Product Description
The Pharos Drive GPS 200 is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a very economical yet full-featured GPS navigation system. The Pharos Drive GPS 200 has advanced text-to-speech (TTS) features and a large 4" easy-to-read display. Everything you need to begin navigating is included. The bright touch screen display clearly shows your current position, direction of the next turn, remaining distance, and the estimated time to your destination. In addition, the Pharos Drive GPS 200 provides spoken directions which not only tell you the distance to and direction of your next turn, but also the name of the upcoming road so that you'll never have to wonder if you are making the correct turn (in English only). If you do miss a turn or make an intentional detour, the Pharos Drive GPS 200 quickly and automatically recalculates a new route to help you reach your destination effortlessly.

 Good for people who want to see the layout of a map, bad for points of interests January 8, 2009
This is my first gps. I'm a grad student who recently got a car and have been driving far distances. I needed to get a gps because printing out maps from gmaps and then trying to read them while driving was too stressful.
Good points: I really liked how this came charged out of the box. I also like how this directs you by basically tracing a line on a map. It's like you're looking down at a map rather then Garmin, which my Dad has, which shows you the horizon. This could be considered bad for people who don't like looking at maps. There is probably some way to change this setting that I haven't bothered to look up because I prefer it this way. I like to know what the street layouts are like. That said I'm very type A.
Cheap - $100 bucks for 4" widescreen TTS
Text to speech is awesome. I don't even have to look at the thing.
Bad points: The points of interest are useless. I recently tried to find a close Starbucks in a city that I know has 3 Starbucks and it reported that the closest one was 40 min away in another town.
I would recommend this for someone for doesn't want to spend a lot of money, or can't afford to, likes to look at maps, and has no real interest in the points of interest. If finding the closest Starbucks is one of your top priorities in a GPS, this is not for you.
 happy customer January 6, 2009
I gave this to my husband for Christmas, and so far he loves it. I was a little worried since it wasn't a brand I had heard about before, but it works great and has more features than other similarly priced items. We really like the points of interest feature.
 Pharos Gps January 6, 2009
Awesome for the price. Works as advertised. Plan to buy your own add ons. Worth it. Much better than I expected. I can now drive at night again.
I would recommend to anyone.
 Difficult interface January 6, 2009
The interface was difficult to use. The process used to input new addresses was not intuitive. I sent the product back because my 82 year old mother could not figure out how to use it. I had trouble with it. The interface should be easy enough for anyone to program.
Great deal December 27, 2008

This GPS is all you would ever want. The touch screen works very nice, and the voice is quite pleasant. The system is pretty fast in calculating your route, and makes an acurate position.
