Due to the Delphi's heft, I mount mine so that the unit rests atop the top of the dash. * Mapping - Many cartographic errors, especially in rural areas I live in. Maintained streets missing, while dirt tracks grown over completely shown. Misnamed streets, or parallel streets reversed. POI's missing or misplaced. * Mapping II - A large shopping center with new streets surrounding it; added in 2001 in a town I used to live in; were not shown on the 2006 mapset that came with my unit. * Unit Weirdness - Using the side buttons to zoom almost always puts the map out to maximum and turns off the navigate mode. The icon becomes centered over Manitoba Province, Canada, I live in Nevada, United States. This forces me to zoom back down to the level I want (often taking two or more taps of the button to actually make the zoom change), then turning back on the navigation mode so the triangle icon is shown where I am and not in Manitoba. When you want to simply zoom in or out one level, this is frustrating and takes your eyes and concentration off the road. * Unit Weirdness II - The female voice in the navigate mode can get on your nerves. "She" sounds like a 70-year old woman who smoked all her life. * Unit Weirdness III - The Delphi NAV200 has a stubborn streak from time to time. Using the side buttons or on-screen commands often result in something else entirely non-related to what I'm trying to do. There's been times that I've had to resort to simply shutting it off and re-booting it. * GPS Function - Speed readout of my vehicle is about 3 miles per hour slow. Altitude is usually 200 feet high. This is based on comparisons of side by side readings with my Garmin eTrex hand held GPS device (no mapping capabilities), which is spot on; and also based on known elevation points. * Conclusion - I'd like to see Delphi offer a topographic mapset like does Garmin and others. I use my Garmin eTrex side by side with my Delphi. I do a lot of 4WD exploration in very rural and empty public lands in Nevada. The Garmin is easier to program specific waypoints and these can be "stitched" together to create specific routes. The Delphi cannot guide me in navigate mode because my destination is not a street address. If I want to find a Burger King in a strange city, yes, it does that just fine. But to find a campsite in specific meadows in a mountain range, it cannot do that. But I leave it in map mode just to get an overall look at where I'm at.
