Item arrived missing parts. Called and was told not available but would give me a credit on Amazon. Problem, part not available on Amazon. The software on this unit is terrible. Difficult to use and very confusing. Don’t try it if you don’t have a lot of patience and an IT degree. Stick with Garmin, Tom Tom, or Magellan.

Sanyo Easy Street 4070 GPS ‘will be’ a great GPS navigation system WHEN Sanyo gets their quality control working. I tried out the Sanyo 4050 about a year ago and loved it, but went for the Garmin 360 because it had Bluetooth and audible turn directions, speaking the name of the street (better than ‘turn right’, because your eyes don’t have to leave the road). It downloaded my cell phone book seamlessly. My son wound up with the Garmin 360 (Garmin has password protection. If it’s stolen, it’s useless to the perp).
Sanyo has now come out with the amazing 4070 Easy Street (or will be when Sanyo gets some quality control) with the perks that the 4050 did not have, so I ordered one from Amazon, which I received in record time – two days. Sadly the Sanyo 4070 failed out of the box. Audible turn directions did not work, it would not connect to my cell, and when I tried to type my street address, after two letters, it jumped to the street beginning with those two letters. I spent several hours trying to get it to work (Sanyo’s customer support seems to be non-existent). The phone # on their site led to dead ends and when I emailed the address on their site, I did not even receive the usual automated response. I sent it back to Amazon who sent me a replacement even before the first one reached them (what great customer service). Alas, I regret to report that the replacement was also defective. Audible turn directions did work in this one but the “Communication” mode failed, as did the first one. I didn’t even try the photo or music mode as they also were not ‘highlighted.’ Again, I repeatedly was unable to raise any response from Sanyo. This is amazing, since they have a great GPS, but hey, this old Marine needs support. Again, Amazon came through like the pros they are. I spoke with Steve and received the kind of customer service that you only dream about with many on line companies (or major brick and steel corporations). Without ‘selling’ me, Steve answered all of my questions about the new Garmin 760 (It’s due to arrive tomorrow. I’ll review it later). Steve not only sold me the Garmin 760, but sold me several accessories which I would have regretted not getting later, as they did not come with the Garmin 760, especially the memory card for pictures of my grandchildren. Steve could not have been more helpful. As I said, he didn’t ‘sell’ me, he ‘helped’ me. I suppose, if he had, I probably would not have purchased the Garmin right now, as it cost a little more than the Sanyo.
Semper Fi!
Signed, a faithful Amazon customer

Briefly, this navigator is slow, is not intuitive to use, and frequently gave directions that were not only what one would normally drive but sometimes just wrong. It has a nice sized screen, and the non-navigator features are good. The traffic was also not accurate when I used it for a couple of weeks.

This GPS had to be the worst one i have yet to use. I used this unit for about a week and i just had to return it. First of all the system crashed consistently. The video playback is terrible, good luck finding the right video and audio bitrate. The Bluetooth was horrible because it doesn’t connect to any Smartphone (Windows based phone). This is how i would list the pros and cons:
Pros
1) Shiny sleek black look
2) Able to use a HCSD cards (I bought the 8GB).
3) Bluetooth, video and music playback, realtime traffic
4) Comes with wall and car charger (very nice).
Cons
1) Crashes all the time. Imagine your on the road and this unit dies on you with system application failed.
2) The windshield bracket is HUGE. The bracket is heavier than the GPS unit.
3) Video and audio britrate is hard to figure out. Unless this system doesn’t have enough power to keep the audio and video sync.
4) No map updates.
5) Software is not for Macs
6) The Voice (TTS)that pronounces the streets and exits is extremely LOW.
7) Never got the FM transmitter working right.
I love everything i buy from Amazon but I really dislike this product. If your looking for a GPS, go with Garmin!

DO NOT BUY!
I have used this gps in 3 different states. TMC has never showed any form of updates, but does showing ‘Tuning/ Tuned to’ implying that it is working.
Unit is not aware of HIGHWAYS made in the past 50 years. 40% of the places I need to go to, the unit is not aware of.
Points of interest haven’t been updated in at least 6 years.
