I bought this from Amazon because the local shops wanted $70 for this here in Australia! Considering it is just a piece of molded plastic really, it is a bit overpriced in my opinion, however, it does the job it is designed to do. I have it mounted on top of my plywood battery box/panel I have fitted to my dinghy and the swivel action allows me to view the GPS from anywhere on the boat, and the tilt action allows yout ot ilt the GPS screen for best viewing/light angle. I use it with my Garmin 76CSx.

I bought this to mount on a Jet Ski, and I was surprised at how well it works despite it’s size.

the zipper works alittle hard, I would not purchase again – the case that came with it was more convenient

I am very pleased with this product. It performs great and the vendor was very quick to ship.

I installed this radio in a remote area in Fiji as part of a Peace Corps house that my son lives in. It is powered by a car battery that is recharged by a thin film solar array. It draws little power and covers a good portion of the east end of Vanua Levu.

theoriginalsubguy has it right.

I bought this for my ATV and Snowmobile. Works “OK” but the locking mechanism comes loose and has to be supplemented some way. I made a little rubber stopper to solve the problem on mine.

BUT… there is now a MUCH better solution — the RAM (brand) mounts are MUCH better. (Amazon has these too). I bought one — They make this Garmin product obsolete.

I have had good luck with it, there is a 5 foot antenna mounted on the t-top that it’s connected too. Decent microphone and speaker. Not all of teh bells and whistles of some radios, but well worth the $.

Great product at a great price.. A must for any real boater that keps up on weather and other Marine communications.

This is my second GPS system for my D90. First one worked ok but was a general pain to use. Difficult to tell if it was working, had to screw around with the PC software, etc.

This is as close to a pain free, no brainer GPS as you are going to get. Has a little screen so you can see what’s going on. Works with any camera that uses SD cards.

You don’t have to mess with any cords to your camera, and no fooling around with your computer. You turn it on, put it in your shirt pocket, and at the end of the day put your SD card in and it writes out all the GPS locales to your pic files. You can leave it on all day on an AA battery….never did actually run out of battery but I used rechargeables and put in a fresh one each morning.

Have used it in photo workshops in Death Valley, Arizona, and Utah.

I do download everything first to my pc just for safety’s sake, then put the card in for update, then download again. But as yet have not had a single problem.

Seems to be able to grab and keep the satellite signals very well. I had it in the pocket of my Levis and it still worked fine.

One minor thing….at the end of the day, when you are ready to get the GPS data into your pic files, even though it might have thousands of data points, it only writes GPS data to 60 pics at a time. Maybe just a failsafe in case the battery fails or something. Don’t know. But it keeps track of where it stopped so you just click, click and it starts back up right where it stopped. Takes a couple of seconds per pic.

Very smart little device. Some very clever thinking in this product’s development. Like I said, you can’t more goof proof than this thing.

If you can read you can set the GMT for the clock in about 5 seconds. Can’t believe some people can’t figure that out.

Only three other things you have to remember.

(1) Remember to make sure your camera is set to the same exact DATE and TIME…easy to see in the GPS screen.

(2) Remember to turn it on.

(3) Remember when adding GPS to your pic files, it only updates 60 pics at a time so you have to be sure it has done all your pics before you take the SD card out.

Highly recommended.

I got this system to replace my 6 disc Bose unit in my Nissan that broke. I had it installed by a professional shop and they did a good job as far as the install goes. However the unit is underpowered compared to my Bose system (as was expected). The Nav seems to be ok, the voices that are available are pretty hard to understand as well as sounding like an old answering machine. I had a problem with the volume of the voice at first but solved it after some troubleshooting. For what I paid for the unit ($499) im pretty satisfied so far. I guess we will see in a few months or so. Another thing, my Bose sub that is located behind the drivers seat no longer works. I asked the people who installed it and they said that it was an external amp issue not a headunit problem. Oh and also I have not yet been able to get it to play mp3 discs which is a reason I got the unit.
