My wife has one in her new Liberty. It is great. The only reason I don't have one in my Rubicon, is the fact that there are no Topographical maps available for it.
Probably going with a Garmin Nuvi 760.

We ordered ours with a MyGIG unit and would do it again. While it doesn’t have “trails” in the maps it does have a lot of the dirt Fire Roads out here in Arizona. Also, you can map trails that aren’t on the map (I haven’t used this feature yet). You can’t currently download maps to it yet - but it would just be a software upgrade to do it.

I never thought I would use the My Gig system that much and wanted to save the money but got a great deal on one that included the MyGig.
Now I can't imagine not having it. I absolutely love it. I have downloaded over 50 cd's and have pictures downloaded. MyGig is way better than the one in my 2007 Denali.
I say definitely order the MyGig. You won't be disappointed.

I too am on the "Should I get MyGig?" fence. Although I'm months away from pulling the trigger, the obsession has already started.
I've read the MyGig manual (sorry I'm a geek). What I can't determine is how it handles playlists for your loaded MP3s. I currently have a Rockford Omnifi in both of our vehicles and love it. I can load up existing playlists or create and save them on the fly from the unit. I use a \All Media\Artist\Album\song.mp3 directory structure.
From what I could tell about MyGig was that it created Playlists based on folder structure. Is that true? Or can I say, manually pick 3 songs from a Metallica album, along with some Bare Naked Ladies from 2 other album and through in some John Denver for good measure and save that as a playlist (albeit an odd combination)?
The other thing I can do is start from the root (All Media) level and play all of that suffled which will play all the songs loaded on my device randomly. Does MyGig support something like that?

It doesn't work right now but it gives me an 800 Sirius number to call and activate it. I haven't done this yet. The SATV tab appeared after I downloaded and installed an update that was in another thread on this site. You should search for it and download and install the update. It allows you to not have to push the "Accept" button everytime you start the Jeep and also has more legible road labels.
