Not what I had hoped… 2014-11-26Another bad product.I should have looked on the Delorme Forums site before purchasing this unit.It seems that these GPS units will not connect at all with Windows 8 computers and apparently have troubles with later versions of Windows 7.The unit I had also had a bad USB cord and would not even appear as a set of drives when connected to older machines (I tried three others…).The mapping software that came with the unit looked to…
Not user friendly. Poor support. Have had this unit for over 30 days…and still can’t figure out how to do anything I want to on it. Called Customer Service and said “How do I do……” Their reply was “We don’t do ‘how to'” So I’m stuck with it. Guide is not user friendly.

It would freeze up after it went into sleep mode if I stopped riding to eat a power bar & such. Would…
