I ahd it a few years ago. The GPS chip is SIRF II not III. How can I tell. The specification said 12 channels not 20 channels. So, it is very easy to lose signal. The sentivity is the lowest on the market now.
Do not buy it.

The gps system works great. It is easy to navigate and find destinations. I use it mainly for long trips, but I dont use it as much as I could because sometimes I just keep driving around instead of pulling out my computer when I am in unfamilliar place. It is better than the handheld devices but a little less convenient.

Don't attempt to operate this system on your own while in motion!
Everybody accepts the disclaimer at the opening of the application, but you simply can't be looking at the screen while the vehicle is in motion if you are driving!!!
Other than that, it will get you where you want to go if your right seat passenger doesn't mind operating the laptop, on their lap while driving...
If you have some way to mount a laptop in an easily visible position for the driver, different story. I don't have the option of mounting the unit & don't know anybody else that does, so it's usefulness really quite limited.
