My experience is with the Garmin aviation units so I will only comment on 
the
treatment you have received. I've done all of my upgrades and updates via 
the
Garmin web site and have been happy with the service - i.e. not having to 
deal
with people. At the airshows where Garmin has had a display I have been less
than impressed with their marketing droids, but their web service has always 
been
a first rate experience.
