  Summary: I read the other reviews before I purchased this unit. As it turns out, they all were correct to some extent. This units bells and whistles definitely reflects its price. POI's are limited to gas, parking and airports. The unit does however achieve the goal of providing great directions to places you want to go, and gets you there with a minimum of difficulties. The details, map display is not dynamic with a car icon while you are on the highway in route, it is more like a static map showing an area that you are in, and provides a progress meter on the left side indicating your down to up progress on that map. If you ever had a trip map from the auto club, this is the best comparison. When you get to the street level nearing your destination, you now get that familiar car icon traveling on the map road with you. Icons on the left indicate the next two instructions. The voice prompt warns you about 1.5 miles out that you need to bear left or right for the next instruction. In some cases, (not all) when I reached my destination the unit told me which side of the road to look. It was correct for all so far. As for the interface issues, I experienced a problem with my unit loading the maps from the included SD card, I was able to work through that by cleaning the contacts, once before I cleaned the contacts, the unit locked up and the only way to shut it down was to remove the SD card. The on/off switch did not do the trick, in hindsight I suspect the battery switch may have worked, and a map load problem caused this glitch. I checked the cost of Europe or Canada maps, at $149.00 from Navman you should just buy another unit with the map you need, then you will have a backup unit. The prices for additional maps are too expensive when compared to the cost of an entire unit.

  Summary: Received the GPS on Weds., within 20 minutes of reading everything the system was up and running. Friday morning traveled from LI, NY to Maine using the GPS. It did not miss a beat. It got me every where I want to go to in Maine and home again. It took me the faster routes, some I know I would not have figured out by myself. When I made a mistake it recalculated by trip. Hard to get lost using the GPS.

  Summary: Got this product about a week ago since I saw its price go down by a substantial amount. Got to use it for our labor day road trip in Wisconsin. I was pretty amazed with the accuracy of the maps. This is the first road trip we did where we did not bring a map. Thank goodness this was accurate or we would have been lost in the middle of WI.
  
  The only problem I can find is that it doesn't have street-by-street navigation. It tells you where to turn by distance (e.g. turn left in 1 mile). This is fine if you are driving along highways where each turn/exit are far from each other. This becomes quite confusing when you are in a city where streets are quite near each other.
  
  Nevertheless, this is a very good product for its price (approx $300+). I'm glad I bought it.

  Summary: I 've had a Icn 320 for about a month now and find it does all i want of it,this is a basic unit,but the low price reflects this.(£154 in U.K,December 05).It gets you where you want to go,it is not to bulky to carry in your pocket.
  You can't import Points of interest though or update new roads etc,or speed camera locations,but if you don't need these things ,then the icn 320 can be ideal.
  It is specially useful when you are tired or going over unfamiliar terrain. In short very usefull.

  Summary: This product is so not ready for prime time.
  1) Software crashes... often. After a crash you must power cycle it to continue
  2) While it comes with 'all maps preloaded', you must select the ones you want to use... it should just cache as necessary.
  3) it is slow (sometimes never) to sync to the satellites.
