In order to play my music and pictures on it. All the memory stick I tried will not work and i know it is not the untit becauts this is the second unit. It has something to do with the magicgate which is a copywrite protection. And i call sony and they told me which one to use. but i can not find them because they are an older Memory Stick. Most all of the memory stick say magicgate or its all ready formated in the memory stick. And the one the will not work is Memory Stick at say Magicgate Mark2 they know those will not work with the gps.

You cannot attach a name to an address in the address book. Anyone who has alot of addresses to record, good luck, unless you can remember what address bolongs to whom. I sent mine back, what poor functionality design, I can't believe SONY could make such a mistake. <br /> <br /> Functionality concern

This GPS is a nice looking piece of garbage. I wanted to return the unit since the suction cup did not stick well, but then I said let's give it a try. What a big mistake! <br />The routing is slow and terrible. It gives the weirdest routes I've ever seen in a GPS. Automatic re-routing dos not exist, there are delays shown by the traffic button, yet the unit keeps you on the busy route. This is the main reason I decided to buy this GPS, since I live in Long Island and I drive to NYC every day. Traffic reports should cover Nassau and Suffolk counties but this is not happening. What a joke! <br />If you go to sony's website (sonystyle.com) none of the units are available. They don't make them anymore! I guess they realized their products are not realiable like the competition. <br />I wished I would have return the unit sooner. Now it's too late and I'm stuck with this junk. <br /> Sony Nav-u NV-U94T

The blue tooth worked well and picked up my phone easily, as well as imported the phone book. But the routing was poor and convoluted. It was so lovely to look at, I really wanted to make it work out, but I'm sorry I've had to return it and go with a Garmin. Not what I hoped for

Still a little slow at aquiring a fix at start up! Not bad but I wish they had something that when the unit is powered down, such as turning your car off at your destination,the unit would remember that location, and not take so long to aquire. Realy love the super suction cup as I can attached it to the dash instead of the windshield. Also like the power cord that plugs into the mount instead of the GPS. Don't need to unplug unit when removing GPS from mount. The split screen is also nice . Compared to earleir units the POI search are alot faster. The bluetooth function seems to work great, with my Verizon G phone, but sometimes it wil not resync after GPS power down and up. Might be a problem with the phone itself. Fro the price this unit can't be beat. The 4.8 inch screen looks great and I don't need to wear my glasses. Voice is easy to understand. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles as other more expensive models but for the price it's great. Works great

Lots of features missing--ie., ability to choose between shortest or quickest route, ability to update maps as I'm able to successfully find an address only about 65% of the time, no "where am I" option, inability to interface with my computer to preload routes prior to a trip, no zoom feature, and mumerous others. The main reason I chose to purchase this item was the larger screen and the automatic split screen when approaching a turn--particularly when traveling on interstate highways. I have to admit that the screen is OK and the menu buttons on the side are nice--other than that, I should have spent my hard earned money elsewhere to garner more fuctionality. Sony 94T GPS

Half way towards my destination the directions told me to take rt 202 south, and I did even though it didn't sound right to me. After a couple of minutes on rt 202 south it told me to make a u-turn, and I did. Once I got back to the ramp where I took rt 202 South it told me to make a u-turn again (sounds like an episode of the twillight zone). That is when I turned it off and stopped at a gas station to ask for directions. I returned it the next day. Great GPS if you want to get lost

I have been very impressed with the look and organization of the display and the Bluetooth has performed flawlessly. Additionally, the mounting system is the best I've seen in a portable nav unit.
