Sony Nav-u GPS thoughts?

I recently ran across an editorial about the Sony nav-u gps as found on sonystyle.com.
Is that their own or someone else's repackaged? Any experience?



Thanks

Herbert

It's available over in Europe right now, & GPS Passion compared it to some other units: http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=175

Main criticism is that the accuracy isn't that great since it doesn't have the SiRF 3 chipset.

I've got the Garmin Nuvi 350 (which has the SiRF 3) and I'm *extremely* happy with it.
