Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's the first GPS I've owned, but I quite like it.Initial impression was nice. Route mapping seems to work very logically. I input some places I drive everyday, and the route it gave me was the exact route I take. Physically, it's very small, fitting perfectly in the palm of my hand (though my hands are a little big). It's very lightweight. The software side seems pretty straightforward, too. However, for anyone who's owned a GPS before, this unit is probably very similar. And, as a bonus, it does have the female British voice. I just completed a trip to NY and relied exclusively on the 3900 to get from point to point and have no complaints.
For a compact navigation unit it seems fairly well conceived and laid out. The stylus has an integrated hidey-hole and with a little practice can be flicked out with the finger quite easily, but it is secure enough not to fall out of its own accord. It's small enough that if you put it in, say, an Otter Box, you could easily use this unit outdoors or on the water (sailing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting).
As for the number of POI, that does leave a bit to be desired. For example, we have a super wal-mart right down the street from me, yet it's not in the POI database for this device. I read somewhere that you can add POI's through a piece of software, which I'm looking into now.
After doing some research about the 'net, it appears that this unit is comparable with the Mio Digiwalker c310, Navigon 2100 and probably a rebranded or cloned Jensen NVX225. The carrying "bag" that came with it is truly the cheese. It took longer to stuff the unit into the bag than it did to open the original package, get a charge in it and start navigating. Speaking of navigating... even inside my office it locked in quickly and correctly established my location. The SiRFstarIII chip in this unit provides accuracy similar to older units with WAAS enabled... 3-5 meters, generally. BTW, thats 9.8-16.4 feet, for those countries not yet using metric (namely, the United States).
With a little intuition and some patience, it appears that this unit is quite customizable and could even be used as a PDA. No map updates are currently available from Amcor.
