ok took pics today 
its a great little unit, only con about it is that it shakes when driving on bad roads or at higher speeds. overall a good investment if need directions to get a location right away. if there is any question on this gps im will gladly answer any questions

do you find it hard to find a satelite sometimes? my Nuvi is like that i'll turn it on for fun and it will find a satelite half way to my destination.

ooo its alright, when i go to school it may take a few minutes to find a satelite, but also sometimes its really quick to get a lock on a satelite. it really depends where ur at. i feel its a good adition to my car but i will only use it when finding a location instead of always keeping it on. but i can see it being a handy device in the near future

it seems fine for the passenger, i dont recline the seat all the way back and it still has lots of room. the system doesnt hit the passenger. also the total was around $253 all shipped. pretty decent deal

nope pretty simple there was a instructions for the panavise bracket and that is pretty much the only part you have to spend some time opening the dash around the stereo.

lol soo far i never drove top down with my gps active. also there are setting for day and night. you can keep the backlight on but the battery drains quicker. also if a destination is put on the gps the backlight will turn back on to tell you which turn to take. all in all its a good system, ill do some more test during the day with the top down when i have the chance too
