Excellent with a few minor issues

I purchased this unit as an upgrade to the Garmin StreetPilot c340 and I couldn't be happier! There were two reasons why I decided to upgrade to Cobra. First, when taking a trip into New York City, the Garmin went completely haywire telling me to make...

Consumer review by: Amy Gautreaux (amazon.com)

Great unit, except for unacceptable product support

Huge screen, detailed directions, ease of use. These things are all there; HOWEVER, Cobra has not published a software update since August of 2006. Consequently, all of the directions are getting less and less accurate as time passes. I live in a...

Very Good GPS; have used unit for over three years.

We purchased this unit especially for the large screen. As to previous comments: The manual is cursory at best and no additional information is available on their web site. The manual does state that you should moisten the suction cup before...

Easy to use, large display. versatility

I purchased this product over three years ago, and I am pretty sure this is the best unit out there. It's rugged (I've dropped it several times, with the dents to prove it). You can set via points easily to change your route to the one you prefer. This...

not totally satisfy...

I received Cobra GPSM 4000 as a gift from my son in Mother's Day. I was really happy... it works fantastic. Until something happen the last time I put it on, that keeps showing "Error and I am unable to go anywhere', because the GPSM 4000 keep saying,...

Cobra GPS

So far I find the Cobra unit is very accurate and has all the features I need. I like the large screen and voice directions. The only problem is I can't get an additional windshield holding mount. So I have to move the holder from vehicle to...

It works but...

Overall, I love this unit, but hate the lackluster customer support from Cobra. Several emails about this product, posted via their own web site, have gone ignored for months now. Based on the quality of the unit itself I'd rate it 4 eggs, but the...

Excellent display size, and the auto-brightness feature is very good. Takes a little while to learn, and the on-board help functions work well for most things. Accuracy seems to be excellent at +/- 15-20 feet. Traffic info reception also works very...

The POI database needs updating, but there seem to be no updates beyond August of 2006. Has an annoying tendency to want to take any road that goes to the right, then rejoin the main road. (It keeps wanting me to drive through the entrance driveway...
