I purchased this unit as an upgrade to the Garmin StreetPilot c340 and I couldn't be happier! There were two reasons why I decided to upgrade to Cobra. First, when taking a trip into New York City, the Garmin went completely haywire telling me to make a left turn over and over, therefore making it useless in cities. Second, on that same trip I was meeting my sister who drove in using her old Cobra GPS and she had no problem reaching our destination. Since purchasing the Cobra I've made several trips into the city and it never loses it's signal or gives me incorrect directions.
There are some minor issues but I don't consider them a huge deal. It simply may have something to do with updating the unit. Twice it took me down streets that were dead ends. The streets were intended to be extended but construction was never completed. The only other problem I had was when I was in the city and it was due to the me choosing the wrong option. It kept instructing me to take a major highway vs. the city streets. I finally realized that I had programmed the GPS to use major highways instead of local roads. Now I know to choose local roads while driving in cities. This unit has a lot of options, such as time of arrival and/or time left to your destination. It finds business' easily, especially compared to the Garmin, and you can choose to have certain locations displayed on the map, such as restaurants, gas stations, etc. These options are great for long trips. I love this unit and will never go back to Garmin.Get more detail about Cobra GPSM 4000 Nav One Mobile Navigator.
