I bought one for my wife, to replace one that no longer holds a charge. Screen has improved over last 5 years, and database and programming are better.
Garmin support still sucks. They don't stock repair parts, so don't plan on replacing batteries, etc. All in all the units are very good.

Turn by turn directions without having to use your data. Nothing beats that.

Works well but I prefer my Waze app on the phone. Helps save on data though.

I had an older model Garmin similar to this one that I replaced. This new model has more memory. It has all of the features that I need and it works good. And I like that I get lifetime map updates with this one.

I like this device for the price ($99) It was a replacement for a device that was previously stolen. Although it serves its purpose, I would definitely get the upgraded model that offers voice control and a few more other options.

Bought this for my daughter and while she likes it she prefers my older Nuvi model. She says that it is easier to navigate the menus and the overall operation is much better. Looks like I'll be using it soon enough and she'll be getting the Nuvi.

My new Garmin GPS is the 3rd one I've gotten within the last few days. The first 2 were returned due to malfunction, where they would not always power on. This third one has given me unrealistic driving directions twice already. If/when I decide to return it, it will be my last attempt with this brand.

Bigger than a cell phone screen and has lots of additional safety checks such as school zone, deer crossing and other warnings to assist drivers with potential safety related issues. Although GPS may be dated device I still find it very useful for traveling to new destinations

Loved this Garmin except that in crucial moments, like in cities, it turns itself off when it gets confused. It will keep talking once u restart it, but will not show the road map .

I got this GPS no to long ago, and put it to use last week going to Oregon and performed flawless, I like it very much but I really need to get a sand bag for it because the lack of room in between the dashboard and windshield on my jeep wrangler, otherwise is great
