User Reviews for Sony Nav-U NV-U70

Reviewed by: maluballapst

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: bright screen, clear voice, easy touch screen

Weaknesses: a lot of things

Overall Evaluation: please do not buy this! we recently went on vacation and we nearly got lost because of this. it told us wrong directions but luckily we had our backup map in the car. if it wasn't for the map, we wouldn't have got home. this is very out-of-date. you get the wrong address if the zip code isn't right. some people say it fits in your pocket, but it doesn't. it is way to big. only thing good is the view and the easy touch screen. other than that, it is not a good thing to use. it doesn't get a gps signal a lot of times. i am very disappointed with Sony.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: automatically adjusts the brightness level, quickly re routes you if you make a wrong turn, anti glare screen, large screen

Weaknesses: short battery life, won't fit in pocket

Overall Evaluation: This is the first time I have used or seen a GPS in action & have used this for about a month---I don't do a lot of "field trips" but when I do I always seem to get lost (no sense of direction here)...I feel more relaxed knowing I can take a drive where I haven't been before & know my Sony GPS will get me there & especially find the way back home for me...
