What's great about it: I thought I had gotten a great deal on a refurbished item
What's not so great: Turns out it was broken (mount/charger)
The first issue was that when I went online to register my GPS serial number I was given the choice of downloading maps. Never owning a GPS before, I assumed I must NEED to do this in order to have ethe most up to date map info. To the contrary, it took over an hour to download and I'm assuming now that this may not have even been necessary and that I may have just overwritten the most updated info and used up needed space. Since I was inside, I charged my GPS the first time with the "indoor" charger. Issue two: The first time I used the GPS I had several issues with it's accuracy. I was unable to easily locate a local Best Buy store by simply entering the Best Buy name, which IS supposed to be a valid choice. I searched by electronics stores and Best Buy then came up. Go figure. I pressed GO and "tested" it's accuracy. It FAILED miserably, as all I needed to do was to continue on the same street I was then on, but the GPS took me a few miles around in a semicircle in a further distance to get there. THEN, it took me directly PAST the store & continued directing me God knows where. I had to call the Best Buy myself for directions. The MOST irritating issue of all was that the first time I tried to connect the car charger to the mounting bracket (which is where the charger has to be connected) it seemed like a very loose connection. I questioned it but continued to drive. Then I got a "low battery" signal. I wondered why. i thought maybe a fuse was out in my car charger outlet. As it turns out, the female part of the mounting bracket where the charger goes in was broken and loose and it came right off out of the mounting bracket right along with the charger cord. I was very dissappointed that someone had not previously tested ALL parts and accessories (Mounting bracket/charger) prior to shipping to me. Now this will cause me an unnecessary trip to Best Buy on a Busy Christmas Eve for a replacement mount/charger. Best Buy should replace the mount and test all parts during my visit and give me a $20 store credit for my trouble.
