1. Does the music (CD/BT/Radio) keep playing while using GPS? 2. How do I update the GPS maps? 3. Does the rear view camera work well during night?

1. Yes it keeps plaiyng. But you can make gps volume louder. Whebln someone rings it turns off sound. 2. Map and gps software are stored on sd card. You can extract it and update map. 3. Did not try to connect camera. Sorry.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

Gps is annoying, but u cant stob it from repeating. Thats a software issue, I guess its so you wont miss your turn. If your talking or lisining to the radio. Does that for a reason. I hope I helped. Its a great GPS.

The "maps" feature can be updated regularly by hooking it up to a computer and downloading the new map information. It appears that the memory inside the GPS does not have enough storage capacity for all of the map updates. At least that is what this person is saying was his/her experience. I haven't tried to update any maps yet, so I can't verify the Garmin's storage capacity. I can't imagine that it wouldn't have enough for at least one or two updates, but I have no personal knowledge.

I haven't really played with it, but I haven't been able to get video to play on it at all, but I'm sure i'm doing something wrong. I love the BT Audio with it. I just connect my i phone to it and play stream radio trough Jango.

The radio comes with the SD card (microSD actually) with the map info installed. The map was a little dated (2012), and this radio does not come with free updates. I purchased a year of map updates for $69 - http://www.navizon.com/ if I remember correctly. The location for the map updates is on the NAV screen when it comes up each time. The NAV screen is a little slow the first time it is selected each day (~30 seconds) but after that it comes up immediately (switching between radio, bluetooth, NAV).

Yes, the radio and stuff work while using the GPS. The GPS is on a memory chip and just replace with updated map chip to update maps. And I don't have a problem with the backup camera at night.

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.

I bought it for my wife. She loves the GPS but doesn't use the voice command. When talking to someone in the car, the GPS will join the conversation. Sorry I can't help with the voice command.

hi Bharatappreciate if you can please share how did you work it out! I am also facing the sismilar issue. I have used it & it worked but took a long long time (almost 15-20 mins) to get the GPS signals. Even after that it signals were showing half on its scale.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

I agree with the comments regarding GPS reception. I recently took this camera to NYC and was unable to get any GPS logging during my trip except when I was at the top of the empire state building! I thought this camera would do a better job than my Sony HX5V since the GPS is supposed to stay active even when the camera is off so I wouldn't need to wait so long when the camera is powered on to take a shot... no such luck. The HX5V still doesn't acquire a signal when indoors and takes a while to get a signal before each shot (when the reception is good), but I'd rather have it than the SX230HS as far as GPS tagging goes.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. The GPS is usable but I wouldn't buy it just for that. The detector is great and the GPS is a nice added feature. Hope that helps!

I drive truck, but still use an auto GPS. I was considering upgrading to a truck model before Christmas, but the prices for them wasn't discounted much. I did do a bunch of research, though. From everything I read, it sounds like none of the models are perfect, and some are a waste of money. The one that seems to have the least complaints, and a decent amount of features, was the Garman 465T.

I do not have the GPS add on on my radio, but when I do have a back up camera hooked up and it still plays music when the back up camera is on. I can even still change the station. So i imagine it would be the same with the GPS running.
