Piece of Garbage! Twice Returned to Garmin - Want my money back! [Posted on 2008-08-09]
I have had nothing but problems with this unit. It does not find satellites quickly, sometimes 10 minutes into a trip it will finally find a signal, other times I have to turn it on and off to get a signal. The first unit was slow at finding a signal and then eventually I would be using it, driving along and the map would stop working. The unit would just freeze up. So Garmin tells me I need to reset it and also charge it on the computer sometimes which to me totally defeats the purpose if I am driving and on a trip with no computer access!!! So, after the tech staff finally accepted that this unit was not working, I send it back. They sent me a refurbished unit which was much faster than the first one I had leading me to believe it was defective from the start. The refurbished unit worked great for 2 weeks and then I go to use it on a trip and it will not work either. I had used it on a long trip and removed it from the car so it was not in the sun and when I went to use it again, nothing! Call Garmin, they tell me to hook it up to a computer which does me no good 20 minutes into a 2 hour trip. But, charged it on the computer over night and absolutely nothing works now. I am very disappointed that I have had gone through 2 units now and when I need a GPS the most, I am without it. The turnaround on a replacement is over 2 weeks which is too much time without one when my job counts on finding locations.
I will not be buying a Garmin again and wish I could get my money back to go buy another brand. Thumbsdown!

Great product, only problem I have is getting it to route away from congested routes. I took a trip to GA from CT and was able to avoid Rt 95 by ignoring the commands. But when I came home I did not realize that it would not take me home the way I came and ended up in the middle of DC in 2 hours of traffic that I was able to avoid on the trip down. The directions in the manual are not clear on how to change the route to preferred roads.

I purchased a Garmin GPS system, it's not the latest and greatest, but it works well for what I need. Amazon is a great site to buy from.

The Garmin Street Pilot satisfied all my wants and needs and the price is great. Easy to operate and it is menu driven, you don't have to read the manual.
