The Pharos 135 uses WinCE that’s why it also gives you MP3 playback, but the overall quality is just not as good as a Garmin or Sony or Tomtom or Magellan. It feels sluggish and it’s cheap for a reason: it can’t compete with the better brands.

Crappy piece of junk.
Cons : 1> Cannot find destinations most of time.
2> stops in middle of journey and searches for signals…
3> takes a long long long long time to get signals.
4> battery dies down daily and needs to be recalibrated often.
Frustrating, I pretty much was about to throw it out of my window on I 95.
Do everyone a favor. do not buy this [...].

Item recieved has software and maps from 2005, and is a little slow. It also doesn’t pick the fastest routes like advertised due to, in my opinion old software.

This gps freeze a lot. The softwares has bug. Its has a low CPU 266 mhz which mean it take more time to do things which other gps with a cpu 400+ mhz does instantly. This GPS you will have to do a lot of resetting as a normal use.

It is the worst product I ever used. I bought it in Dec 2006. I used it for just several times during the following half an year. Both its software and hardware suck! Its map and directions have too many errors. Not clear voice reminder to turn. Display is very confusing. And it dies from time to time. I have to reset it for many times when I was driving on the highway. In May 2007, I found its all maps disappear automatically. I have to send it back to reinstall. I got it back after a long time. Then I used it again in Nov 2007. I found that it does not have all the maps. It has the map around my home, but no map around my destination. Anyway, I used it for half of the trip, but when I was on the highway, its screen became black, no display, no any voices. I cannot turn it on/off. I cannot reset it again. It is totally dead!!!!!!!!!! I guess I used it for less than one year, totally less than 30 hours, but now it is totally dead! I even hate to waste time on sending it back to fix it! I decide to buy a garmin gps instead. Never buy any product from this company.
