When working and after initial firmware update, it worked as advertised

Prior to first firmware update, it had some hangs and search issues ; Screen flickered and unit died, I couldn't reset it or connect it to charge or dock. I contacted Magellan and sent it to them (after faxing receipt copy and warranty). I mailed it to...

Clear accurate directions. plenty of warning about the approaching turn. Small, fit in my pocket. Good maps and easy to use. I like the Bluetooth connection with my cell phone, I find myself using it all the time. One thing though, you need to...

I have owned this thing for more than 6 months, like most other reviewers said, sometimes it is hard to start or restart. Other times it will lock up, when you switch of the engine for a few hours and you'll find it cannot restart next time when you...

Battery life leaves a little to be desired, but if you only use it in your car there are no problems. You have to zoom in farily close to get the visual cues for the points of interest to show up. I still can't get the traffic accessory to work.

I travel for a living and I've probably used this unit for perhaps 75 hours in the last two months I've owned it. It has never locked up and maps are accurate. The only problem was in New York City with all the tall buildings - after driving out of the...

Have to pay for map update (there is currently one available).
