The CGX5900 is quoted by CellGuide as having a 70% cost advantage over dedicated GPS receiver chips such as the SiRF Star III with matching performance. No wonder SiRF have been talking to Intel recently.

It's not bulky like the others. Very accurate and fast. Tough if you have big fingers though. I agree with Christine. It’s not bulky like the others. Very accurate and fast.

It hasn't let me down yet and everytime I turn it on I find something else cool that it can do. The Points of Interets are endless and include absolutly everything you can imagine, the color is good, maps are great, and voice is loud enough. It's also in a bunch of languages so no one should have a problem. The recalculation is almost instantaneous if you miss a turn (I missed a view on purpose to see how long it would take to fix it). You will not regret your purchase! I just bought this GPS and I absolutly love it! It hasn’t let me down yet and everytime I turn it on I find something else cool that it can do.

How about someone who is a GPS junkie comment on why someone should go for a different unit. Otherwise I may end up buying something I really didn't need but had to get because it was finally cheap enough! Alright… this is lookin’ like a sweet deal.
