I just got this unit last Friday and like it so far (coming from a Magellan Maestro 4250), but noticed a couple of things I thought I would mention and ask about.
I updated the unit fully right after purchase including maps and software. I am located in central Ohio.
First off, I have had the unit totally lock up on me while clicking on the coupon offers from the traffic receiver and/or returning to the main page from the offers page. I only went there out of curiosity, and found nothing useful, so I probably won't be using that feature anyway, but it shouldn't freeze the unit. :(
Secondly, the traffic icon on my unit so far is ALWAYS green (when attached to power) indicating no traffic issues even when I am in an area with no reception and not covered by the traffic provider. I would think the wise thing to do would be to not have the traffic icon visible on the screen at all if it is not receiving data instead of giving the false sense that I am receiving data and all is clear. Even if the icon were visible, it should be grayed out, but not GREEN. Preference would be to not even display if no valid data is received or if not in a coverage area (to my thinking).
As to the TrafficTrends feature, if this is enabled does it actually give me any benefit to enable it (I have it enabled), or does it just collect and upload MY historic data to Garmin to give them historic traffic data? :confused:
Lastly, I've noticed a couple of places with the speed limit display being incorrect. I would think it would make sense for me to be able to click the speed limit icon and change it to correct it myself, but that doesn't seem possible on this unit (or am I missing something?).
