I was so excited about get a GPS, was a while to set up the GPS to download everything, go to go on a trip and it didn't work.  It wouldn't turn on.  Sending it back with wanting a full refund.

Thank you much. Margie

No I did not, The power cord has a short in to, the touch screen doesnt always work, updates can now be down loaded thanks to Garmin company website refuses to recognize their product. I ended up down loading Map Quest into my cell. I am in process of Contacting My State Attorney General in regards to this broken model was not worth the Thirty some  dollars at all Avoid at all cost, Stan Brannin

I bought this for a Christmas gift and here we are in March and the Garmin quit working and according to Amazon you only have 30 days to return.
I now will have to contact Garmin and see what they will do to help. I would not get another one if this one only worked for less than 3 mos! Not good! I will re-post if Garmin treats me right! Meantime "I do not recommend this item"

The GPS synchronization is fast, but the connector on the unit doesn't hold the cable that goes to the camera very tightly.

Update:
I have now had this GPS unit for 11 months and I am very disappointed in the quality. The connectors have failed making this unit worthless. I have used this unit fewer than a dozen times and now it's headed for the electronic recycle center.  I cannot recommend this unit to anyone.

This is the harshest review I've ever written for something I've purchased off of Amazon. But, I really don't want anyone wasting their money on this.

The GPS sound went out I cannot regain it.
 It gave wrong directions I ended up having to go on my phone for directions because the GPS was malfunctioning the main issue is the sound on all warnings and other Audible functions
I demand a new one ASAP

Dont waste your time. You lose reception immediately, and your GPS stops working. Noticed my battery working twice as hard trying to find reception all the time

Sound is nice, Bluetooth phone works PRETTY well but quality is not great.
However, even after updating maps several times it's actually turned into joke how poor the navigation system is!
Look at another unit if you NEED the navigation to work!

I am quite disappointed in this radio. I purchased it for my mother for Christmas, and within less than a month it has completely stopped working. The radio will not turn on at all. It wasn't cheap either...

GPS did not work when received. I'll still give it 3 stars as it'd be a good radio if the GPS was working.  Returned and replaced it with an AnyTone AT-D868UV, which has been outstanding.

GPS antenna seems sub-standard. It can't hold a consistent GPS connection when using google maps. My wife's phone works fine in the same area, so I know it's not a weak signal. Also, after a couple of months I started seeing weird vertical striping artifacts on screen. Tried contacting Verykool warranty, but only getting crickets.

Finally after I installed it, I then called Sirius...well needless to say Satellite radio is crazy expensive but whatever I tried it for a month. During that month I had more service interruption than I can count, if you don't have a completely clear sky above your car you will have problems: A tree will mess it up, A wire will mess it up, A cloud will mess it up, Rain forget about it...signal completely gone! I had several professional radio installation techs inspect and go over my hookup work and they said I installed it correctly yet it still failed to work properly. So I got tired of the problems cancelled my Sirius service after a month and dropped this off at Goodwill.

I bought this unit over a year ago and have had nothing but trouble out of it. At first it worked fine, had some roads not on its maps but traveling around wasn't that difficult. I decided to upgrade the maps and bought a years worth of maps and updated my gps. After updating the maps, the street I live on disappeared. It was on the original map that came with the gps, but not on the updated maps. I complained but got no response. I was able to navigate better through some of the cities because the updated maps had the road changes in them. Then a short two weeks after ordering and downloading the maps, my gps went crazy during an upgrade through TomTom Home. I lost everything and could not get the gps to respond or accept any programs/updates. I contacted TomTom and they said for me to do a soft reset, a hard reset and to format and let it search for its programs. It wouldn't work. I finally got it to work but I cannot upgrade through my computer. So I lost the price of one years worth of updated maps and the cost of the GPS.

Slow, screen is wiggly during gps, sometimes latches up when you connect usb drive and screen freezes and turns white

I bought this GPS brand-new from Amazon back in Aug 2012 because I wanted to try out Garmin, the traffic receiver end was a very attractive feature, and because it had the maps of Canada ( where I was going the next month ) on it.

The item arrived quickly, was put to use right away, and worked just fine for about 1 yr. One day ( I drive 300+ miles a day for a living ) I was doing my route, and the screen went black, then restarted ( while I'm driving down the road with it plugged in ) and when it came back up, it showed the image of a gps plugged into a computer.

I rebooted it manually and same thing. So I shut it off and when I got home, I updated it, to which the update said it took okay, and tried using it again the next business day.

When I plugged it in while the car was running, I heard a distinct "knocking" sound 3 times and the unit reset itself again, just to go back through the same loop as the day before.

I contacted Garmin and they suggested that it sounded like the power cord went bad for whatever reason, and I could purchase another one for $69.95 ( that has the traffic receiver built-in to it. ) I found a much cheaper cord at Best Buy and bought that, only to find out that all it does is keep the GPS powered on. There is no alert for traffic anymore, so I am finally convinced, it isn't the power cord, but something wrong with the GPS unit itself.

Had the service from Garmin been a bit better and a bit cheaper for a cord that is almost already outdated now, and the thing lasted a bit longer before having issues, I would have given this a 4 star review. Instead, the 2 stars is being very liberal about it.

I had a Magellan that lasted for 4 yrs ( it didn't have the live traffic feature on it ) but it was far cheaper, brand new and there were actually route options ( such as using the highways/freeways as much as possible, instead of this GPS taking me from point A to point B in the middle of the night, driving down residential streets that run parallel to a deserted freeway.

I would not recommend this to anyone.

Bought two of these in October. Have yet to see a traffic incident in the Atlanta, GA area. After months of calls to TomTom, they finally said there are known issues and traffic hasn't broadcast in ATL since October! I was told by a supervisor that they don't do refunds, discounts, or returns if you didn't buy from them. So I have two worthless antennas. There are supposedly a few other areas in the States where traffic isn't working, either. Really bad customer service / tech support, beyond the units not having any signals to pick up. Waste of $120 each.
