Average Rating:
 out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great unit overall
This GPS works great with a little room for improvement. I think that this is probably the best bang for buck (400) for an upper end GPS unit that has many additional features. The bluetooth functions worked well for me (blackberry pearl . . . showed my entire contact list on the GPS screen)as well as the FM transmission capabilities (loud and clear . . .the unit even scans the local radio stations and finds a station that will work best). I drove around locally and put in a few destinations. I tried both the fastest and shortest route settings, but neither came up with what I thought were better routes . . . same thing when I drove a two hour trip that I routinely make. Nonetheless, the routes were accurate and delivered me to my destination in a timely and effecient manner. I love that the unit tells me the side of the street that my destination is on.

Main gripes:
Map accuracy has been off a few times (backroads of GA . . . also new construction areas) but that is a problem that is to be expected with GPS units.
Sometimes I have noticed a slight difference/lag between my actual location and my on screen location; it has caused me to miss a few turns. I used to use TOMTOM on my PDA/PPC phone and I did not have this problem.
Overall I love the unit.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book REALLY IS PURE GOLD
First things first: This book = PURE GOLD

You HAVE to study before turning to this book. But once you do that, this book really points out extremely high yield info. ANYTHING in this book is in it for a reason. Don't start reading something and say "oh well i know that isn't important" BECAUSE IT IS!

Also - this book is great for shelf exams, especially if you take them right after you finish the course. You'll already have been studying throughout the year, and going through First Aid will definitely suffice.

I never really believed people, started listening to the negative reviews of the book....until I ran out of time...turned to this book and WOW





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best STEP 1 study guide
If you just want ONE source for STEP 1, get this book, and know it front to back. Another good source is the Pharm, Micro, Path, and Phys BRS cards set.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - not as good as previous years
I havent read all of it but its structure isent as good as the older edition. also i have found some errors. hopefully you buy a used older edition.
