Advantages: Good Whilst It Works

Disadvantages: Map Updates

I bought one of these in August 2006. whilst it worked it was brilliant, but 6 months later it started nagging me about updating the map, which I ignored, since from year to year, not that much changes where I live. From then on it stopped ''recognizing'' the destinations I entered, making it practically useless. So to keep it working you have to pay $80 (USD) every year to update the map. Not a fact that was drawn to my attention anywhere, in the print nor by the seller.

Summary: Poor

I have one of these and have NEVER been told to update a map. It's about 3 years old now. Is it the unit that's telling you to do it?
