I purchased this GPS for my upcoming move to California from Pennsylvania. The GPS is very easy to use and the screen is more than enough for easy viewing. One feature that really persuaded me to purchase the product was the lifetime map updates. Other companies like Ford require you to pay $150 to update their navigation system, which is a complete rip off. The user interface of the GPS is simple to use and the touch screen is quite responsive. I would certainly recommend this to anyone thinking of purchasing a GPS for long trips.

I worked out of state for a few months and was using my phone for getting around. It got to be too complicated between answering calls, emails, and texts to sometimes get the navigation going. I bought this Garmin specifically for its size of the screen because I was able to easily pack it in my laptop bag when I flew. As far as use, it was easy to use and it was pretty accurate for giving you the best route even with detours. Since I had been in a specific area for some time I started to become familiar with it and when I used the GPS it would want me to take a different route that I knew would take longer. It was a challenge to get it to reroute and if I just drove the way I knew it would want me to turn around or continue to push me to use the route it provided. The features for food, gas, etc are a nice touch. I used these quite a bit on my drives mostly because it was so easy to find a place to eat or get gas in the middle of nowhere and add it to the route. At the end of the day it got me to where I needed to go without having to use my phone.

We were sad when our old Garmin finally stopped working. I thought about just getting it repaired but we were on a road trip and needed a GPS. So, we bought a new Garmin. Not the most expensive one, but a larger screen and what we thought would be similar features. Well, I am so glad we purchased this new one. It is so much easier to use , more features, and definitely more user friendly. It was a nice surprise for the price. We don't travel without our Garmin.

It works really well and the big display helps when driving. I had a small issue finding one place with it but everything else was spot on. The biggest thing I don’t like is doing the first update and how it teies to do the same update over and over and over again. I had to restart it 4 times before it recognized the update had been done.

I upgraded from a nuvi 40LM. The six inch screen makes all the difference in the world. I am a Garmin fan and this unit does not disappoint. Like that it speaks street names. Like that it shows speed and posted speed and goes red when you exceed posted speed limit. It also gives you a heads up when a speed limit change is coming up. It was great that, using Garmin express, I was able to transfer all my favorites from one device to another. Saved me a lot of time. Updating maps is a breeze with Express. Very simple and intuitive.
