    This Garmin could not pick up a signal. When it did it would drop off while driving. It finally failed completely while in town. Geek Squad couldn't get it to pick up a signal while standing in the store. Traded it in and got the next better unit.

      My apologies about the confusion. This device is designed to acquire satellites when outdoors with a clear view of the sky. If you have any issues with your new device this link includes great information about what to do if the GPS isn’t acquiring satellites: http://bit.ly/2oWxEuC Garmin

    I don’t like the display, it’s the same technology like 30 years ago. You need a computer to upgrade the maps, and garmin don’t give you full map in this unit. They give you life time upgrade, but in other units you have more states.

    I may be prematurely rating this Garmin, but it seems to need more steps to set it up. Time is my problem...I need this Garmin to show Traffic conditions...This model does not, like my old Garmin, I purchased 15 years or so ago. The instruction book seems a bit involved in proceedures to set it up, but be prepared to follow proceedures to achieve your desired settings. I am sure it will work as I desire, but time will be needed to get your settings working.
