If I purchase now, is it still the same unit from years ago or a new updated model?

I have lifetime FREE updates of software and maps. I'm very happy with the GPS. I just want to re-find that wonderful screen again.

I am not sure what the older model did not have but I think you can down load the manual from Garman and check it out. I like the LMT feature. Has the speed, MPG, distance,trip planer, POI that are up to date and a lot more. One thing it did not have was gas stations with Diesel. (what I tow with). Wife wanted some new shoes and typed in Kohls and it took us to one that was less than 2years old. Has more features than I will need. hoped this helped

Well, it is the updated model...with the features mentioned, plus speed limits for major roads and an indication if you are exceeding it. The maps aren't up to date (at least on mine ordered in Oct. 2012) If you have a memory card that fits the unit you can upload new maps. I had to buy one. I found that (once I had the memory card) the first download of maps took less than an hour when I used the 800 number--unlike the 4 to 5 hours mentioned on line. (I had registered the GPS online.)

I just got it a couple months ago. I can't imagine it wouldn't have to be updated. I am really pleased with it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Can't say that I know the answer to your question. I am not sure that it matters since you get free life time map updates. The display seems to be the latest technology and the blue tooth has not been around for to long.

I'm not sure if I can answer your question, I'm not familiar with an older model, but this one is better than I expected and my wife absolutely loves it. And she usually shies away from new technology. She used it yesterday to go to a hockey game in another state and had no problem with it. It took her right there.

I am referring to an older model that looked exactly like this one that I borrowed from a friend to try out before purchasing this one. This is the exact same model I have and I purchased about 6 month's ago now. Work's great!!

I believe this was the most up to date unit, they have been around a while and I wasnt aware that there was a newer version for maybe quite some years? Don't know for sure though, I suspect the price drop (as well as the price drop on the G-system) that has occurred fairly recently is a sign that they may be poised to release some new models? but have searched and found nothing on this subject. This was a nice unit though!

This is NOT the new and improved model. It is the older model that has been replaced. I was surprised not to get the newer item.

As far as I can tell it is a new unit. It was stated as new. I bought it AUG. 27,2012.

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

The photo on the box is the one in the picture. I bought this model about a year ago but I doubt it's changed.

Its an older model but effective- read my comments below. I even keep am extra new one in inventory (its so cheap- when I break one every two years, I am good to go).

Yes, it absolutely is, the same unit just different branding. Very happy with it!

Mine is 1, but I bought it like 4 years ago. I guess, they would give you the latest version.

Yes I have both but I purchased mine 6 months ago. I don't know if things have changed since

The current model in production is the same model that's been around a couple years. However, the software was updated within the last 6 months.

The unit linked to appears to be new. I purchased a refurb that proved not to work, and on the second go-round purchased new. The improvement over my old unit (Harmony 800--I think) was stunning. Nearly all of the things on the old unit that drove me b@tSh#t had been fixed. It really is a sweet unit.

I think it is the same unit. I think mine has the same warranty. But they said they are NOT respecting the warranty since they are under bankruptcy....

I don't know if there is an update available. The unit I got performs just fine as received.

I bought my unit a few years ago. I would have to check the number. I can't be sure what's being sold now in any case.

The older unit is the same as the newer one. I am not sure what changes were made. I have the older unit and bought the newer unit for my son. As far as I can tell, they are the same. It may be internal or in the software. I did see the older unit has a better description and a view of the back of the unit. Both units include 1080p output.
