So far I like it. Very easy to use, just plug and play. I have no use for lane departure and other safety alert features, so I can't comment. It gives you tons of info on playback, location(Lat/Long), speed, Gforces incurred, time/date stamp, altitude and much more. I wouldn't leave it in your window during hot days as it does have a Li battery and they will swell.
Positives: GPS, easy to use, takes up to a 128g card very good daytime pics. Suction cup mount is secure and very well made. Plug it in and it starts recording. Mivue Manager app is packed with info and features.
Negatives: Night pics are not that great, but still decent. No on off button for recording sound. Field of view is a bit smaller than others, but it shows everything I need.
We live in Panama, where drivers are more than a little aggressive and unpredictable. In the case of an accident (haven't had one, yet, thank goodness), it is very common to try to blame the "gringo". A camera is therefore a necessity, to be able to prove what really happened. I got a big SD card so shouldn't run into recording problems.
This camera gives a picture detailed enough to capture license plate numbers. I'm sure the GPS coordinates would come in handy as well, although it hasn't come up. Recording the speed can be a double edged sword, of course ...
I really haven't worried about the other features - at some point I should take the time to sit down in the car and try everything out.
Very highly recommended!
However, within 2 weeks after mounting the dashcam, it just started falling off the mount like crazy. The first time seriously freaked me out since it just came crashing down and banged against a plastic part of my car while I was in the middle of driving.
To clarify: I have mounted the camera correctly, exactly according to instructions. The suctioned part stays on perfectly fine, but the part where you actually slide and adjust the camera to the holding apparatus is where it keeps falling off.
-I initially thought this may have been a product of the elements expanding and becoming loose due to extreme heat (110+ where I live during the summer), but it fell just the same in 60 degree (Fahrenheit) weather.
-The camera falling also doesn't seem to be affected by the speed at which I'm driving. It's fallen off at speeds over 60 MPH on the highway, and has fallen off at speeds around 20 MPH or below when driving in a neighborhood or school zone.
-It falls literally every single day I drive at least once, often twice.
-I've tried remounting it to no avail. The only way to keep the thing on is to adjust it at a really awkward angle so that gravity won't pull it down as much (but then you can't really capture the road well).
I honestly feel like this dashcam will jeopardize my safety and CAUSE me to get into an accident because of the constant falling and crashing, rather than protect me and my insurance in the event of a collision. How ironic!
I contacted Magellan customer service via their website, and they responded within 48 hours. Unfortunately all of their suggested corrections failed to correct the issue. I have contacted them again and hopefully they will send me a replacement unit.
Another annoyance with the unit are the power and function buttons. They are too accessible and sensitive, which makes accidental pressing of them, say when you're trying to adjust the camera's position, far too easy.
The seller was fantastic.
It's Magellan's product that is terrible.
