If you can find a better GPS for $350, I'd like to know where!

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great mobile GPS unit for the beginner who wants to use it inside and outside the car and doesn't require a huge screen.
Review: Brief History of GPS

Global positioning systems (GPS) have been around in some form or another for almost 30 years. Originally, GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense around 1978. It wasn't until the late '90s, though, that...

The worst GPS I have ever owned but it sure does look nice!

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: I am a huge fan of Pioneer but this has ruined that. Awful routing, POI database is miniscule and out of date. Waste of money
Review: In opening, I have owned 3 Garmin models, a Lowrance, and a MIO. I know what works and what doesn't and I know what to expect, in general.

When the box arrived I was impressed with the nice case that comes with it, the overall appearance...

Pretty Good

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: Good in sunlight
Review: Just spent ten days touring Nova Scotia using the Avec S-1 GPS. On the whole I was very pleased with it's performance. It navigated me flawlessly through and around Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa. Montreal would have been a nightmare without it as it...

Review: I do pizza delivery and cable instalation and has had 5 different gps systems for the jobs, I have to say this is the best one. However there are some flaws. Some features that I really like are:

Really worth it so far!!

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2006
Review: We got this unit as an emergency to replace a broken Roadmate 760 unit. Imagine that the Roadmate ceased to function the morning that we were leaving for a 600 mile trip to the New England area. I was refunded fully for the Roadmate760 because it...

GPS PIONEER AVIC-S1

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: I WOULD ONLY USE THIS SYSTEM IF I HAD NO CLUE WHERE I WAS GOING-NOT TO FIND A BETTER SHORTCUT-YOU PROBABLY KNOW THEM ALREADY!
Review: FOR THE MOST PART THIS IS A GOOD GPS FOR THE PRICE. I DID MY RESEARCH FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE PURCHASING & IT SEEMS FOR THIS PRICE RANGE THIS GPS IS THE BEST YOU WILL GET. I ACTUALLY FOUND MINE ON EBAY FROM A POWER SELLING. WITH S&H TOTAL WAS...

AVIC-S1 a Disappointment

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: There are much better GPS devices available from Garmin and Magellan. I am very disappointed with the Pioneer software and their lack of interest in providing promised software updates.
Review: I purchased my Pioneer after reading the very limited, but positive, reviews. Yes, it is easy to use; however the database is VERY inaccurate in Central Texas and in Western Oregon. The device turned me improperly on numerous occasions; several...
