PC Miler PCM430 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Truck Navigator Decide Now

I bought this right when it came out in december 08 while with my trainer. I used it for my first solo trip and then the next 11 months after. It just stoped working last week. The low battery warning came on even tho the unit was plugged in. It powered off and now will not turn back on. Just replaced with a garmin 205 (99$ at walmart) that so far is impressing me. The garmin is nice because when looking at the directions it will tell you the exit numbers you will be taking to compare them to directions you get on qualcomm. The PC miler did not do this, also the pcmiler would freeze up and worst of all the maps weren't accurate. Many times it would show the ramp to change highways on the right when it would be on the left, or tell me to take 495 when it was really 95 it wanted me to take. The worst was a run to brooklyn I did..This thing got so damn confussed the route it gave basically went in circles all over, so I shut the navigation off and just looked at the map to figure it out on my own.
Besides those problems which are bad enough there were many other things I don't really care to remember. Two that stand out right away..with the copilot you have to manually pick the time zone you are in.. they list like 80 time zones and you have to scroll threw them all. Every time the battery dies you have to do this. Another is everytime you want to dim or brighten the screen you have to exit the whole navigation program. Then go back to it and reprogram your route after. The garmin automatically knows what time zone you are in at all times so you dont have to do anything. Also it has an automatic mode for the screen brightness. It will dim the screen slightly at dusk and then dim it all the way when the sun goes down. All this while still navigating I pretty much give up on truck specific GPS systems, Just buy a cheap garmin for cars and cross reference with your atlas while you use it. If the garmin puts you on a parkway or something just add a waypoint or two until it keeps you on the roads you want to be on.
