I had a Magellan Roadmate 760 GPS unit. It was good, but it was pretty bulky and the mounting cradle was unstable. I ordered the new maps ($80) for the Roadmate 760 unit. Once I received the map DVD, I started the update process. The map update process didn't complete and I was left with a non functional unit. Restarting the unit didn't work and there's no way to reset the unit back to factory setting. I found by Googling that lot of people had the same issue (map update) with that unit. I then called Magellan support. The call went to their support center in India. The support person asked me the series of questions they were told to ask and then transferred me to a tech specialist. He asked me the same set of questions and then told me that their system to generate the return authorization was down and told me to call back the next day. I read in the forums that most of the people got the same statement from the Magellan tech. I then called the support again the next day and the call again went to India. The support guy asked me the same set of questions again and then transferred me again to the tech supervisor. She then generated a RA# and gave me the address to where I was told to send the unit. I had to pay for the shipping.
