+jjpooter&crew Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We bought this gps specifically because it came with the comprehensive world map. On their website, Magellan claims that "The World Edition map allows for 2D or 3D viewing angles. It includes a complete road network in United States, Canada, Western Europe, and Australia and major roads throughout the rest of the world and provides cartographic orientation in almost any location." That is from the website. When we got to our Canadian location, we had no maps. We thought it was us. It was not. We tried everything, and then we called Magellan and spoke with a nice lady in the Phillipines who could not help. We are furious about the misleading advertisement. Angry. They lied. After all that, we called Magellan again when we did not get a call back as promised by the lady in the Phillipines. After some hold time, I was told that this was a glitch that they were working on. I asked why their website said they provided the maps when they didn't, and I wasn't given an answer. I am curious if anyone else has had this experience with the 610. I will be calling again soon to get my maps, but until then, I am using some free maps I found. I am amazed that they didn't send me the map package. Any suggestions how to fix this? Thanks.

+The_Incredibles_ Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yikes. Never bought one of these myself. I use opensource maps which work great for my area. Any way to return this GPS? Quote Link to comment
+ryan3295 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If you are so unhappy with it return it. Sounds like you did not do much research before buying. Quote Link to comment

If claims are made on the product website that are not true then the problem is with the manufacturer. They sure be putting correct information on their website. Quote Link to comment
tr_s Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Sounds like you did not do much research before buying. That sounds like the exact opposite of what s/he did to me... faulty information on the product website = manufacturer or reseller the only one to blame. The poster should at the very least be able to return it for a refund no questions asked, or alternatively get the missing maps for free. Quote Link to comment

We did oodles of research...annoyingly so. We read reviews. We compared. We went, handled them, left, went back, handled them again. It was literally months of reading. We trusted the company and its claims. And when we called, they were not helpful. They didn't have an answer. How is that? We like the product and the way it works OTHER THAN it doesn't have what it is supposed to. Blurg. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 That's why the vast majority of catchers nubby Garmin. Keep that in mind and if you can return your upgrade to Garmin Quote Link to comment
