Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony NVU44 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech (Gun Metallic)
Customer Review: OLD MAP
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this GPS thinking it was coming with a SUPER SUCTION CUP mount which would not require a dashboard adhesive disk in order to mount it on the dash. Wrong, unlike the description says, it came with regular windshield suction cup and adhesive disk. So, I'd have to mount it on my windshield and wipe the ring mark off before getting off my car to avoid jerks breaking my car's window to steal gps. Disappointded, but not a huge problem, I thought.
My biggest disappointment came from the fact that it came with old map which seem to be several years old and what's worse is that Sony seems not to be willing to update it any time soon. It failed to accept the house numbers of buildings such as 24 hour fitness that I've been going for the last 2 years. Also, POI does not find the WAL-MART which opened more than 2 years ago. It looks like Sony is selling the device with a 2006 map data. I've been using this for 3 days, and I am returning it tomorrow.
Customer Review: Frustration? Yeah, we got it!
Summary: 1 Stars
Thank you,thank you for the opportunity to (vent) review the frustrations of this product. First of all, check all my reviews...they are all positive for good reasons: I have loved the products. Not so this little gem. It is counter intuitive and frustrating to operate, even when at home and not in a moving vehicle. This is so surprising for a Sony product of which I have many, from digital cameras to televisions. From its (5? volt) car plug in adaptor (you know any 5 volt cars?!) to its initial starting address entry you will be ready to throw it out the nearest window. On a more positive note I only spent 80 bucks for it and it does have 'text to speech' which is remarkable for under 100 dollars. I will continue to struggle with it and am eager to write a happy review, but until then this reccommendation will remain 'avoid at all costs'Customer Review: Goo to use, poor product quqlity
Summary: 1 Stars
This is SONY brand, you trusted what you bought.
. Functional: good, no complain about it.
. Quality: minimum marginal quality. Used this GPS a few times only, the power ON/OFF button then broken, a part moving around inside, the GPS couldn't be powered ON anymore, totally dead.
. SONY agreed a replacement.
Customer Review: Can't buy battery!
Summary: 1 Stars
I used it for 18 months and battery is not working anymore.
I can't find new battery to purchase and Sony customer Service told me this item is so after 18 months I have to throw it away!
