Aquires signal impossibly fast!
By Kar
I started researching GPS units because as a single woman I wanted to feel safer in unfamiliar areas. Yes, I can read a map, but nothing screams "Vulnerable" like studying a map at a convenience store in a less than stellar neighborhood.This unit is technologically superior for its satellite aquisition, signal strength, and ease of use. Any mistakes the map software makes is independent of these features, and I'm certain that none of the maps loaded on any brand unit are perfect...it's just the nature of map software. The beauty of the system, though, is that if it makes a mistake it recalculates your route as soon as you "miss" a turn so it hardly matters.I'm most impressed with this unit's satellite aquisition; it took under a minute to power up and aquire a signal (it was partly sunny on "test day"). Friends of mine have a Garmin (theirs was about $225), and they said it takes them about 10 minutes to get a signal each time it's lost (upon powerup and having gone through a tunnel, etc.). Speaking of tunnels, Cobra claims that this unit has technology that overcomes temporary signal loss so it doesn't mess up your trip, but I haven't tried it yet.I LOVE that the map of the whole US along with "Points of Interest" of every category (gas, grocery, winery, golf, etc) is pre-loaded, and that the Cobra is SIMPLE and intuitive to use. I had to spend a few minutes figuring out how to enter addresses in the address book, but I got it without looking it up.Regarding map updates, I don't think Cobra is very forthright in the product description regarding the update process. If you can find the fact that you have to send it back to Cobra for a $100 update, let me know. :) However, I've used the same old fashioned paper map book for a few years without much trouble so I don't anticipate I'll feel the need to update this software too often. (When Boston's Big Dig has been complete long enough for the maps to include all the changes maybe I'll spring for an update.)For security, I pop it off the windsheild and cover it up when I leave the car since I don't want my car broken into for it. It's very easy to handle.I only paid $450 on QVC for this $650 unit (Today's Special Value), and I think their regular price is $580, so don't pay more than that!

By S. Zion
I also bought this GPS system on QVC- and it is wonderful!! We opened the box, stuck it on the window, and within a few minutes we were cruising along with Ms. Cobra's charming voice giving us perfect, step by step directions. It allows you to input your own destination, or select one from preset categories (tourism, hotels, gas stations, etc). Calculates routes and reroutes lightening fast.It gives you ample time to prepare for a turn, and even gives you a congratulatory "ding" when you take the correct turn. :)It was easy to attach and detach. It made travel so carefree- no fumbling and folding/unfolding paper maps, missing turns, or trying to navigate strange cities at night. We felt totally confident going wherever we wanted, knowing we could easily get back to our hotel.I do not how I lived without this all these years- but I will NEVER travel by car without this wonderful new addition to our family! Money well spent!

Good, but not that good!
By Karen
I was disappointed in my Cobra :-( Initially, was excited; however, found that the system locked up several times. When the signal was lost, it was a long time and several episodes of rebooting to regain the signal. Not very productive when trying to "find your way". Returned the unit and reviewing other GPSs for future use.
