Was given my unit as a present. Even though I had always said I would never use a GPS in my car, I have found it pretty useful and not too hard to operate. Probably had it about 4 years now and it will not charge properly now and of course the maps are totally out of date. I have not had any success getting updated maps or replace the battery. What do I do now? Chuck it in the bin or try to revive it? The touch screen is still working OK.
Does any body have any suggestions?
I do not live far from Uniden's Rockdale location but do not know if they handle repairs and updates.

Cant charge the device, cant get map updates. USB is not recognised. And why do I have to be on frigging facebook to be able to submit a query. It all sucks. My TomTom is much more user friendly. Would never recommend the uniden to anyone. Such a waste of money. I don't want to communicate with you, it's not been used much & it's a bleeding lemon

Dont waste your money . I Bought the latest model.IGO 500. Continually says recalculating route when it's not or there is no reason for it to be doing it. It takes a while to start unless its connected to the charger even when fully charged. Now it's just stopped working after 6 months. It comes on but there is nothing on the screen? The only places it can be serviced / repaired are are so far away I'll need to post it. Can't update the maps either.
Graphics are quite good .different options for finding places if you don't have an exact address
Not worth the money, after 6 months gone blank and won't work

The speed alert we use to limit going over the speed limit, gives false readings for side roads at 50 kph while you are travelling on a 80 kph 4 lane road. Uniden has said update maps. But this is a GPS function. The Speed limits are correct for the road, the false readings are there for a second then back to the 80kph.
Good options, 100% for speed alert, maps good
Speed Alert is out of alignment, reset unit occassionally

Bought three of these units. 2 failed to function after 12 months (just happens to be outside of warranty). I expect a product to last more than 12 months and not checking fine print didn't realise such a limited shoddy warranty was offered. Basically a rubbish product and any manufacturer that is not prepared to warranty their items for 3 years should be avoided. I have a fleet of vehicles and the rest have Navman. Even a trial of two super crappy Navigons from Woolworths out performed and outlasted the Uniden. I bought the top of line Uniden as well ($346 a pop). Never again

Rubbish product

Bought this unit as it seemed good value for money. The first unit was returned soon after for a faulty power input socket, Uniden replaced with a complete new package quickly. A year later I got similar results from the replacement unit plus the display also started playing up. It also has a poor display in daylight and it won't turn it on unless its been plugged in for around 10 minutes at least. Ours only gets used occasionally. Would not recommend this unit unless it has had serious updates.
Thin unit, 3D maps were interesting...
substandard display in daylight, power input sockets faulty, twice.
