If you look hard enough online, however, I'm sure you can find updated maps... Sandra, I'm not sure what your problem is. Did you try a different charger? I use a USB charger and a regular USB to Mini-B cable, and it charges up just fine. It may be that the fuse in the charger it came with is bad, which is an easy problem to fix. Try charging it with a different car charger, or try a regular wall charger and see if it charges there. Jerry, you can’t currently purchase maps directly.

I've had it in my cigarette lighter but it does nothing. Am I doing something wrong? I can't get it going at all. I just got it for Christmas and it doesn't seem to work. I feel I got taken and now I can't even get my money back. I guess I should have known. I can’t figure how to charge it. I’ve had it in my cigarette lighter but it does nothing.

It picks up my home address a little south of where it actually is (but Google Maps does the same thing; my house number isn't accurate at all), but other than that it's pretty spot-on. I haven't gotten lost yet! :)</p> I haven’t noticed any problems yet.

This seems to a good alternative. Have you noticed any inaccuracy, glitches, or problems using this GPS? My old Garmin would show me a Carl Jr's restaurant 1200 miles away as the nearest, while I know for a fact that the 10-year old restaurant is just a block away.</p> I owned two much-older Garmins, one after another, and I do not like it.
