I bought the Garmin as a gift for my wife and I was delighted to life for traffic updates and maps.
Setup and navigation is good. We love movies and how the information provided.
Life Map Updates sounds like a great feature. Maps can be updated four times a year and access through the website was easy. But I have to know what Garmin calls "life" of the device. But even if they are only available for three years so it is still cheaper than buying the maps.
The living conditions of the traffic updates are definitely not what I expected and the reason I'm thinking about returning the device. The ads that fund the traffic of life in the pop and interfere with navigation. This is abominable! It should be mentioned in the product description! I could not even find information about the ads funded by the Garmin website traffic!
I just received the unit. He was unable to register and update maps. Garmin Communicator software hangs void. I spent two hours troubleshooting to no avail. This question is well described by a number of people online with no resolution against all Garmin OS systems. Above all my unit comes with maps of only 49 lower states and Canada, and others not. I found some online references some lots have re bad base map loaded. My opinion is actually cutting all Garmin quality control to maximize profits. My unit is going back and Garmin can buy back and fix them or not in their own time and dime. Unit itself is decent, but the user experience is not.
