I had a bel 980. I liked it's general performance. It's defanitely a good alternative. But, I returned it. I two things I didn't like was that the speaker is on the right side of the unit directing the sounds away from your head. Yes, it can be loud but when the music is up a bit, it gets drowed out. I do the voice warnings. The other thing I disliked was the the led screen is recessed slightly. Meaning, the screen is pused back into the unit while a little of the case surrounds the screen. I think they did this so sun light doesn't drown out the leds. But, I found myself having to bend over to the center of the windshield to look at the screen whenI got a visual alert because the little "visor" blocked the left side of the screen. I hope this makes sense becasue it's hard to explain. Aside from these two caveats, I like the unit. Oh, it's also bigger than it looks in the pictures. Hope this helps. -Cliff
