Review Date: July 3, 2010
Reviewer: S. J. Dash, NJ
I sent this to my daughter who is a Marine, since she was being relocated to another state. It took a very long time to arrive and when it did, it did not work. The updates could not be installed. Finally, she called the manufacturer and she was told the item was out of warranty since 2008. We contacted the sender and was told to send it back for a refund. I bought another one through Amazon, it arrived the next day and was fine. The original company sent a message that they were shipping a new one even though we requested a refund. I contacted them again and they shipped it anyway. My daughter had already left for her reassignment. To date, I have not be notified of any refund from the company.
Great Buy!

This little handy device guided me on my trip from Ga all the way to Montana and back! I do not know how I have lived this long without the Magellan GPS. Great customer service from these guys. They exceed excellence! :)
Don't waste your money especially when there are newer ones out there...

Reviewer: ambYtious, Somewhere, GA
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.
Christmas Present.

Gave to my son for Christmas. Works great. Only con is that you have to pay for the first upgrade to the system. BOO!

Nice little unit for the money.

Reviewer: Sandra, northern california
I bought this unit new from a vendor through amazon. after seven months, its quit operating saying battery critically low... i went through on the hoops, resetting the unit and even installing a new battery and it continues to be un-usable with this error message. For the amount of money paid for the new unit, it is just unacceptable. I really like the ease of use and features better than other models out there that i have tried, tom-tom, etc. However when quality and reliability is so very poor, its just not worth the money.
