Great product

 

Got this about 2 years ago. In this time, I have driven cross country and did not have any issues finding directions thanks to this GPS.

Nice GPS!

 

I lost my power cord and found this unit will not work a similar one or even a usb cable with a usb adapter in the cigarette lighter. I ordered a new one thinking this unit was shot and it works fine again.
