This was my first sat nav that wasn't on a mobile phone, and the first thing that struck me was the quality of the screen. The size of the screen makes it really easy to use, and I've never had any problems with the navigation itself as I've had on the mobile phones (asking me to turn left when actually the road was just a sharp bend.) Having the speed limit at the bottom of the screen is also really useful.
A few people seem to have had trouble with the satellite signal and upgrades, but the upgrades I was offered (for free) when I first turned the unit on installed after about 2 hours and have worked absolutely fine since.
The unit looks well built and sturdy, not that build quality was particularly important to me as the unit spends most of its time stuck to the windscreen.
