Does the time stamp remain accurate between trips? I returned a similar unit because it kept resetting to "2012 01 01".

I did notice that the date on one file was a day off, then the next one was correct, so there does seem to be an issue there. I would document the problem (we just did) in the event specific time/date would matter, although the file sequencing would probably show the discrepency if you saved the files before and after the critical one.

Yes it does as long as internal battery is kept recharged. When it's left on after ACC power is lost the unit will run until internal power is exhausted. There's an internal setting to turn it off after a preset timing to preserve internal battery. Always remember what you pay is what you get. As for this unit it's good pricing.

No if you disconnect it, there are times when it resets like it happened to you.

Ed, Sorry but , i can't answer your question, because the camera was defective, and sent back to Amazon.

It should. Maybe the internal battery was defective in that unit. Make sure it charges all the way (red LED fades) before unplugging it or turning off your car.

This timer will remember the times you set. Even after the timer begins counting past your set time, just hit the stop button twice, and it will reset the timer back to your original time.

Hanna, yes to both of your questions. Once a destination is selected, on the upper right hand corner of the map page is your arrival time and miles to that destination. On another page you have an odometer that can be reset, total hours, hours moving, hours stopped, average speed, max speed, elevation, percentage of trip to destination and hours left to reach destination. I really like all the features on this GPS. Good luck.

No, it's not true. First set the unit to go to a destination. Then the lower left dashboard field will show 'Arrive In x miles' . If it doesn't tap the dashboard field and select 'Distance' from the options. Also if you tap the blue Instruction Bar at the top of the screen (after setting a go to) the Total time and ETA are shown.

Just bought a new 855 and installed the software updates (to version 4.70) before using it. Then, about 1.5 hours into its first trip, the unit froze. I just sent a help request to Garmin, and am anxious to see what they say.

Ours sets time randomly. It also sets the decade randomly as well. It also ignores some warnings, so I cannot in way recommend this radio.

Hold in both buttons until the unit resets. You will need to re-enter your wheel circumference and local time. This will reset your odometer.

no they are not accurate. it got me lost at least 5 times on my last trip in my rv

I don't know,but I can tell you the one i bought has not worked from day one.Time will not set accurately.

I have found this untrue. The map screen will only display estimated time of arrival. You must go to the trip computer to see the miles to distance.Garmin get with the program. You give us 10+ foreign accents but can't give us what we all want to know (Miles to Destination.)

It does remember your destination. I found that if you end up turning the unit off because you made a stop, if you go to "view map" once the unit fires back on, the trip is still there.

So far we haven't had to reset the time. The unit is generally charged up so this isn't a problem.

Yes. Once it hits zero, hit the stop button. It'll go right back to whatever time you started with. If you stop it in advance of hitting zero, however, you need to set the time again.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

There shouldn't be any difference between the two. It is non-GPS non mapping unit so there shouldn't be a difference between the two. I hope this helps :)

No, it doesn't store any trip information. Just has a limit alarm you can set when a speed is reached, pretty simple.

I set mine one time and never had to bother after that. When it worked it worked well. Sadly it has never worked for more than a few months for me. The GPS dies. I've ended up using it as a overpriced bike computer just using the ANT+ sensors.
