Garmin = awful experience

Firstly, I'm not sure where I should really post my problem as the forum doesn't appear to have a section for the nuvi sat nav's?!

I bought a nuvi 2569 around 12 months ago and it's never worked properly, I don't do a lot of driving so it's not been a big priority and I just thought it was user error having not spent enough time getting to know how it works, however, I'm now convinced it's just a pile of junk.

Ever since I've had it, it's been an absolute pain to use, when trying to search for a destination it either says 'map data is not available' or only searches around my current location. I've tried updating the maps, re-installing the maps and it has made no difference.

I'd like to see if I can get it working properly so I can sell it and cut my losses, moved over to the Waze app which is a lot better imo. Does anyone have any tips of how to get it working?

Thanks
