1 Stars One Star for Packaging and 0 for the rest
WorldNav 3100 Delux couldn’t find my town on the map and they blamed Google maps, said my town was too small. I looked up my town on Google and Google had my town and all the street names. Having used a Garmin 350 for a couple of days I had realistic expectations. It’s unfortunate WorldNav put their money into packaging and too little into development. How can they stay afloat selling a product that performs so badly? Twenty bucks wasted on postage not to mention my disappointment and time trying to make it work. Guess I’ll bite the bullet and buy a Garmin 350.
1 Stars Piece of junk.
This is a rip off. All claims are BS. Short battery life. Software locks up. POI’s must be on Neptune cause there not from around here. The video display reminds me of Atairi Pong from the 60’s. This thing is more lost than the 3 blind mice. I used a friend’s Garmin Street Pilot on a long trip and it performed like a dream, very very useful. Don’t be like me, listen to my friend and buy a Garmin or other well known brand.
5 Stars Worldnav 3100 10/2007 update
I liked this product before but the new update has made this a real winner.
When I first got my Worldnav I was going to Nebraska to visit a new customer, it got me there even with the last 6 miles of the trip being on dirt roads.
Now, the resolution is far better and with yearly updates, you keep up on the latest roads and POIs
5 Stars Worth the money.
Works just fine for me. I have used it for about 1.5 years and there have been no problems.
If you are comparing this to a high end $250.00 or above GPS systems, yes, it falls short. But it is definitely usable for everyday purposes.
