    We got it for Christmas and just used it the first time yesterday and it all seems pretty good. If I could change something it would be that the compass direction stayed on the screen all the time, rather than having to select it from other options. The other would be that the address book was on the main screen, rather than having to make a couple clicks to get to it.

    Works great. Lots of nice updates since my prior Garmin unit. Fortunately the basic operations have not changed a lot and the unit is still very easy to work with. Lifetime maps are always a plus. Points of Interest have certainly expanded.

    The gps is wonderful. It has many useful features and has not steered me wrong. The alerts and pictures of the exit signs help direct you to the right lane prior to needing to get off. Also has a nice alert feature for fatigue. Made my trip from NY to Austin flawless.

    Bought this to replace a Garmin that died. Easy to set up out of the box. Accesses satellite quickly and it was easy to update maps via the internet. Maps seem to be up to date. Minor complaints - no male voice and no way to enter need to detour.

    I bought this for my son who delivers pizzas. Cell coverage is spotty but he needed a tool that he could count on. This works great! Very easy to operate right from the start. I’m glad for the free map updates also. It’s perfect for what our son needed. I recommend it.

    Overall, this device works well and is easy to use. It gives accurate information. Occasionally the Garmin will not find an address (which is found on Google Maps) which is frustrating. Otherwise, this works according to expectations.

    This is now the 5th Garmin GPS I've owned (the last being stolen on a trip to Europe!). It's probably my favorite, as it has proven dependable, and easy to use. The "new" features showing amenities along the road has been helpful on several occasions. A definite winner! Inexpensive and functional, without too many bells and whistles that (from past experiences with more exotic machines) don't seem to frustrate...
