Reviews of the Pharos Drive GPS 140

CNET Review
The Good: The Pharos Drive GPS 140 has a strong receiver and provides accurate directions. In addition, it offers integrated Bluetooth and multimedia features.
The Bad: The GPS 140's interface can be confusing at times, and the unit was sluggish to perform tasks. There's also no support for text-to-speech functionality.
The Bottom Line: Though the Pharos Drive GPS 140 has an accurate receiver and good Bluetooth integration, it will require patience on your part as it suffers from somewhat sluggish performance and an unintuitive interface.
