ProsI like the size of the screen, the clarity of the voice and what I thought was the ease of entering a route. My husband had been nagging me to get a GPS (because he can't read a map quickly enough) and I reluctantly did so. It was certainly an excellent bargain price-wise. I decided to try it out on a 600 mile trip with a stop in Vicksburg, Mississippi where I needed the driving directions. I like the fact that once you begin to put in a street address it quickly enters any street with that beginning spelling.
ConsI'm considered elderly but have had a computer at the office before retiring and one at home since the computer age began. I can use about anything once I have the directions. Even the "booklet for dummies" did not answer some basic questions like, "Are the maps pre-loaded or do I load them?" I didn't have time (or memory on my computer) to download the discs. I had to call Pharos to find out how to load the maps. It worked fine the first 100 miles but shut down after that with a message against the blue screen that neither my friend nor I could read even with bifocals.

Review:Sometimes a basic 1,2,3 booklet is necessary when a customer is not familiar with all the technology involved with a device such as the GPS. I was so discouraged that I could not erase wrong addresses and the list of places is so sensitive when using the "pointer" that I entered several wrong ones and then could not get rid of them! Simplicity, please. Not all of us can "figure it out" without seeing it in writing. I think I will learn to love the GPS before a long trip to Canada next year. I will need it.

ProsGreat product for the money.

ProsStrong GPS receiver, Pre-Loaded Maps of North America, POI's, Multi-Stops, Voice Prompts, Loud Sound, Bluetooth, Real Time Traffic
ConsComes with 2GB SD card (should be larger), no text-to-speech, video quality is not that good

Review:I received this product about 1 month ago and it has been extremley easy to use. I used to own an Axim with a GPS attachment but I hated having to install maps to the device. When I received this device I simply took it out of the box setup the windshield mount and started to use it. I was very impressed with the power of the GPS receiver. I can always get a signal within 30 seconds and I can even get a signal when I'm in my home (never happend with my other GPS with my axim). Another feature that I really liked was bluetooth. I was able to connect my cell phone via bluetooth and use the GPS as a handsfree device and since I have a data plan I was able to get real time traffic. One thing that I didn't like was the quality of the video. When I played a video it was very slow and the sound would not alwasy match up with the actors mouth. The 2GB card that it comes with is pretty much full because of the maps (1.5 GB). But I purchased a 4GB card and it works fine. Overall this device works extremely well for navigation and that was the main reason why I purchased it.

ProsLarge, 4-inch screen. Sensitive GPS receiver. Built-in players for music, pictures, and videos. The Drive 140 features the 20-channel SiRF Star III GPS receiver chipset. ... the Drive 140, like all other SiRF Star III–based devices, acquired satellites quickly and maintained satellite lock – even in the middle of my office.
ConsReflective screen shows fingerprints. Jerky playback of full screen WMV video files. I was pleased to see that the Drive 140 supported playback of WMV files because many other products play only the .AVI format. However, I was a bit disappointed in the playback; it seemed that every 4 or 5 seconds the video would jump a frame or two.

Review:With a nice bundle of features plus a large screen, the Pharos Drive 140 GPS is well-appointed, but text-to-speech functionality and improved POI handling would greatly improve this product.

ProsNo pros at all.
ConsThis product has to be the worst ever. We have had to reset this device everyday since we purchased it. When it does manage to work it switches to play downloaded videos or audios.

Review:I will return this product to Dell and purchased the Tom Tom 910

Prossolid overall!
Consno cons, I dont know what the other guy was talking about
