A great little GPS!

I have been an avid user of Sony electronics for many years now. I was in the market for a GPS and like most people I was looking into buying a Garmin. However, when I saw the U73T in my local Sony Style store I figured I would give it a try. I have been using the unit for a few days now and I have not been disappointed. I live in New York City which is a convoluted maze of roads and highways. The unit makes a satellite connection very quickly which is impressive when you consider that I live in New York City surrounded by hundreds of buildings. Voice guidance is loud and easy to understand (So far I have not heard it mispronounce a street name). The U73T has consistently provided routes for me that were short and sweet. I have not suffered a system crash in several days of use and so far the unit seems very stable. The graphics are a little on the simple side but this is made up for by the awesome 3D split screen function. This feature was a big help to me when I found myself driving on an unfamiliar highway. It even tells you what lane you should be in before an important turn. The touch screen is responsive and easy to use. I had no problems teaching myself the interface and being that this is my first GPS, that's saying something! You can tell that a great deal of forethought and effort went into developing this product. Easy access to POI locations and an easy to use finger gesture command system make this GPS a helpful, easy to use driving companion. Rerouting is also fast and accurate. So far I am very happy with my purchase. I have seen my friends Garmin 350 in action and as far as I am concerned I think this is a better unit (I don't think the Garmin has 3D split screen). If you are looking for an alternative to Garmin I highly recommend the U73T. Low Points: 1. Poor battery life: Full charge only last about an hour and 15min. 2. The touch screen can be a bit unresponsive at times. 3. Unit cannot locate certain addresses, I'm hoping a firmware update will fix this problem.
