Summary: You ask for too much information
Comment: I would be happy to write a review of product, but do not want credit card numbers listed by my real name
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ok performance for the cost
Comment: I've had this item for about a month and am somewhat pleased with its performance. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros: Compact, fits in your pocket or handbag.
Blue tooth function works great.
Screen bright and visually applealing.
Millions of POI and can map by city or your current location.
Hands free commands work great.
States streets to turn on and gives a tone just before you have to
turn.
Cons: Given inaccurate directions to a POI(3 times to different POIs).
Volume could be louder.
Sometimes the touch screens locks up and doesn't respond to touch.
Cannot change the voice or icon.
Traffic feature does not work although I have a 12mo subscription.
For the cost of this item, I can live with the cons mentioned above but had I paid 3 or 4 hundred dollars for it, I would have sent it back.

Summary: Problems from the get go.
Comment: I have not had a chance to test this unit very well after charging which is a pain because of no AC wall charger is not included I tried to charge via the USB but the service rep from magellan said that will take up to three days and to take it out to my car and drive it around till charged. OK next the software and maps in the unit are already out of date ( I purchased it from AMAZON.COM LLC) The software update was no charge from magellan but the map update is $79.95 So I got the software update and now I have a solid blue screen and am waiting to hear back from magellan. Shame on Amazon for selling out of date equipment.

Summary: Would be great if Magellan has better customer service
Comment: This is my first GPS. I love everything about it, except it breaks on me after just 4 months. I haven't even removed the plastic screen protector, I used it probably 10 times or so. I tried contacting the support via email and phone, but never hear back from them. So I guess I will return it, not sure if I want to get a Magellan again since the customer service isn't that great.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good GPS with a few gripes
Comment: This is a fairly solid GPS and I am happy to own it. Very easy to use and does the job, so to speak. The 3D map display is nice and the spoken road names are helpful. Very small and portable and Magellan's technical support is good, too.
One grips is the screen is very difficult to read during the day, as glare washes it out easily. For the month I have owned it, I had trouble turning it "on" twice, after which the unit performed a "soft reset" for no reason, even with the latest firmware installed. The voice command feature works poorly, even when I speak clearly and slowly. It works half decently with the engine off, but poorly when the car is running and road/engine noise is present.
Overall, though, I like this unit. The features for the price couldn't be beat, and I did a lot of research.
