Hey Violin,

I'm in Atlanta too, and considering a CF GPS. You say the reception has been good, I was wondering if you were using an external ant as well or just the CF slot?

Is it useful in Atlanta?

The driving directions fast enough for conditions here?

The street maps good?

Looks like you have had it up for a bit now so just curious before I take the plunge. Is it a hopeful gadget or really useable in your opinion?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the cf pharos no external antenna, I only lost the signal momentarily around symphony hall, aprox 3 sec, then it came back on. Again around the Ritz Carlton down town and only for about 3 sec. then it came back on. I drive between 75-80 mph and have had no problem with the voice prompts or the turns on the axim. It will tell you ahead of time that you have a turn or a merge then you have time to get to the turn lane etc. It also tells you when you are coming to a highway intersection, merging into traffic, etc. I really like it. Check the maps, sometime you will not have the most direct route but it is pretty close to what I would have picked. good luck. :D

Forgot I do not have an external antenna, I am considering one because the reception is supposed to be really good. I found one for 29.95. I think I am going to go ahead and get one. I will let you know how it works. :D
