Very poor quality control

Pros: easy to use, battery lasts long enough for a day ride.
Cons: Serious lacking of Product Quality Control
This unit was designed by bikers, they say. Well it's true.. by bikers and not by engineers. It was not designed properly to substain the use on an extended period of time. I bought it in November 2007 together with a car mount. The electrical connections that transfer electricity from the vehicle battery to the unit worn out over the time and now they do not charge the GPS anymore. Both mounts (motorcycle and car) had exactly the same issue and by reading forums online it seems that hundreds of other users are experiencing this problem.The company does not offer replacement of such mounts as they are out of stock and it is very hard/expensive to find them on third party websites. Also I'm not sure I'd spend more money on a product that will brake again.Including the extra Europe map and the car mount I spent over 800 dollars just over 1 year ago. one bad investment.A serious company would have recalled the product even if out of warranty.
