Perks
The unit is small and easily installed and comes pre-installed with local maps, enabling you to use it right out of the box. The GPS will also alert you to upcoming fixed speed areas, which is a great benefit on long road trips through changing speed zones. The video and audio players are a nice addition.
Sacrifices
This unit's only real problem is the lack of internal memory. The operating system is pre-installed, but every map upgrade must be copied onto an SD card instead of being installed directly into the unit.
Bottom Line
Small, easily utilized and with excellent technical specifications, this Trakmate GPS system is a very good value, incorporating a good price with the features you need.
