Super Navi - price a little high

First of all, I can not understand the many bad reviews for 3597 and 3598.
The 3598 is identical to the 3597 except that the 3598 traffic over DAB + has.

The Navi came to order at Amazon over 1 day.
Unfortunately, the packaging of Amazon this time was abysmal, one would have the Navi can take out of the package without further ado, as the side tabs of the package were not locked.

The Navi but was new and not yet used, although the film on the device had 2-3 bubbles.

The installation was easy and I was afraid, since many users report that the updates do not work, take a long time, etc.

Navi unpacked - with PC (WIN7) and Garmin Express downloaded and installed.
It was found a software update for the operating system and for the card.
Showing it to me, that the update would take about 3 hours but was after about 1,5 hour done (DSL 16,000), ie than 15 - 30 hours what other users report here. Update was made at 17:00 clock, not at night and there were no problems detected during installation.

I have ordered the same a 8GB microSD card and pushed into the device before the update.
The Navi swallows all micro SD and micro SDHC cards, has therefore also not written as a different user that it is limited to 4GB. I use a 8 GB, but there have also tried with a 16 GB, which has also worked.
Here you need to find the maps to update an SD card, which is not there.
Here Garmin should upgrade because a good microSD card will cost only 5-8 euros - should therefore be included.
The price for the 4GB card in the Garmin shop for ~ 16.00 euros is far too expensive. At Amazon, I bought the 8GB for 6 euros.

So now for the practical test:

Overall, I reeled already about 1000 km with it and it works flawlessly

+ (Positive)
- Very fast installation
- GPS found very quickly
- Clear and loud message
- Map is easy to read
- Elegant appearance
- Mount with magnet very well and holds bombproof and can be easily removed again
- Good Lane Assistant

- (Negative)

Accompanied by a little pricey and no SD card for updates -
- Thick cable with separate wire antenna (antenna I left still works)
- POI's not individually selectable - at least I have not found it yet
- Speed ​​Warner from 1km over the displayed speed - just annoying and is only an on / off, but can not be set, for example, from 5 or 10km warn.
- State of the updates not comprehensible;
eg hands with us for 5 years, a one-way street - machine but still shows the one-way street to.
An approximately 1 year since changed speed limit from 100 to 70 km will be still indicated with 100 km.

Overall, I find the device very well, but by about 20-30% too expensive.

OK, the device looks elegant and works very well - it is here a certain effect a musthave.
Still have a Nuvi 1450T, which is much cheaper and also works reliably, but not as good looks and expensive kostenplichtige updates required.
