The Pharos Drive GPS 150 makes it easy to keep your eyes on the road when looking for a specific address with voice prompts and turn-by-turn spoken instructions that include name of the street or highway (Text-to-Speech technology). The large 3.5" color touch screen LCD clearly displays the preloaded U.S. street level maps and navigation routing.preferences in mind.

Conclusion: Great GPS for the price
Review: I got it new for $70 on Amazon. $20 bill me later discount and $10 rebate.This is a great deal. Build quality is very good. I feel its better than Garmin. Unit is very sturdy. Its map version is old- It has 2006 quarter 4 maps. But I did not face any issues with navigation even in the country side. I observed that its directions matches with the google directions.Battery life good. Mine last for 4 hours if the unit is just left on.Its user interface/font look and feel could have been better.Voice prompts are clear but could have been little louder.Included stylus helps.I was able to locate the ATMs even in a small and remote county.Other than this I did not use its POI features. Overall its a great Unit for the price- even if you don't use its hacking capability.

Conclusion: Great GPS!!!
Review: The Pharos 150 is simple and inexpensive unit. It is easy to use and get to where I want to go.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Very Disappointing
Review: I guess you get what you pay for. The map database is quite outdated for central Texas Pharos doesn't plan an update until late 08' or early 09. The stored points of interest don't contain the most common or prevalent retail, commercial or recreational destinations. It is intuitive and easy to use, but that's because the destination options are limited. It will get you to an exact address or you can point on the map for an approx location. But often the quickest or shortest routes selected are not practical, quite often ignoring freeways altogether. Can't imagine where all the good reviews came from but I am sincerely disappointed.

Conclusion: 5 tumbs down
Review: I bought it because of the good reviews on amazone.
( probably left by manufacturer agents)
First one arived DOA, Could not find gps signal. Recived the replacement rather quick from amazon but replacement was not much better. Unit have difficult time finding satelite. If I needed this machine to find a hospital in case of emergancy I would be dead before it would take me anywhere. G A R B A G E .
Evaluation:
Conclusion: too slow to pickup GPS signals
Review:
The one I ordered from Amazon takes 6 to 15 minutes to acquire the GPS signal.
Called the tech-support and was told to take the unit to an open field. Went to the open backyard, it still took 10 minutes to pickup the signal.
This means that the unit needs to be turned on 10-minute before each trip; or if in a hurry, you need to start the trip without the GPS; and then setting it up 10 minutes later while driving. In case of navigating in an unfamiliar city, 10-minute would go through many streets/blocks.
Once acquires signals, it work fine. but the slow start is a major blow.
