Reviews of the Pharos Drive GPS 250

CNET Review
The Good: The Pharos Drive GPS 250 is simple to use and offers text-to-speech functionality. The portable navigation system also features a 4.3-inch screen.
The Bad: The Drive GPS 250 can be sluggish with route calculations and general performance. Text-to-speech directions sound a bit robotic, and there's no included accessory to mount the system to your dashboard.
The Bottom Line: Despite ease of use and text-to-speech functionality, the Pharos Drive GPS 250 falters somewhat in the performance department.
