I also find the routing capabilities far too limiting. <br /> <br />I've traded in my 200 for a TomTom One and couldn't be more thrilled - it costs less (amazon running a blowout sale for $199), fits more easily in a pocket, and has bluetooth connectivity for handsfree calling. In addition it also has mapsharing capabilities which (theoretically) ensure that maps are constantly up to date, though I haven't had a chance to put that feature through its paces.

It did not arrive and when tracked, the deliverer claimed to have attempted delivery prior to 12/24 and most cefinitely did not!!! I won't try another Christmas purchase with Amazon based on this.

I just got this and after testing it to plan 2 routes over roads I know very well, I found I cannot trust the routes it chooses. The first one told me to make an illegal left turn in front of 3 lanes of traffic. The next one took me through terrible city traffic over a much longer distance, rather than use the Interstate. It also labeled an Interstate with the wrong number. Yes, I had it configured properly, and downloaded updated software as of Oct 16, 2008. So, the only use for this is as a tiny (possibly inaccurate) map or for GPS coordinates, speed, and elapsed time. Rating: 1 / 5 WARNING: Using this for navigation could be very dangerous!!!

The car charger that came with it apparently had a busted fuse to begin with. no big deal but it seems that you cannot use the unit while charging it in the car charger. Maybe just my bad luck or this is how all systems work.

It works as good as or better than new. If the battery lasts significantly longer than the original, even better. Shame on Garmin for making a device that is so much trouble to replace the battery. Their thinking that the battery would last as long as the device is way faulty. Rating: 5 / 5 The Kit is great. It works as good as or better than new.

The case is to big for the Garmin 1300. It seems like the screen will get scratched by moving around inside the case.
