I have all Garmin electronics on my boat and it has been reliable for many years. If Garmin advertises that the device has a G force detector and a working GPS to not only time stamp the device but with a location than their device has it. I do not understand how other non branded devices can be trusted. I bought it for security reasons and so I wanted a reliable brand.

Hi Bennie: I have been using Garmin GPS's for quite a few years and have never had such a problem. Call Garmin Customer Service and they will answer your problem. Good Luck

Yes, the GPS works with Bluetooth and is not dependent on Wi-Fi or Cell Service.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

Garmin has a 1 year warranty on unit and workmanship. Be sure to register your Garmin on their web site.

The GPS works as long as you download your trip information & route BEFORE leaving your WiFi connection. I just used it today doing it this way.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

GPS is separate. It has an internal antenna. Call support if you do not get it resolved. I love mine.

Sorry Darrell it does not have a stand alone GPS ... you can connect to mapquest on the internet .. this about the only downfall of this table. I am totally happy with it otherwise. Hope this helps you.

I emailed National Geographic and they indicated that their Topo Software in it's current version will work with this Garmin unit. I ordered it and am waiting for delivery. I doubt Garmin is embedding code to stop 3rd party software from working. They probably have a new format and older versions of Topo Software are not suitable.

Patrick, Like any product you get what you pay for. I've had NO problem with this GPS, any place I needed to go it took me right to the door.Not only were the established streets there so were some of the New Developements (MD). Unfortunately I haven't had to look for maps, thats the purpose of a GPS. Just put in the address and follow, if you're looking for something specific use the apps, i.e. resturants, hospitals,schools,etc. If it doesn't do what you want you can always return it. Yes there is also an app for maps, I just don't use it. Hope this helps.

No. The garmin functions by way of satellite sending signals to you. Once you turn it on, it knows your location and sends you info. We have had our for years and it works great! Hope you enjoy your visit!

I use google maps (since data is free - unlimited) I dont use the paid service of GPS.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

If this is the Garmin GPS V. The GPS should have come with the drivers. I do have the drivers and they are outdated and do not work. I have contacted Garmin for support and there are no updates.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.
