    I just got the new Garmin Nuvi 1300. It came with no instructions, an online registration where the new unit was not listed as an available product, and a power cord for the car only. No USB cord or home charging cord, even though these cords are now often universal (charging cord doubles as USB cord, etc.) It seems they want to make their money from you buying accessories. Very disappointed with getting a stripped down product that requires numerous add-on’s.

    Turning it on, it requires you to enter the language and the country, every time!? Then, when I selected “map,” instead of showing me where I was in the USA, it indicated I was somewhere in China! This unit needs some corrections–but without the USB connector, it will be hard to upgrade the firmware.

    I bought this Garmin because it seemed like it would be easy to use. My daughter has a 350 and she loves it. But I don’t love mine. It only holds a charge for about 2 hours, it didn’t come with any external battery charges except a vehicle power outlet cord and when I plug the GPU unit in it immediately goes into charging mode and won’t operate. Same thing when I plug it into my desktop comptuter at home ( with a USB cord from my camera, since one was not supplied with the Garmin.) When it’s charging, I can’t do anything else: no naviagaion, no downloading waypoints, nothing. Plus, it doens’t know where anything is! It sends me way out of my way or onto dead end streets trying to get anywhere! I don’t know anything about other GPS units, but if they are all like this, who needs it?? I’ll just go back to my old way: highway maps and print outs from Google maps–they are more accurate anyway…

    The nearest Target store to my home is 1.6 miles. This GPS declared that one 3.3 miles away as the nearest. There are 10 Petsmart stores in my city. Nuvi couldn’t fine even one. For at least one address, Nuvi went left instead of right at the last turn; wild goose chase, except I knew it was wrong. Garmin tech wrote that when using the CityXplorer in the pedestrian mode, you have to walk “consistently” at 3 mph.

    I used to have the Garmin 260W. Was fairly happy with the performance. So when I saw this Nuvi with a traffic receiver, I thought it might be a good deal.

    This piece has so many issues:

    a) Sometimes switches off randomly (even when connected to the power outlet). Sometimes doesn’t switch on either.

    b) The touch screen is moody. Doesn’t become active sometimes. I have to wait for a while and try again to go through the menu

    c) And finally, the directions are so so wrong! It sends me to places where there is nothing. I mean nothing. It says we have arrived and I am thinking where the hell I am. It has happened many times. When I first experienced this problem, I called up Garmin and they updated my maps. Didn’t make any difference.

    I am planning to return this and get a new GPS. I am not sure if Garmin even did some testing of this unit. Just too many issues!

    I just moved to a new city and was constantly getting lost so I wanted to buy an easy-to-use GPS unit. I’ve never owned a GPS before so I can’t compare this product to others, but I was able to make good use of this unit within minutes of taking it out of the box. The touch display and menu navigation are quite user friendly. I’ve already noticed that sometimes it has trouble with certain details of navigating in my locale (for example, it doesn’t seem to realize that my home address is on an access-controlled expressway and thus does not provide instructions for taking and following the necessary exit). But I’ve noticed the same problem with the data on Google Maps so I think there must be limitations in the map data that both companies are using.
