Works well - when it works2008-04-10
The traffic receiver works as described, but the slow blow fuses started to blow (and finding proper replacement was rather annoying, as Radio Shack fuses would blow one after the other. Also, the cord began to fray after months of use due to rolling it over the cradle when hiding the GPS gear from prying eyes. Eventually, the receiver died after only 6 months of using. Had to call Garmin and obtain and RMA/ send it back for a replacement, which was not too much of a hassle. Otherwise, when it worked was picking up MSN Direct signal signal fairly consistently in NYC Metro area - even while hidden inside the console of my car. Do not recommend rolling the wire as it becomes frayed, and don't know where to get the fuses when the orignial blows. Can't give more than 3 stars because of durability issues though.

This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
