Good Price & Feature for money but reception sucks
on October 13, 2009
Posted by: Mon68
from Saint Louis
My older Germin just died on me right before my trip to FL. So went to Best Buy and picked up this new Garmin. It worked great on our trip to FL and in and around the Orlando Metro Area. But on the way back, as we are passing the airport the Unit got completely confused. Right when we are passing the Atlanta Down Town Area. The reception was lost and since than till we stopped for the night the recpetion will come for 10 mins than loose again for 10 mins. In the mountain, it was keep confusing the HWY with the surrounding roads and constanly giving wrong directions. The next morning after we changed the destination address, it worked fine for the rest of the way. It appreas as the Airplane flying low some how confused the GPS completely and it did not get it's momentum back till we changed the destination again. I will go to best buy and have it exchanged for another one and try it. Hopefully the replacement will work out better.
Traffic Delays is not very accurate either. It showed delayed at some spots where there was no delay and it didn't show any delay where there was dealy.
For $180 it is not a bad unit, but I do not suggest any one to buy it for traffic feature only.
What's great about it: Good Price, Speed Limit & Traffic, Wide Display, Voice Guidance
What's not so great: Reception is not the greatest
I would recommend this to a friend!
