I've had this for a couple of weeks and have used it in Jacksonville FL, Charlotte NC, and Seattle WA. I already own a Garmin handheld but wanted something I could hook up to my laptop. Installation was a breeze, and the led is very useful. However, I found this GPS takes far longer than the Garmin to acquire satellites and seems to be affected by clouds. In the car I've been averaging about five minutes before the led goes green. Once it locks on it is very good at tracking movement, although even the 2006 version of the maps seems out of date. Overall, it was pretty successful in helping me find my way around.
On a plane it's very unpredictable. Flying from Jacksonville to Seattle it was able to capture a signal going north towards Charlotte but soon as we turned west it couldn't hold a signal despite showing four satellites being available.
It's nice having such a small unit, but it appears they have compromised on the antenna too much and sacrificed sensitivity.
