Pros 1 - Very crisp and sharp display. 2 - Sturdy built 3 - Love the magnetic mount. No more fiddling to mount the GPS. I use Garmin friction mount for this and not windshield mount so not sure if it vibrates (read few complains on this) Cons 1 - Gets very hot in summer. I live in Arizona and it's so hot that you cannot touch it to unmount. 2 - On a cloudy day, it did not lock satellite signal for almost 40 miles of drive. Not acceptable. Hence deducted a star. 3 - Did not find a way to avoid tolls in my Navigation settings. 4 - It has just 200 MB space left after updating software (maps) ... not sure if that's enough for future (lifelong) updates. If you need a GPS ... I recommend this.

I got this GPS as a replacement when my previous Garmin had problems with the traffic cable. I looked at Garmin's website to see which one had the features I wanted and went with this one mainly because of the lifetime map and traffic updates. I like the features in here that tells you about things that are coming up such as railroad crossing, speed changes (downwards), and curves. The voice command feature is useful in case you need to change destinations while you are driving. They've also added other items to the voice command menu such as detours, which is good in case you see traffic up ahead that the GPS feels is not bad enough to cause an automatic reroute but you still want to go another way.

Purchased this to replace my old nüvi 360 which ran out of storage space for map updates. I picked it up just before my 1,100 mile drive to Florida, and as much as I loved my 360, this one blows it out of the water. Everything is amazing - information about your next turn, lane guidance, speed limits, live traffic, speed/red light camera warnings, speed limit change warnings, railroad crossing warnings, and much more. I love it.
