During a week of driving all over the NC coastline, with the GPS and laptop always guiding, we always reached every destination without wasting time being lost. However, we always had the same problems mentioned above. After returning home, there was a new XP driver available on the company website, which I promptly downloaded, installed and took for a test drive at least 5 times. Crashed my laptop every time. So THAT driver was uninstalled and the old one returned.
Instead of 1 star, I'm giving the TripNav 2 stars because:
1. There's still the possibility of firmware upgrades which will
make this thing work properly. It is, after all, a
relatively new product and driver bugs, while pains, are not
surprising.
2. The main reason I bought this was to prevent my getting lost,
and it accomplished that. (It's very sad, but I get lost in
my own neighborhood, and I grew up here).
3. It wasn't bad enough for me to return. For $100, this GPS
is better than no GPS, especially for those long hauls.
Until I can afford a great one, this'll do.
