I don't understand. If this thing is SO bad, why so many 4* & 5*???

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

Well, it has a number of 1* & 2* and a bunch of 5* (five stars rating). Is their product control so poor that some are good and some are bad?

I gave it a 3 star review. The GPS is not bad, it works well. The main reason, the maps in the area I travel in are way out of date by many, many years, more so than Garmin. I can only guess why others are more happier, it has to do with where they are located. The map data might be more accurate where they travel, but no so in my case. All brands of GPSes I've used suffer to some degree with out dated maps, this one has more than usual.

I didn't send an e-mail directly to you. I asked a general question. Amazon posted it.There are a lot of 4* and 5*,but also a bunch of 1s & 2s.Sorry to have bothered you

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

We tried it once. You can make it work, but 3-5 seemed more fun. That is sort of a mixed answer. I guess the real answer is 'not really'

After the system failed noted that the transformer was fried. Bought a new one (expensive). Didn't help and appeared that the motherboard was also damaged. Also very expensive. In theory, the system is sexy .. in reality it is expensive and undependable. We abandoned the idea before it sucked up more money ... the cell was replaced, the transformer was replace, the motherboard needed replaced .. about all that was worth keeping was the metal box that held the board & transformer. I wouldn't recommend the system to any one I know.

I also got a bad one first and complained and they sent me a new one. It seems to be working fine. I think you also got a bad one. With all these bad ones I don't think I can recommend them.

I just assumed it was because the re-sellers are trying to promote the "perfect five star reviews" over other reviews to help boost their sales. Don't worry about the helpful/not helpful thing, you won't please everyone. I figure some people are looking at my reviews from a parent's perspective, some are looking at it from a kid or fanboy perspective and some are just re-sellers trying to move their (overpriced) products. If it helps any, I thought your review was spot on and just marked your review as helpful.

I think this device has many negatives, but its low price makes it funny. If you manage to adapt to malfunction, is an offer you can not refuse. but if you like quality and good performance, do not buy this device or similar Chinese manufacture, for I give sadness and frustration.

It's a POS. I couldn't get mine to do anything and trashed it. I wish I would have read the reviews before I bought it, they are terrible. As far as I'm concerned it's a an item Amazon shouldn't even be selling it let alone keep sending me questions on it. Good luck, but you might as well avoid the frustration and oval file it now.

It seems so unintuitive that a *faster* speed class rating would be worse for this product. Can someone explain why a class 4 or 6 would be better than a 10 (which is the most optimal card for video recording).

I saw that too, and I think it was just an accident by the Reviewer. BUT - Anyone who reads the review will SEE that it is an error because the customer was quite pleased and very enthusiastic about buying more. Sometimes mistakes happen - and I think that's the situation here. But the overwhelming positive opinions will prevail. This is a popular item.

The units were installed by two different professional installers, each with over 20 years experience. No, the units failed and were crap and I was lied to by Dual's repair department. They units failed, on due to a bad ribbon cable, the others due to bad displays. Glad (and amazed/surprised) you had no problems with them though.

They're all used, some were just used harder than others. Think of it as a scale like 1 through 10. 10 being new and 1 being unusable trash.

As I have responded before this is an inferior piece of equipment in everyway possible. What you describe shows that. If you have time left I encourage you to return it. Amazon should have discontinued this long ago. A major disappointment to those ordering it. Originally touted by Amazon as a 1200$ fine lab instrument. So what about it AMAZON why are you still pushing this poorly designed piece of junk?

My experience with this unit is that regardless of doing all the suggested methods to get the continuous drain to work and continue to work is eventually useless. There is probably an inherent defect with this device with the continuous drain feature. How many times it can be returned for the same defect is probably a better question? Will we be reimbursed for having to deal with this problem is the next question?

Look man, people really need to not buy this item! Or any of 'em of the same type of make. They are BS. If you try one, you could damage your computer. I lost 20GB of files trying to use one of these(and I'm pretty savvy). I complained to Amazon to take all of these down from their site. People....Just do not waste your time on this!! Too good to be true seriously applies here!!

No, and with a product that has nearly as many 1 star ratings as 4 star, I would think long and hard about it before buying. This is the link to my review..
