Hi, I have the same unit and agree, it's not from ebay, and it's not cheap. Agreed with the pros, and divx playback through USB is a big plus for me to keep the little one entertained during long trips. I haven't had this issue, however i use an ipod for all the music and it has never skipped a track. Had the unit locked once that I remember. Did a reset and all back and running. What happened to me once was losing all the data on the microSD card. Don't know why, all lost/corrupted. It always pays off to have a backup. I even carry a backup on my phone's SD card (I know! too much!!) Same issue here, and map runs on the background unless you turn it off. However, I just turn on the car, keep the ipod or a movie running and no issues at all. Usually I'm not searching for music. Even during video playback, you can still listen to the driving directions. Some times it does, some times it doesn't. Can't explain the different situations, but I have tested it and it does. Haven't found a pattern yet. I tried this with my previous WinMo phone and it was fine. Haven't tested it with the iPhone, will do. Agreed. Let me know if you hear from Easypark about a firmware upgrade. I'll be interested. Anybody with this unit tried to run any other GPS software?
