	3	Phil 8/25/2007 9:21:00 AM I am a truck driver, and recently got a new truck that came with the iway 500c installed in the dash. I was very disappointed after the first day on the road. There wasn't enough memory to calculate a trip from PA to Miami, FL. On short trips it takes over one minute to load the route, and then it gets lost a lot, in the middle of a short trip it says searching for position, then you have to start all over again. The last trip it tried to take us off the interstate at every exit, just to put us back on at the very same place. I would not recomend this GPS.
	3	Anonymous 11/19/2005 4:12:56 PM I had one eight months and was on my third unit when I sold it. The unit runs very hot and is prone to touch-screen and hard drive failures. My first unit generated an audio squeal that was somewhat improved in my second unit. All units appeared slightly different. I have read nothing indicating the units are now more reliable. Although the display is big and bright the resolution is too low for a display this size. The iWay is difficult to program as there is no predictive text entry incorporating expected features such as auto-complete and drop-down menus. There is no facility to import external data, such as your address book, or do trip planning from your PC. It has no avoid or detour feature making it hard to override. Version 1.3 of the software did not allow a route programming via multiple stops. It was the iWay's way or no way. This reportedly is fixed in version 1.4. My biggest gripe was that it can not be used as a moving map as it displays the names of cross-streets on a random and unpredictable basis. Sometimes street signs are missing or unreadable. It would be nice if the iWay would step up and fill in the blanks for you. It doesn?t. The MP3 player worked, but not well. I used it hard-wired into my AUX circuit on my factory Bose system. To overcome the squeal and over-attenuation, I installed a PIE pre-amp and two noise filters. Performance was acceptable, but then, I?m not an audiophile. Lowrance customer support blamed the audio squeal on my vehicle yet it squealed with the ignition off or on my lap in the living room. When it would stall sitting on the dashboard, in air-conditioning on a hot day, they suggested I sit it on a white cloth. Exchanging your unit for a replacement is prompt provided they have inventory in stock. I score it a ten on looks and a four on what is really important.
