Magellan Roadmate 360 Problems

I purchased a Magellan Roadmate 360 a few days ago, but am having tremendous
problems getting it to work. The manual is pretty hopeless. The PDF file
has no index. My questions are probably trivial to one who knows, but
frustrating to me! It seems to be working, but...

1. Regions: I got a second unneeded Region installed, and don't know how to
get rid of it. Help please!

2. I unintentionally entered a wrong address - I cannot now get rid of it.
How do I do that?

3. I seem to have my home address in it, but how do I insert an address to
go to and have it guide me? Trivial, right? All these basic operations are
not clear to me though I am expert enough at PCs.

Can anyone help? Is there a decent description for a beginner? They do not
answer their phone, nor have I had a reply to an E-Mail inquiry. Might
Garmin be better?

Here is a good review I found that has screen shots and stuff.

I have my own review at http://magellan360.blogspot.com/.

I am surprised you are having so many problems. You should just
exchange with your retailer if you have got a bad unit . For me it
worked fine so far,

My 80-year old PC-illiterate Mom works hers just fine, with only minor
help from us at first. Deleting an entry was no biggie. Dealing with
regions was no problem once the concept was accepted.
That's not much help, but I don't have it here. It's possible yours
has a problem. All those refurbs on ebay have to come from somewhere :)
