Goes screwie at the first turn, no audio, not worth the price.

For the kind of $ u need to spend on this piece of junk , its no where near its worth. I repent for not buying a Tom Tom or Garmin instead.

Bought a Nav 5000 for Chrismtas. Loved it for the month it worked. It froze and died unexpectedly, eventhough I had performed the recommended software upgrades. I’ve had a Nuvi for a year now without so much as a single problem.

is it worth paying $220 to upgrade from a 4500 to a 5000?? are the maps newer for Canada?

I was under the impression that speed cam POIs were illegal in the UA. How do they get around that?

Also this GPSM 5000 includes in it’s mapping system Red Light Camera notification. I was driving to work today and 3 camera clicks went off and I looked at the map and saw a Stoplight/Camera icon. The notification comes about 1 block from the camera intersection. My co-worker received a citation in the mail a couple of months ago showing he was speeding on a freeway in Arizona. They are starting to put camera’s on the overpasses. He paid $150 to go to driver school or he could have paid $300 for the ticket.

I bought the NavOne 2950 about 3 years ago from QVC for about $500. It worked great for us as we traveled from Calif. to Tenn. But as we came back into San Diego County we noticed that the Interstate Signs on the screen didn’t match right. I checked the update site and found out there wasn’t any support for new updates for the 2950. I e-mailed Cobra and they said that the mapping service went out of business and they offered to upgrade my GPS with the 4000 unit for $150. I sent in my 2950 and they sent me the 5000 GPS instead. So far after about 15 small trips I love it as it is much easier to use and the maps are great. They sent me one with the very latest update version 8 which came out Mar 17, 2008.
