You can only access the device when it has a signal. If there is no signal you get an error message that the device cannot be located. And you only get it last location.

Thank you so much for the post on the "hard reset". I recently updated my maps and when next I used it I saw the No Maps and the No Data message. Your hard reset worked perfectly--on the second try--it was comforting to see that question come up and know how to answer it. I didn't have any addresses that were essential so all is well. You are a life saver!!!!

I tried it a couple of times to my normal runs into NYC and was disappointed. The worst part is that it shut down on me while on a truck route that it did not consider a truck route. It may be the case that it works well elsewhere. But for NYC at least I would be very leary to rely on it.

I have the Mio - bought on Black Friday - will return it as I cannot make an Address book of my Favorites (places where I might go on a regular basis). This is an important part of the GPS as far as I am concerned. It may not be important in a small town. I also have used the Address Book on other units in which I set up an address of places I might go either around town or on a trip. Then when I get to the town I just turn it on and choose the Address book location I want and let it direct me.

Sorry, I wish I could help you. I recently moved and misplaced it, I never got a chance to use it. I know I will find it one of these days.

Hummmm now there is good question. I would call them and ask. Google them they have amazing customer service. The app really works based on surface streets and basic gps. Not sure what would happen with aerial tracking but call them they are pretty great.

Hope you don't mind if I ask a quick question. I found a Fitbit recently in our grocery parking lot. Didn't know what it was when I picked it up, tried to turn it in to the grocery lost and found but they had gone home for the night. Brought it home and pressed the button, to which it replied "Hello Amy". I immediately put it on my subdivision's website for "Lost and Found - electronic gadget. Call to identify..." stating where i found it and that it is associated with the name "Amy". No responses. Put the same info on my FB in case any of my neighbors weren't on the website. Still no responses. I am assuming someone is bummed because they lost this neat, expensive little device. Any ideas how to get it back to them? Hope you don't mind if I ask a quick question.

Make sure it's plugged in completely to the iPod. If it is make sure your iPod or iPhone is working.I've had major issues when in Manhattan. It basically becomes unusable because if all the radio towers.If it's plugged in and your 30 pin connection isn't broken I'd try for a refund.

Damian, I cannot answer this question....if they covered they phone, I think SQ will honor it...best answer: Call or write to them and find out directly.

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.

It has a MEID that you can call and give to VZW and they can check to see if it has been reported lost/stolen.

The answers below I believe to be incorrect. GPS is global positioning by satellites. The satellite signals you can get essentially anywhere in the world (yes these are military based) and the phone/tablet knows its position. The problem is that to be useful you need a map (you know the picture with roads and what not). Google maps comes through internet (WiFi or cellular signal) and is not stored locally so it won't work. However, there are lots of apps that download maps and store them locally on the device. With this method the GPS will work fine for routing from New York to California and anywhere else you have maps for.

There is a feature called 'Tracker' that will report your position to others so they can follow you, or you follow them. It is used in conjunction with a Blue Tooth Smart Phone that has the App installed. I've never used it as I don't own a Blue Tooth Phone. So, I know nothing beyond what I read and reported here. You can possibly 'Google' more info online. That's where my owners manual exists. Sorry if doesn't help.

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..?

Mike, I bought this for my son, who lives in Queens, NY. He's had it for over a year and so far, there's been no theft. If it were easy to steal, since it is "out there" and visible in Queens, NY, I presume that it would have been stolen already, but that is all conjecture on my part. I really cannot give you a knowledgable, first-hand answer.
