It goes without saying that this unit needs a lot of space. It is about 4 times the size of a 4.3 inch screen. I have used the unit for more than 5,000 miles in a Sprinter based RV, I also use a Garmin 765 at the same time so the comparison is between these two for navigating.
The Snap7 has several outstanding features which I really love. The large screen displays more information than the Garmin, including miles and direction for the second turn as well as next turn, speed, distance and time to destination and very good lane information. In a city, it does a much better job of showing which lane to use than does the Garmin. I especially like the feature that it will zoom out to either 5 mi/in or 20 mi/in range until close to the next manuever. It does a beautiful job of showing terrain like mountains, lakes and city boundaries. Useful on a cross-country trip. It is excellent as a second unit
The negatives- The screen is hard to see in bright light, not nearly as bright as the Garmin. The voice is very poor,almost unintelligible. I use POI Factory a lot for camping areas, rest stops, favorite locations, etc and can find no way to download the POI’s into the Snap7. In fact the installed POI’s are awkward to use. The most important deficiency is the routing. At least a dozen times it calculated a different inferior route than the Garmin. The Garmin nearly always gave better directions no matter what settings you used on the Snap7. Only twice did the Snap7 give better routing than the Garmin.
I am happy I bought the Snap 7 and would recommend it, expecially if you have a vehicle with a large windshield and do a lot of cross-country travelling. With the low prices of GPS’s now it is feasible to use two units for different purposes.

The big screen works great if you can find somewhere to put it (I mounted it in the CD tray which is below the radio in my accord.) The mount is strong with three way movement, but the suction cup slips loose easily with the softest touch of the loosening tab, which can be annoying. The screen is easy to read, with good colors and picture, and the sound is easily loud enough for the highway in my car (full volume). The options and features are great. They could be overwhelming for people who want to click and go, but the simple mode is simple enough. You have to play with it for a little while to learn your way around all the features, but you can do almost anything you want as far as navigating. The bottom line is you don’t get weather and traffic, but for relatively cheap you get a huge screen and a great navigator. The nav is fast and accurate, and the voices are great.

Don’t buy anything Nextar! They’re a total crock! They, without notice to registered owners, stop having updates for maps when they feel like it. It’s one use like having to use an old Rand McNally atlas for the year you bought it forever. They want you to participate in their ‘exchange program’ and buy a new one! Buy from a more reputable manufacturer – please!

this is the GPS i use in my car,
it is pretty big and that’s why i like it
the only thing i dont like about it, it that it won’t tell you if you destination is on your right or on you left
i would just say, ” drive X yard and arrive at destination”. so you would have to look around and try to find it yourself

So far this unit has performed well. The major problem that I have is the volume is too low. I have it maxed out and still cannot hear it. I use it in my RV and the road noise overwhelms it. I found that by adding computer speakers and using a 12V 110V converter for power works well. That is my only real beef with it. Otherwise you need to work with it a while to find out how it works as the written instructions leave much to be desired.
