Title: Neat Gadget, Poor QA, Battery Stinks
Review: Absolutely fabulous gadget. With the car kit, worth the price as a navigator alone. Really readable. Software very well thought out.But. First one I got, the battery would not take a charge, and it kept hard resetting at random. (Some people report installing the firmware update solved the resets.) Buy one from a company that will exchange a defective unit for you.Battery life is horrible. Garmin says 10 days at 30 minutes a day, backlight off. Very funny. Can't read it with backlight off. Seems like battery life is about an hour, regardless of whether GPS is on or not. And it's rather sleazy for Garmin not to give a realistic spec on this important issue.Bottom line: I love it. But I have a nagging suspicion that in six months, Garmin will be forced to come out with a unit with a decent battery.
