I bought this GPS after calling Garmin to determine what type of warranty this GPS came with and also if it was eligible for "latest maps upgrade". Unfortunately Amazon does not give this information. Garmin confirmed that this GPS came with a 1 year warranty and was also eligible for an upgrade to the latest maps. I own a Garmin forerunner and use it all of the time on bike rides, running etc so the Garmin brand was where I looked first. Upon turning the GPS on in the center of my house it was actually able to determine my position...amazing! The ease of use is great. The ability of the GPS to recalculate a route was also pretty surprising. Initially I thought that this GPS did not come with a points of interest database that had anything more than Police, Ambulance and Gas as I was trying to view POIs through the menu button. When I clicked on the "Where do you want to go?" button all of the POIs were there. I emailed Garmin, as others have recommended, and was told that I just needed to prove that I had re-activated it after the date that they had on record(3 months earlier). I forwarded Garmin the amazon.com email receipt and they made the 2010 maps available to download free. So far we are amazed with this GPS's performance as well as Garmin's customer service. Highly recommended! Of course kudos go to Amazon for offering this GPS at such a great price as well as their fast shipping!
Just an update.
I just want to reaffirm the tremendous customer service provided by garmin. I recently had to return my garmin nuvi because of a white screen which was caused by my neglect more than likely. They replaced the item quickly and also included the "latest map upgrade" with the replacement. Amazing! Thanks Garmin.
