This GPS is complete junk. Mine had repeated software problems after just 4 months of use. I had to reload the maps twice and it finally crashed for good. Customer service was no help – telling me to reload the maps both times only masked the issues. It’s cheap, overpriced junk. Mine ended up crashing totally and is unusable. ””’For $260 i expected better and I suspect the company knows it’s pedalling chinese junk at western-made prices because they stopped returning my e-mails after I told them it broke again. Don’t buy it unless you like $260 paper weights. Junk Junk Junk Junk Junk.

This unit has some great features and ergonomics, but Whistler’s choice of OS makes this unit annoyingly unreliable. Having to completely exit the GPS program before shutting down the system is a huge pain in the rear.

For the price, you are getting extremely excellent quality.

I ordered this refurbished from Buy.com for $119 in November ’07. It didn’t work right, so I sent it back and they sent me another.

I live in NY & took the unit to Boston, Chicago & Florida. It worked flawlessly.

I play with it around where I live, and it’s very much on target. Sometimes it tells me to take strange turns in neighboring towns, and by doing so I’ve learned shortcuts that I previously had no idea about.

This product is the BEST! It is definitely worth $400. I see it going for around $170 here on Amazon. Get it now!

I have been dragging my Whistler WGPX-550 on every business trip I take for two years. I have beaten the poor thing and its windshield holder too. THIS IS A PREMIUM GPS!! You can go out and pay double or triple easily but you cannot get a simpler, more user friendly, always works, always exact unit!! I should know as I sell mapping data cards to all manner of GPS accounts. I take 50 business trips a year for 3-7 days at a shot. I cannot afford to baby my GPS and I cannot afford an error. This unit works, flawlessly!! It is a cinch to use and I sincerely cannot recommend it any more fervently.

When I click on GPS, it complains that either IntelliNavEN isn’t there or it’s not a valid WinCE program. I’ve tried putting on the backup from the DVD… nothing changed.

This is very very sad because it was working fine for four days. I felt that this was a good purchase, and it was ready for my family vacation. Guess what? Four hours before the flight to snowy roads in Denver, the unit gave out.

Since GPS Navigation units are the hot items of the season, all the manufacturers in the world are coming up with one, trying to take a bite at the market. It was my mistake to go for the “budget” solution. Time to return this cheap mockup and get a TomTom or Garmin.

Do not get a navigation product from a cheap vendor who’s after the quick holiday-shopping money. Do not buy this product, and do not buy any navigation products from Whistler. You have been warned.
