    First of all, I have to thank Best Buy for standing behind their extended warranty. I have owned 3 previous GPS's, each one failing before the extended warranty expired (two Magellan's went bad very quickly; my previous Garmin lasted over 2 yrs.

    If it was refurbished, they did a good job. It appeared new to me, and has worked flawlessly. They program is slow to give up on a route it has figured if you deviate from the path, but I can easily tell it to stop and refigure.
