This is my second Garmin, my first Garmin was a gift, I loved it! I took it everywhere. Then my maps ran out so I renewed them. It was expensive (over $50). Recently my Maps again expired and when I went online to see if perhaps the price had gone down, (since new ones came with lifetime maps) sadly the cost was the same. So I bought a new Garmin with Lifetime Maps (cheaper than continuously paying for map updates--a lifetime Map update for my old Garmin was only $5 less than the price of a new Garmin. My old Garmin still works great (the maps are expired). I like my new Gatmin, but it wasn't able to give me directions to get out of my friend's neighborhood. It kept saying proceed to the highlighted route. The screen did not show a highlighted route. I had to call a friend for directions. I did like that my new Garmin actually read out the street names, my old one would say, turn right in 100 ft. The new one says turn right on Main St. I also like how it provides me with a picture of exit ramp lanes when I'm driving on the highway.

Easy to use out of the box, large screen easy to see, easy to in put address. Like the extra features shopping saving where you are at. Like the favorite choice. Good for the young drivers in the house, they don't have to use there phone as a gps, and can have there phone off while driving, nice safty feature.
