Only worked for 7mos:
I bought this unit new from a vendor through amazon. after seven months, its quit operating saying battery critically low... i went through on the hoops, resetting the unit and even installing a new battery and it continues to be un-usable with this error message. For the amount of money paid for the new unit, it is just unacceptable. I really like the ease of use and features better than other models out there that i have tried, tom-tom, etc. However when quality and reliability is so very poor, its just... more info

You get more than you pay for:

Short life span, don't waste your money:
I have only had the 3100 for one year with infrequent use. Now it will not start up even though it is getting power.

They suggest that you buy a new one after one year which I will do, but it will not be a Magellan product.
