I would have thought with a "new" purchase, your unit would have been relatively up to date. As of this writing, the latest version is V0084 (Aug 19, 2010). Your version dates back to 2009. THAT, I find strange. As for alerts, I get a couple alerts each day on my routine route to and from work. But if I change routes, that can double or triple. It totally depends on what (if anything) users and the Trinity database have recorded. In some areas, I have driven for hours without a "peep" as you noted. In other areas, I want to pull the plug because of the frequency of alerts. But maybe, that's just me! Try driving outside your normal routes to see if you pick anything up. If not, there may be something wrong with your particular unit. Then give Cheetah a call. Both Don and Al are fantastic at customer service. If your experience is like mine has been, you won't be disappointed.
Good luck!
