my area has the green over it and since i installed the unit in my new car it does not pick up any towers it just says connecting. I am going to have to say that it is a failure of a product

Failure to search.

While I can Sympathize, I have to Disagree. It is an Advertised Feature, He should need to do nothing more than follow the manual to get it to work.

Its like saying you have to search this forum just to get a DVD working. It is an advertised feature, it should work out of the box with no problem

it goes beyond working right. the traffic seems not to be up to date the rest of the stuff i did not really get into too much because the place in the truck was not as good as my new car. i will reset and see if it is better but not much hope there. seems garmin god end of this with all the extra options they got.

MSN Direct is real bad. I would not pay for it.

Not worth the money

You know what they say about opinions and a certain body part...

I found MSNDirect to be worthless, too. Combined with the fact that I really didn't need DVD playback, I returned my 900BT, and got a 700BT instead. I'm happy to have saved the $175 price diff, and the satin finish matches my console better than the piano finish of the 900, as well.

Oh yeah. I get better FM/HD reception now that I don't have to Y the antenna to both the HU and the HD module.

I agree with this, the movie and gas station data is miles away from where i am at and i live in central jersey. i could be parked in the theatre parking lot and it is giving me movies in the Bronx. Not in Jersey. I was starting to think it was just me. I doubt i will renew it when the trial runs out.

I live near Charlotte, NC and while Charlotte is full green on the msndirect maps my particular area is a bit spotty, but I knew that going in.

But I love this feature, and paid for the lifetime subscription.

I use it everytime I get gas, and the gas prices are always accurate - that alone pays for the service. The traffic feature has rerouted me around at least a dozen major traffic accidents.

The wife and I also wanted to go see Slumdog Millionaire a few weeks back, and used the headunit to find the closest theater since it wasn't playing at the one by our house.

Your mileage may vary, obviously, but for some it's a great feature.

Ive had to reset the unit since it just wouldnt connect to the service, but it has got me around 1 traffic jam once, which was nice, though the area i live it doesnt have weather, movies or gass, just traffic, but im in the middle of San Fran and Sac, both places i go to often, and both have great service there from what I can tell.

Oh yea...it also found me a gass station when i was on E, but i gues I can find that on any nav

MSN Direct Works beautiful in Orlando, FL! Buying a year subscription.

Fully covered in San Diego!

Nashville, TN is fully green on the coverage map - even the outlying areas.. Service really stinks though - from the outlying areas to the heart of the city. When i called, they said it might be clouds! Oh, it was beautiful that day.
