Are there still a lot of bugs in this version? I am considering purchasing it, but am concerned after reading some reviews / questions. I thought it would be a good deal since it is less then 3 months subscription to ancestry.com and I would be owning...

I would say yes. I haven't been able to install 2014, getting numerous fails and errors and the customer service with ancestry is awful. If 2014 can't handle a simple installation then heaven know else would go wrong. I currently use the 2012 version and have been very happy with it. There s a lot of great upgrades in 2012 that i found helpful (I had upgraded from 2008 to 2012). I'm attempting to get my money back for the 2014 and will stick with 2012.

I'm not a tester and don't own the unit (not yet anyway), but I've been checking it out... yes, the monthly service is $10-13 after the initial 3 month free period expires. Based on my experience with other units, this is about the same as the cost of one or more map updates per year that other vendors charge for, but the service includes more ... so for me, this will not be a big concern.

Okay, after a bit of frustration, I got mine to work (same problem). I clicked on the "start the 30 day trial". After doing that, it pops up a box that says I have an outdated version and an option to click on a link to get the updated version through Corel. I clicked on that, chose my operating system and downloaded the update. After install, the same box pops up to register the product and it worked.

Hi Kwilt. Fellow Cheesehead here (Waukesha). Very glad to see 2009 map version shipping with these. Saves me time and hassle. Guess I should have left mine at 'free shipping' instead of next day :-)I'm interested in the SW version that comes with it. Is it 4.5 or something else? Thanks!Mike D

I got it from the Q for under 400.00 (incl. tx, s/h) and on 5 ez-pay installments. EZ pay helps & makes up for having to pay s/h & tx. A friend of mine has 1 & he says he likes it, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine--especially for the internet apps. I still can't figure out why AMZ doesn't have it available yet. Seems it will be old technology before they get a supply.

Hi Eunji,Did you buy it? Was it the Full Version as you expected? Recently I've been ripped off with a seller named Apple Worship about this particular issue, and don't want to screw this up again. I'm sure Amazon is a much more reliable seller.Thanks.

The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

It's been out for almost a year now as mentioned by some of the other responses. I will say though that I have not had any of the issues expressed. I bought the unit new as soon as it came out and haven't had any major issues that required a send back. I will say that it doesn't have the quickest boot time (~30-45 sec) and the GPS loses its recent history every once in a while but other than that it's a great unit. The GPS navigation is stellar and the wifi works good if you have tethering on your phone or a mobile hotspot. In short, of the 4 units I tried (Pioneer, Clarion, OEM and this one) this Kenwood has been the best. Just thought I would put that out there. Good luck on your search.

so the map in it doesnt 'expire' forcing you to get a new map? i was under the impression it was like a subscription and after x amount of time the device didnt work any more til you got the new subscription..?

I just called Garmin. The person who answered the phone said that if you get a unit with V8 mapping data you will be sent a free update when they become available at the end of July 2007 [or maybe early August]. To get the free update, don't order it through ordinary channels. Call customer support and talk to a person. He reassured me that it won't matter who I happen to talk to when I call back; this is the new policy. It tool me 10 minutes to get through at 10:40AM PDT. As soon as they announce the update, at which point the rumor of the new policy will have spread far and wide, i'm sure wait times will increase, but there's a finite number of units covered so it'll settle down if you wait a week or so. They also told me to expect substantial improvements in the map data and POI data of V2008 over V8. This last statement, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt. -dk

Hi. Unfortunately no. The subscription is expired and the initial one seemed to be for only a few months. Thanks for your question because I forgot to explain this.

I've been a money user since the early days and I think these yearly updates have rarely added anything new (except maybe early 2000). I would say that you're wasting money especially if you're not using the automatic statement/balance downloads from your bank. I've never used the feature, but I do have a couple of mutual funds/stocks stored in Money and it does a good job of updated them automatically. The only thing is that these features have to be renewed through software upgrades/purchases about every two years or else you have to input the data manually. I'm currently using Money 2006 and recently tried Money Plus. I really didn't see anything significant except maybe the program startup time. It continued to display the same erroneous data as my current version. Ex. How many time do I have to tell a piece of software that I pay my entire credit card balance every month? Then when I go in the bills summary, it reflects an amount that isn't consistent with the actual account balance. Is that worth paying $45+ for a new piece of software? I really don't think so. What I will never understand is why can't MS publish something a little more detailed information(like Intel when they release new BIOS versions) to let us know what they did. I think it's because they didn't fix very much in the past 12 months since the last release. What they are doing is charging you money for new versions that may have corrected some (not all) bugs. That's garbage--they should release patches like Quicken does when there is something important. Just my 2cents.

anyone know what the fee is if your past your date? we are thinking of buying this but want to make sure we can get updates in the future - even if it's "for a fee"

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

Thanks so much. Since I have 6 different genealogy files, and 3 of them all have over 800 pages, it looks like it might be a bit pricey, but...these are the best I've seen, so I will go ahead and order them. Wish the larger ones had a name plate on the outside. Again, my thanks...I know what to do now.
