However, to make it useful I would have to purchase at least 1 database for almost $100 and a larger memory card for $30. In my opinion, not such a great deal.

I discovered after buying it that the maps were very expensive ($300). And Garmin does all it can to prevent open source mapping applications from accessing the internals of their devices. So I used it without a map. It would at least help me get back to my hotel every night. The warranty on the unit is only 1 year. This is absurdly short for a premium priced product. The keypad failed on my unit shortly after the warranty expired. After a 25 minute wait on the phone for customer service (that's service?) the woman on the phone informed me that the cost to swap my unit for a functional gps would be $150!!!!! That is WAY more than half the amount I payed for the the unit in the first place. I took meticulous care of this GPS. For example, the plastic is still attached to the LCD screen to prevent scratches! Yet it failed. I have never owned a Garmin product before and am now very dubious about their quality control. And I am extremely unhappy with their customer service. I plan on spending a great deal of time and effort getting out the word on their customer service.
