I bought the FineDrive 400 dez/06. I did e-mailed them something about updating my map and they returned my e-mail in one day. But the scene has been changed. Since april I am having problem and my gps, that start giving a error mensage and lock it. I already have try to contact them, sending them, so far 4 e-mail about the problem and until this moment I have not been contacted. Now I am thinking if the FineDrive it is a dependable brand?

i purchased fine drive 400 about a month a go.
the maps seemed to be out of date by a lot.
i e-mailed them at their tech support address and i got a e-mail returned within 10 minutes i was so surprised.

they said staples are just selling the models with old maps and that if i send the unit to them they’d update my map at no cost.

now im waiting to get my unit back with the latest mapupdate(according to them)

Thanks for the info, Buba. Map upgrades only once per year (or even fewer) is fairly standard for most GPS manufacturers…. unfortunately.

Cons:
Old maps, Many missing point of interest
Delay in getting signal
No support. Nobody picks up phone or returns voice mail.
Map Upgrades only once in a year!!!
