REVIEWS:
1) uniden 402: I purchased the Uniden 402 and found this unit easy to use and very reliable. The instructions that came with the unit are lacking in detail but after playing with the unit it was easy to understand how to set up what i wanted on the unit. Very nice, would recommend it to anyone.
2) Excellent UI: This device has one of the excellent user interface and design when compared to Garmin and Tom Tom. The bigger screen helps in better viewing and bigger touch screen area than the other small screen products in the market. I like the lights at the sides which blinks when you need to take turn either right or left. Browsing Point of Interest feature in the map is very useful, I did not see this one in other products. The voice guidance is very pleasant and in love with the device... I named it Amanda...and it guides me where ever I go...completely satisfied with this GPS....if you would ask me I would say just go and grab it :)
3) Not Quite Ready for Prime Time: I purchased this GPS because I use other Uniden products and at the time the price was attractive. 2-stars for a decent screen, but I"ve found more cons than pros.
Pros - Bright, large, easy to read screen.
Cons - Directions only guide you to a block (rather than specific address).
Can zoom out only to 8 miles (you can"t get a look at your progress on longer trips).
Poor speaker which is hard to hear in some cars.
Takes much longer to lock on satellites than Garmins we use at work.

If Uniden wants to continue in the GPS market, they have some work to do. For a similar price, you can find much better options.
4) Disappointed!: I couldn"t find any of the places of interests that I need such as parks and schools. This unit took longer to get a lock on the satellites than my previous GPS unit, the ViaMichelin X-930. The turn signal lights are VERY DIM--virtually invisible during the day time. The design is very ugly like a brick. The antenna must be opened in order to have any signal. If you have a PDA, use your PDA with a BlueTooth receiver and get Mapopolis-BEST navigator I"ve ever used.
5) Missing some features: Pros: Slim, attractive, easy to see screen, good reception.
Cons: Despite what the descriptions say, there is NO TEXT TO SPEECH!! I don"t think I"ll be hanging onto this for too long because of it. Also, it doesn"t actually bring you directly to your address... if you want to go to 59 Main St, it will bring you to a range of addresses, like 1-400 Main St. It also doesn"t seem to be all that accurate, almost like the map takes a little while to update itself to where you are. I"m considering getting rid of it.
