1 2 Purchased unit 3 days ago to travel around hobart. This is my first expereince with sat-nav and this unit worked perfectly. Calculatios seemed fast 5-6 secs not 10-20 as per the review.Recalculation was excellent( tried different routes just for the heck) and the units response to a new course was great. The guys at Dick Smith weren't 100% competent in its working as it is new but helped as much as possible and got me up & running. Can recommend unit for first timers.
The good: easy to use very accurate
The bad: as it is my 1st sat-nav unit I have nothing to compare it to.
the updated map doesn't work properly
The good: nice design, functions fairly good
The bad: the updated map downloaded from the nokia website doesn't work, no support from the nokia support team
I had buy the Nokia 330 GPS; up till now i like it and easy to use; but i have some inquiry just the map; if i can change to tomtom map? or upgrade the 2008 lastest map? if someone can share how to do it? thank you very much.

I didnt read anything about this unit and took the risk. I also asked the guy in DicjkSmith he told me that he doesnt know anything yet because they are pretty new. Anyway I took the risk just before going to Adelaide from Ballarat(in Victoria) so I almost drove about 1300 Km and used it as my navigator and i got to say that was really helpful, quick recalculating, fairly easy and user friendly interface and everything just looks about all right I cannot say perfect because I havent seen a perfect GPS unit yet but this one compare to my last Garmin iQueM3 is hero, that one almost killed me every time I used it. I read it here that it s not quick in recalculating and I should say I dont know what they mean by quick but it was quick enough for me and never took more that 5 seconds, the reception is quite good and even when I compare it with one of my friend's TomTom I see that if it s not better thatn TomTom it s not worse at all plus it has mp3 player, photo view and short cut keys on it which makes it more user friendly than TomTom. The only thing that I could complain is that it doesnt have BlueTooth conectivitty which doesnt make it bad at all because many of GPS s dont have it, so generally speaking I could say I like it and even if it s at the same level with TomTom this is a Nokia!!
