The Whistler WGPX-650 GPS offers advanced features, including a remote controlled receiver, that help you arrive quickly and safely at your destination. This portable unit with a powerful 266 MHz processor is ready to go when you are--no downloading or PC connection required. Exceptionally easy to use, the WGPX-650 gives you easy access to pre-loaded maps of the United States and millions of points of interest. The WGPX-635 features a large, anti-glare, 3.5-inch color TFT LCD touch screen with turn-by-turn directions, as well as audible and visual prompts to get you where you need to go easily and safely.

The Whistler mapping software (preloaded on a removable SD/MMC card) shows detailed maps of Canada and the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so you can navigate cities and streets while finding your way to restaurants, hotels, post offices, and other key sites.

Mounting this system is snap-- just use the included windshield mount to keep your unit exactly where you need it. When it's time to move the WGPX-650, it dismounts quickly and easily, so you can plug it in at home or put it in your rental car.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Takes WAY too long to pick up signal
The unit is overall OK, but it takes a very long time every time you turn it on to pick up a signal and you can miss important turns. I suggest another brand!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Junk!
This GPS is complete junk. Mine had repeated software problems after just 4 months of use. I had to reload the maps twice and it finally crashed for good. Customer service was no help - telling me to reload the maps both times only masked the issues. It's cheap, overpriced junk. Mine ended up crashing totally and is unusable. '''''For $260 i expected better and I suspect the company knows it's pedalling chinese junk at western-made prices because they stopped returning my e-mails after I told them ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Whistler unit is a must have unit!!!
I have had this unit for several months but did not really put it to maximum use until this past week. For a two thousand mile, eight city trip, it worked flawlessly. I did learn I need to put in my preferences. After that I was one happy traveler. Pulling into a north Chicago suburb late at night without a room reservation, I tried the points of interest feature for the first time. I selected a motel, it took me straight there without having drive forever looking or reading a map at night. This unit ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Constant lock ups
I bought this unit as a Christmas present and it has proved to be a four month headache.

The unit constantly locks up while driving. I've returned this once and the new unit does it just as much. And it rides in a fairly new Cadillac so its not like there is much jarring.

Now the mounting bracket is broke.

Save your money, buy another product.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
Perfect, the screen is wide enough for me to read ( I like to read and listen) not small like one of the Garmin GPS, I received it a few days ago, set up was easy as 1-2-3 no comp. downloads, it was ready to go. I hooked it up and arrived at my location perfectly. I did not use the remote because I was driving alone, but I am sure it is a useful addition. GO WHISTLER
