Title: Don't waste your money especially when there are newer ones out there...
Product review: I had this magellan for close to two years. From the first day I got it, I could never use it without having the car charger attached. It would always say "battery critically low" or just shut off. I tried to hook it to my computer to download an update, it never would update. I really got fed up when the touchscreen started working only when it wanted to, which is not good when you don't know where you're going, and are trying to get directions from a gps with no touchscreen! I finally just said it's time for a new one, so I sold it to gazelle, which buys old electronics. I just got a new garmin nuvi 285wt from Amazon! The shipping was extremely fast and I love the new Garmin. It's totally an update from the magellan, it's very user friendly, and definitely has more up to date maps. The magellan 3100 gets a big thumbs down from me for two years of usage.
