Updates cannot be installed, return

Please note that this device is USED. It wasn't entirely clear to me and I ordered it without knowing it, but as soon as I got it I was ready to enjoy my used GPS. I plugged it into my computer and the app said it needed software updates and map updates which would take about 3 hours. I tried running the updates multiple times and each time it crashed after about 20 minutes. I looked at the non-updated device just to check.

Pros
  • Voice activation and pairing with a compatible GPS-enabled smartphone for hands-free calls, smart notifications and real-time traffic information via the Garmin Drive app

Pros
  • 5.5" Smart GPS with Borderless Display

  • Not bad, but...

1 star seller 5 star product UPDATE 9/17/20

This unit worked fine and had no issues. The USB cables had old-fashioned ends and didn't match the GPS. Micro ends are required on one end and USB on the other end. I contacted the seller and explained that I need to return 2 cables but not the GPS. He wanted pictures and I wanted him to send a return label to exchange 2 cables. Never heard from him again. Therefore, the seller rating is 1 star. GPS - 5 stars. You must purchase a traffic information power cord to receive traffic information. I

Pros
  • Simple on screen menus and bright crisp maps show 3D buildings and terrain
Cons
  • dull packaging
