I received this garmin for christmas and thought is was good from the get go. Until i put it in my truck. once engine was on, it killed the satellite reception. i kept trying and trying for days, returned it for a new one...same problem. my truck has xm radio too. thought that maybe the issue. Nope. nuvi works in wifes car with xm and on-star. 2 co-workers brought their garmins to work to see if thiers worked in my truck...Nope, 4 garmins now. we also established no reception with in 25 foot radius of my truck engine running. chevrolet says its not my truck after numerous visits to chevy dealers and everthing is fine. In Short, Garmin or its distributers should have some sort of "compatibility" charts or knowledge of these issues. i did update the software / firmware and maps...so this was not the issue
Tom Tom had too many bad reviews
I just brought my nuvi back, and ordered a Magellin. i have my fingers crossed.
What's great about it: everthing...except it wont work in the one place its needed, My Truck
What's not so great: NOT compatible with a 2004 Chevy Tahoe
