the city or zip code. Next, a street name. And finally, a house number. I was keying in the house number prior to the street name... you will confuse the unit if you do not put in the address exactly as it asks you to. I live in the Pittsburgh suburbs, and had to go dahn-tahn today. An insurance company near Heinz field. It took me from the expressway to the city streets and back through the rural country roads without missing a turn. You can have it give you directions from quickest, shortest or economical perspectives. You can change from Dale Jr.'s voice, to other ones that will also speak street names. And you can change views from 3D, 2D and many others. Very customizable for even the most picky and demanding user. Well worth the price tag.
Awesome GPS with Dale Jr guiding all the way! September 2, 2009

I've used a friends Nuvi simultaniusly with the Dale Jr and the Nuvi was way off - had me heading down dead end roads into the lake! The Dale Jr GPS gave me right on directions. I love it! I'm on the road a lot and usually alone so it has been a life saver. The screen is the right size and it's small and light weight. Beats the Garmin Nuvi for me!
