This is a complete waste of money and time. It won't sync up with the satellites unless I'm up on my roof, and even then the slightest move throws it off. I also own the Garmin Street Pilot color and even on a cold start, the max it takes to sync up is 2 min, and that's in my HOUSE. In my car it takes no time. So, as you can see, when I got the HandyGPS, it was quite a disappointment. It obviously has something to do with power constraints. However, I sometimes worry that my Garmin is too powerful because whenever it's on my radio has a lot of static... hmmm.
