I've had several sat-navs and this is undoubtedly the worst which is a shame as I am normally a HUGE Sony fan. I've re-examined this now though.
Firstly, the unit froze several time and I had to turn it on and off, and re-enter destination details again. This usually happened in the middle of Monday morning rush-hour in a city centre. Several times it's attempted to take my down one-way street or the wrong route as I'm sure I'm correct in saying that the mapping is over 2-3 years old and well out of date.
As a final annoyance, it's generally so slow in giving directions that I've gone past a turning often before the sat-nav says"turn right/left".
All-in-all a bitter dissapointment.
Agree ... awful - 26 Aug 2007

This product is really bad ... it took an hour to find the satellite the other day which meant we got stuck on a slow moving motorway. The trouble is you never know for sure whether the thing will work or not ... an unreliable product is worse than no product at all so give it a miss.

This is my first sat-nav system and although I'm nowhere near a technophobe and usually know how to work devices without even reading the manuals, this is horrendous.
The problem isn't with the device itself but rather in trying to register the device with Sony in order to receive the regular camera updates. I eventually managed to register it the first time after many failed attempts and update the initial software, however, for subsequent updates, I cannot now even log into the Sony site to get there! My Sony id is constantly thrown out despite it being copied directly from the orginal e-mail I received from them and/or my password isn't recognised despite that also being repeatedly sent to me. Even if I do get past this screen - which has been very rare - it either fails to display the following page or says my registration process is still incomplete! When I try to complete it, I either get another blank screen or it frustratingly throws me out, returning me back to the log-in screen again!
I've never known anything quite like this - when updating firmware/software for my various MP3 players for instance, this has never happened.
All in all, I wish I hadn't bought this and have now given up on the camera updates, one of the critical reasons for buying this.
One star is being generous to this product. I cannot recommend it on any level whatsoever and it now takes the dubious honour of being the worst piece of kit I've reviewed on Amazon so far.

I recently purchased this item because one it was cheap, two sony always had products I have found to be reliable and three the reviews were good.
It is to slow to pick up the signal to load the map. Also on that very bad Friday when the weather caused all the floods it was useless as it wanted to take me everywhere except home as instructed.
I also had a recent trip to Lewis in Sussex. On my return I switch it on and I had already travelled 25 miles before it pick up the signal.
