Digital camera Review: DOESN'T WORK
Summary: 1 Stars
IT DOESN'T WORK. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO WORK FOR ONLY ONE GPS. ONCE THE INFORMATION IS DOWNLOADED TO THE GPS, IT WILL NOT DOWNLOAD TO ANOTHER GPS.Digital camera Review: DREADFUL!

The product ships with scanty instructions. After spending about an hour on Garmin's chaotic web support pages, I finally figured out what do do. Alas, when I tried to implement what I learned, the system prompt stated that the product key is invalid. I then called Garmin tech support. The person who picked the phone had no clue, and escalated the issue. After a 90 minute wait, I was informed by another tech guy that Garmin has shipped a bunch of map update DVDs with the wrong product keys, without bothering to inform either the retailers or the customers, or recall the faulty DVDs. He required that I: a) photograph my DVD; and b) email the digital picture of the DVD, along with my purchase invoice, to him. I did so, and a few hours later, he sent me a new product key. Alas, this too did not work. I called Garmin again, and was told that I had no choice but to wait for another hour or more for a new tech guy. The overall attitude was: "we don't care a damn about you; just wait in line and we will continue to abuse you." Ultimately, I ended up returning the Map Update DVD, and I am going to put a bit more and get a new unit from another GPS provider: you can buy a new GPS unit from a non Garmin vendor for just $ 40 more than this DVD! I am going to use my Nuvi as a portable storage and MP3 device. My advise to you: Save yourself endless heartburn and get anything but Garmin.Digital camera Review: DVD computer access

I did not know that computer DVD capability was needed to do the update. Since I have an older computer, I needed to take it to my Daughter to do the update.Digital camera Review: Danger!

We purchased this update for our Nuvi 360 primarly because it was missing many local points of interest, such as gas stations and restaurants. The good news is that this update has many of the missing points of interest in our area (NE US). Unfortunately the new map also has critical inaccuracies, with some two-way streets incorrectly labeled as one-way and some one-way streets incorrectly labeled as two-way. The effect is that the new routes proposed by the 2009 update are horrifically flawed. Instead of going from point A to point B by some short and reasonably direct route, our Nuvi 360 tells us to go in the most circuitous route imaginable, even doubling the required distance. It's so bad that we have stopped using our Nuvi and would gladly pay Garmin another $60 to undo the update. Install this flawed product at your own peril!
Digital camera Review: Decent product, just wish it had an extra feature...

I bought this cd as a Christmas present for my mom, and she claims that she really likes the updates it provided for her. I also have a Garmin gps and she wanted to give it to me for me to use to update my gps; the only problem is, is that it would only register to hers. I think it should be able to update more than one.
