1.0 out of 5 stars Corrupted my unit! Wish I never bought it., December 29, 2008

I've been a happy Magellan 4040 owner up until this map update software. I followed the installation instructions exactly. It appeared as though it worked but when I turned the unit on, it displayed a map error. I had to send the unit back for repair. After weeks of waiting for it to be returned I called Magellan customer service. Apparently since I didn't use their preferred shipper, they had no record of it (so rude). After several phone calls, I tracked it to the wrong address. Turned it on and of course they didn't install the map update like they were supposed to. So now I get to send it back again on my dime so they can install the map update because they will not allow me to return it.
This will be the last map update I will ever purchase and most likely the last Magellan product I will buy. I would rank Magellan customer service as the worst I have ever experienced. They actually blamed me for nearly losing the unit beacuse I didn't use their suggested shipper. Took 2 phone calls to find an agent willing to look up a tracking number. Horrible.

Make sure your battery is fully charged before you do it! Then you will not have any problems. Don't count on the USB power to get it going, charge it first then do it, because if you stop halfway you GPS will lock up and that will be ugly.

Truthfully, I was not particularly enthused about having to update a barely year old GPS system (and having to pay for the priviledge), but if you want your points of interest/road layouts and such to be more recent - notice I didn't say current - it doesn't hurt too much if you find the upgrade for a decent price. I can get rid of some of the saved destinations I had to enter because they didn't show up on the old version, but probably won't bother. There is at least one obvious enhancement: the turn arrow displayed when you are heading to a destination is large and orange now (as opposed to smaller and green?). I would strongly suggest having a wall adaptor plugged in when upgrading your unit, because 1.) it takes a couple of hours to run, 2.) the upgrade will not start if it detects that the unit is not fully charged, and 3.) any termination of the upgrade process before completion could render your unit unusable. Have a nice day.
