New 1460 owner reporting in...
actually, not that new though, ive had my 1460 since this december...
ok...heres my story...
a day after i bought my 1460 from a shop in lowyat, i took it fer a test from klang (as i live in klang) to seri kembangan (via Kesas)...upon to my horror, the unit shut down about 100-200meter from entering the first toll booth from klang...i only manage to turn it on back again when i was about 50meter out from the booth...as i thought at first it might be cause im using smart-tag, so second kesas toll i move to cash lane, only to found the same thing happened again...fer the third toll (Kompleks Sukan Negara one),i attach the power adapter, only this time, the unit didnt shut down completely as in both occasion before, instead, it jes restart itself...and the unit will continue to restart until im about 50meter, again, away from the booth...
attempt to return unit or get back cash redemption from the seller even a WEEK later !!?, failed...communication to AECO via email, also deemed failed...frustrated by the seller 'arrogance' and their failure to mention about this 'defect', i went to ministry of internal trade and consumer to file a complaint...actually,
...the whole journal entry of my 'misery' i did posted somewhere in a forum (though it is in Malay language), so in case you interested n have a lot of spare time, PM me and i gave ya da link...^_^
so, in the end, knowing the ministry wont do me any good neither i jes decide to play-on...i did my map n firm upgrade through garmin's official website...the reason why i didnt come here(mfm) in the first place is because the seller initially told me that my 1460 wont fit MFM's map, so as a nOOb, of course i totally 'buy' what he says meh!?...until recently i went to Muar, and lose face to my friends cause my 1460 didnt show some of the roads there, instead, my GMXT did...in fact, in VERY DETAILED !!!...last week I went back home and even though the Garmin's official website told that my 'piece' is already up-to-date (that time my 1460 still with v2.20 and both 2009's map), further googling i found Garmin SG and realized theres actually still more update available !!? (v2.40 and both 2010map)...
have my unit updated with both, and again try to look fer those roads i missed in Muar, and,
, the roads still not there...am gettin confused as i thought GMXT n 1460 shared the same map...look into the detailed of mapsource of my GMXT only to my surprised that it actually use MFM-Garmin 091228 and MFM POi 091228...and so...here I am...
errr...Hello guys?...
p/s: following the v2.40 update, my unit didnt shutdown anymore...
