The GPS on my S5000 works very well. Prior to buying, I read from just one reviewer that the GPS wasn't accurate. However, I have used it on several occasions with the Google Maps app, because my son and I swapped cars for three months, and he took my TomTom. I've had NO trouble with it, and it's always directed me correctly, even when I forced it to recalculate the route. I used it WITH WIFI TURNED OFF on a road trip (though I planned the route with WiFi, of course), and it kept me on the intended route to my destination about 70 miles away.

I have found it very easy to use. If you keep the GPS updated it finds the signal quicker. If you don't keep it updated I've had it take up to 2-3 minutes to link up. On average, I'd say it takes 45 seconds to 1 minute to link.

Works very well. Bluetooth and plugin. Maps and gps if you dowload the proper app

The GPS works as long as you download your trip information & route BEFORE leaving your WiFi connection. I just used it today doing it this way.

One of the best features is the fact that you can speak to the GPS. Doesn't always understand my Caribbean accent but it works well. I've used this before I paired my cellphone to it so I'm not sure if this a Bluetooth feature or not

I'm not an expert in GPS systems but my experence has been very good. I've used the system in three different states with perfect results.

I don't understand the question, but the Oregon GPS has a touch screen that works very well.

It performs quite well. Like any GPS, it needs to get the signal. It does not rely on WiFi connections to obtain positioning data. I have read where it adds to the battery drain. However so does use of flash and LCD brightness settings depending on how often you use them. That said, I use selectively use GPS when I'm in unfamiliar territory as it helps me recollect that special spot, especially when no landmark features are prominent. Sometimes a little slow or even non-functional when inside structures which is to be expected.

Not a major GPS provider. There is a message that comes up with web address to purchase updates. The maps loaded were pretty good and the system works well

I really can't answer. I only had my TomTom for a couple of weeks -- it had issues. I bought another Garmin instead.

Patrick, Like any product you get what you pay for. I've had NO problem with this GPS, any place I needed to go it took me right to the door.Not only were the established streets there so were some of the New Developements (MD). Unfortunately I haven't had to look for maps, thats the purpose of a GPS. Just put in the address and follow, if you're looking for something specific use the apps, i.e. resturants, hospitals,schools,etc. If it doesn't do what you want you can always return it. Yes there is also an app for maps, I just don't use it. Hope this helps.

No problem. It is a good GPS. I got it because I tow a 5th wheel with a Volvo semi and it gives me all of the routes for truckers. My rig is 13.5 feet tall so I have to watch the low bridges.

Inside, a gps works shotty at best, this unit is no different. You could give it a try but the unit is supposed to have a view of the sky. Another problem you will find is the range, the directions say 200' away at a minimum and I have found that to be true.

Its not a regular GPS system. But u its work ok for how much the head unit is. I have a Garmin that I use so i usually dont turn on the radio gps

Yes Absolutely. This is the best and most versatile GPS I have ever had. However don't expect a lot from the traffic reports as there are not a lot of radio stations available. The updating is easy.

Thanks for the input, I actually kept the original Garmin. I realized it couldn't recognize my position re: the street because my house is 1000 ft off the road. I actually like it a lot. It does quirky things like take me to the highway one way and bring me home another even though the streets are not one way. At this point, I'm glad I got it.

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3.Harry Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful.
