Garmin uses the same accessories for quite a number of models. ie. mounts it would help if cobra did the same. Mounts and power options. from Amazon.com This is certainly the worst product I have used in recent memory. It was given to me by my brother, who bought it in hopes of upgrading his aging TomTom, but found that the Cobra was pretty much useless, despite its advertised improvements (Voice to Text, Bluetooth, etc.). He gave it to me with a snicker; he was feeling guilty about selling it on Ebay to someone else. from Amazon.com I opened the box, took the unit and examined it. Wow.....a nice 5" screen. The power cord plugs in at the bottom of the unit....im thinking that it is a great for mounting it on a custom holder in my sports car. The cable runs on the bottom so it would look slick in my sports car. from Amazon.com This system is very good. Cobra did a great job in making a GPS for people who drive a lot. The features this unit has is what sets it apart from the others. from Amazon.com (Cobra DECEMBER 12, 2007) today announced a major change in its mobile navigation strategy, ceasing all future development of mass marketed products. [.....] from Amazon.com I researched before taking the plunge on the Cobra 5000 GPS. Many early purchasers complained about "freezing" problems. from Amazon.com If you're lost ... click "Go Home" and the unit directs you to any location set as "Home". Lots of great features, millions of points of interest; the Real-Time Traffic Information can be accessed with separate purchase of a Traffic Data Receiver. I'm not disappointed that I did not have to pay for something I did not need/want right now. from Amazon.com I was able to use it for 30 minutes before it poped up a message stating that one of it's program modules had attempted to execute an illegle command. Since then that is all I get when I try to go to the map screen. Cobra tech support promised that a fix would be available on their website 4 days ago but it's not there and I'm just about to send it back to the seller. from Amazon.com (Cobra DECEMBER 12, 2007) today announced a major change in its mobile navigation strategy, ceasing all future development of mass marketed products.
