S. Corless ( Atlanta ) All these things screw up once in a while, but this is as good as any out there,and for 120 bucks and a year of free traffic update service (or was it 6 months ?) you cannot get a better GPS. It is popular with thieves, also; I have had to buy 4 of them due to Atlanta democrats stealing 3 from my vehicles.

Moogie ( WIsconsin ) Hello out there,
We received a different GPS that we prefer to keep and want to return this one. I have gotten 2 e-mails from Comp USA, but still haven't sent the return authorization or mailing label> What do I need to do to get them to respond?

Joseph Laslo ( Astoria , Oregon ) First the Pro's of this GPS unit : The wide screen is great compared to a few other GPS units I have owned in the past and easy to see the roads and points of interest. It was very easy to install on the windsheild with the suction adaptor included plus its easy to remove the unit by just a lift of the lock. It came with a 90 day free trial of road hazard warning and traffic back up to give you an option of detour to avoid the area before you came to it. Nice slim unit about the thickness of a deck of cards so if you wanted you can disconnect it and put it into your pocket if you were in an area known for high theft . The lovely womans voice is pleasant to hear which you can adjust the volume to suit your needs. Screen changes as night comes to give you a night view of the area which I found interesting.
Cons : Being a brand new GPS I was very dissapointed that the maps had not been updated for many years it seems . We type in Costco which has been here for over 15 years and it never showed up nor the road it is on . After calling tech support and explaining the problem we had to pay another ten dollars ( for shipping ) to recieve the new spring 2009 map disk update . Everything works okay now and roads and business's now show up . The so called free 90 day traffic hazard never has worked and we have gone past ( and been in ) several road construction projects that's been going on for a few years on state highways and county roads, PLUS we have been in traffic back ups from accidents and rush hour traffic and the GPS never gave any warning whatsoever, so that feature does not work at all and would be a waste of money for this unit. The touch screen being new of course is hard to hit with your finger but using the eraser end of a pencil works okay for the time being .
If you plan on buying this unit be prepared to fork out another ten dollars to get the updated maps from magellan, plus don't bother paying for a subscription for their traffic alert program. Just use the 90 day free trial and see if it ever gives you road warning or not.
