Maps are not detailed when you zoom out.
Rear view camera not viewing right at first , it was backwards left to right , the instructions did not address this problem but I figured it out by mistake by just touching the corners of the screen when the camera view is on to get the right view.
Over all a good product for the money.

The Cons I entered, in order were:
1) Cannot update maps easily - I have beenn unable to connect to the Peak website AT ALL in the 5 months since I bought this thing.
2) Website cons limited to just a few characters.
3) Cannot tell if screen presses were recognized by the system.
4) The thing gives bad directions.
5) Backup camera field of view is extremely limited, to less than the width of my pickup truck.
6) Zoom in/out is unpredictable and slow.
7) 2D maps are skewed - I just want a regular 2d view, like I'm looking at a map.
This thing is junk. I just want 2-D maps and to be able to say "I want to get from where I am to ..." but when you ask for directions there's no option for "where I am" as a starting point. And what I really want is directions from "I71 Southbound to US50 Eastbound" but YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADDRESSES and then it takes you on sidestreets.
I was on my street and I could see my house. I asked for directions to my house. IT TOLD ME TO TURN AROUND, GET ON THE HIGHWAY, go 1 exit south, go north 2 miles, and then east 3.5 miles ....
Thank goodness I wasn't in a hurry to get to a hospital emergency room.
Much better to use my phone GPS application.

Comments about Peak 4.3" GPS Navigation System with Camera:
Was easy install. Camera worked first time. Remember that when in camera mode the upper left corner will reverse the image left to right and the lower right corner will flip the image top or bottom. Found this in another post. It is NOT mentioned anywhere in the manual. I purchased the unit mainly for the backup camera and connecting to my RV. Works great. Vehicle is 2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab. The GPS is not that great but is better than what I had, nothing. All in all a very good value for the price. The GPS does tell me my house in on the opposite side of the street from actual! But the GPS worked nicely on a 350 mile trip.

Easy to install in my F-150. Unfortunately the directions it gives are terrible! I have wasted a lot of gas following this thing. One time I could see the road I needed to take. The GPS had me go 15 miles around county roads and then onto the road. Another time It ADDED 1.5 hours to a trip I took down south. Now I only use it once I get to the town Im going too to find house addresses.

Thought it would be better than it is.... But it still functions ok! The directions it gives you are impractical... Sends you down seasonal roads!! Overall does work ok though

If you have a hatchback and your lights are part of the car don't buy. I had to take the complete hatch apart then fish the wires through the ports, then take the whole back of the car apart to fish the wires down. At least a 4 hour job and it was on a Sonic. Better know what you are doing, first before you take on the job.

Comments about Peak 4.3" GPS Navigation System with Camera:
Back up camera is good it is day and night camera and Navigation is so so.Hard to put address street address dosnt came by name but if you put zip code it recognize street and address. This camera is impossible to install on Honda Odyssey 2007 number plate with given bracket on center as trunk opening handle is there. Peak should mention this thing and should give some kind of mounting bracket that can be fit without any inconvenience of opening trunk.
