    Good color and clarity, voice is clearly heard, finds desired location,only had it a few weeks so cannot comment on how long it will last, only drawback so far is window suction cup, it is useless, it will not hold the Garmin,should buy another way to anchor it. would buy it again.

    good maps and directions, wimpy alerts

    This Garmin unit was intended to replace/supplement an older Magellan unit. Both units have “lifetime” map updates with traffic alerts. It seemed the Garmin maps were a little more accurate or more up to date, based on a trial drive. Where the Garmin outperformed the Magellan seemed to be in its voice directions. Where the Magellan would simply say “at the next intersection turn right” and prompt the turn with a musical “ding-ding,” the Garmin unit says something like “turn right at the stop sign,” and darned if there wasn’t a stop sign at the intersection, just like the unit said. But for the traffic alerts, the Garmin unit only issues a mild tone if the driver exceeds the posted speed limit (and shows the speed highlighted in red, which requires the driver to look at the unit) whereas the Magellan unit says “Warning!” followed by a sharp “ding,” so it really catches your attention without needing to look at the screen. The Garmin unit does have a slot on the back for a microSD memory card to store route information, and according to the manufacturer the unit can also be used as a display screen when driving in reverse using a proprietary backup camera (expensive). For its points of interest data, Garmin uses TripAdvisor while the Magellan uses AAA. Destinations can be entered using address or a point of interest for either unit. As of now, the wimpy traffic alert for the Garmin keeps it from totally replacing the Magellan.

    Our old Garmin "died" while we were traveling over 2,000 miles and we could not get a replacement battery. So we bought a new one and we're glad we did. It has much better features, more features than the old one and the voice is not aggravating.
