Good value. Touch screen features haptic feedback. Real-time traffic reports. Slick Google Search and Twitter integration. No ads.

Sluggish. Small POI database with some search limitations. Monthly fees kick in after three months.

The Insignia NS-CNV43 offers real-time traffic, Google search for points of interest, and a host of other connected services through its cellular data connection. It's also the first GPS device to integrate Twitter. It has haptic feedback, which helps...

Slow booting, positioning, and routing somewhat sour the navigating experience. Its subscription fees for data service are expensive compared with the competition. The hands-free calling system is limited in functionality.

The Insignia NS-CNV43 offers advanced Internet-connected features that we like at a very competitive price, but its shaky implementation of key basic features and slow performance spoil the navigation experience.

When you search for POIs you could also find yourself getting a bit frustrated at the lag time. Then again, at its affordable price point, you really cannot expect the utmost in speedy performance
