No problem with directions. Power cord has a tendency to shake lose on occasion.

We have had no trouble with the advance notice of when to turn. Usually "she" starts telling us at least a mile in advance.

Actually, I answered this question just a few minutes ago without realizing that I don't own THIS particular model (RV9165T-LM 7-inch RV). I own the Roadmate 4255-T (I think that's the model...may be the 4245). So I guess the voice prompts to make a turn being LATE (after the turn SHOULD have been made or after the turn was ALREADY made) is not a model specific problem...it's a Magellan issue in general!

I just got back from a two week vacation of traveling with it and only had problems with trying to find locations more than 100 miles away other than that it worked great

I have not encountered that problem. It alerts me a little more than 1/2 mile before turn then keeps me posted every so often until the turn. Wish I could give u more insight.

Every once in a while I must make a turn based upon the visual display, as the voice prompts to make the turn actually occur AFTER I would have PASSED the turn or after I have already MADE the turn.

Not at all, you want to go to set up a reset all settings to manufactures setting. I have had to do this twice when I was settings for my RV turned something off. After resetting all worked good again. Hope I helped.

Just took a 3300 mile trip and missed a few turns because of road conditions or not waiting for the tone when more than one turn was available. On Interstate highways I learned to wait to change lanes until seeing highway signs or the screen telling how many lanes would be available on the designated route. Am very pleased with the unit and especially the points of interest data base.

are you sure you replaced the senor that was not working? I used onstar to diagnose my problem then looked up the code they gave me on Google to identify if it was the driver side or the passenger side sensor that was malfunctioning.

Both myself an a neighbor had this unit (the one before the recall and I never turned mine in) and we both had the problem of it appearing to not come on soon after purchasing. The solution for both of us was to turn the knob to the preferred setting and *never* use the knob again; only turn it on or off by plugging/unplugging the unit.

Slowing a bit, yes. It has not been greatly noticeable though. Seeing as this was made in China, there can be defects from one unit to another. I would contact seller for a replacement.

Hitting the mode button should cycle between 'km/h' and 'mph' every time you press the button. I assume you are doing this after pushing the "All Clear" button, and if so, sounds like your unit isn't working properly. Only other thing I can think of is make sure the battery is good. I have three of these units by the way, on 3 bikes. Just replaced one that turned itself off in mid-ride and close to impossible to start up again.

Amen to the bell sound turn indicator.It is dead on one of the handiest features on any gps unit.All others should provide this feature.When the unit dings,you are exactly at your turn.

you might have to try again. It took me several tries to get the key fob in sync and working properly. take your time and do it carefully

Mine took a little while to turn on. You need to press hard on the power button

Try turning the knob on the gas tank just one quarter turn not all the way open. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

You will need to change change the settings to low freq instead of Hi-freq in the steering wheel option... text me if you haven't figured out yet 682-710-9072

Make sure it say auto on the screen. You get it to do that by holding the front plate down. Until it moves from "man" to "auto"

It may be defective. My unit responds to every letter, albeit a bit slowly.

I believe it wok fine when it is an OBDII. The biggest drawback to it is that when you turn off the key for about 3 minutes, the mpg resets and starts over. Seem to work well other than that.

yes it should having to wait because the sensor does not recognize the key, itis like a miss fire. it is starting to go bad mine did the same thing. it was like that for 1.5 years then just locked up. SO I HAD TO PICK THE LOCK TO CHANGE IT, IT IS EASIER TO CHANGE WHILE IT IS STILL TURNING. LOL.

Sounds like you haven't connected the braking wire. I suggest grounding it instead of connecting it properly so you can watch videos while in drive.

There is a long lag time in the auto mode. That is the only mode I have used.
