Summary
Don’t even try to use it without registering and updating the unit first…it’ll just frustrate you at how slow it is. The updates basically fix ALL the negative complaints about this device’s performance. Not only are your maps up-to-date (most recent map version is 8/2012) but the unit becomes remarkably faster and responsive. Highly recommended.
