    We already have two just like this except that they are in the colored version. The unit can be a bit complicated to work but keep at it and you will master it. We never did find a website or customer service that could assist us with questions so we ended up asking a GARMIN user. He was very helpful so apparently the units are similar.

    Watch what you pay and what you are paying for!! The most updated firmwear that we have found is 5.40 version. There are units out there that are terribly out of date (even though they say they just got it, "new in box, just opened and looked at it"). Make sure you get the PC cable to go with the unit. Without that cable you are going to have to buy one to do updates.

    What they don't tell you: once you get the unit you still have to get an SD card and upload the map of your choice for your area. Without this map you won't be able to find addresses. We used MapSend Direct Route North America and we've been very happy with it. By the way, unless the listing includes MapSend you have to buy that seperate also. Watch ebay listings for this too. We bought our SD cards locally. Since MapSend searchs all like addresses for all cities requested we are going to load less visited states on a separate card so it's easier to find the addres you are looking for.

    Make sure you get the user manual with the unit. You can download what you need from the Magellan webiste but who wants to print out more than 100 pages.

    Overall, we are very happy with the unit. There are always drawback with any unit, with this unit we found the screen hard to read at night. Of course we liked the colored version better but the Gold is a very nice unit.

    Great little GPS. Our first and easy to use with a little reading in the manual.
    Had the most featues compared to others at the same or greater price.
    If anything the only thing I dislike is the compass. It does not locate unless moving. This is explained in the manual. There are other more expensive models that have and active compass when standing still.

    All in all this is a great item tell friens to buy one.
