 Latest firmware Major Improvements June 29, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This unit went from average to great with the latest update from Sony...notice how the later 5 star reviews are all with the updated firmware...this is not the same unit performance wise as earlier "non updated" versions...I believe this unit is best of the pack now...
(I had a Garmin 760...hard to see and bad routing...terrible blutooth)
SONY blows Garmin away... June 5, 2008

Squint at a your tiny Garmin GPS if you want, but I won't...
'cause my SONY NV-U83T has an almost 5" screen. Works great.
Much better mapping than TOM TOM. GPS engine is fast, and
when satellites are temporarily hard to see, navigation continues
with a doppler/inertial-like, gyro-based technology that backs up the
GPS system- SONY's exclusive POSITION PLUS. Becomes my
handsfree phone via Bluetooth, interfaced flawlessly with my
cell phone. Don't listen to the Garminites, they just don't know
any better. The SONY NV-U83T is the cold nuts.

Used this item for two trips. The Sony NVU83T will definitely get you lost. It has a bad habit of telling at the last second to make a turn. This is especially true when traveling on some of the complicated interstates in Oakland, CA, and Washington, DC area.
This unit takes too long to update if you miss a turn.
The bluetooth function doesn't work. and you can't load an address book from a cell phone, or your outlook folder. The loading tool only wants to see XML files.
Sony's support staff can't explain how to load an address book.
Don't believe the nay sayers April 26, 2008

I own the U73T and I am fine with it. Routing issues have been addressed by the latest firmware update. Unit has a great feature list at a very competitive price. Give it a try and decide on your own.
