    Got us were we had to go, never lost again. Although the website they tell you to use is not good. My virus protection will not let me on this site. Hope the site is updated in the future.

    This was my first GPS and I used it for a long trip. It was really easy to learn. I made a few changes to how it suggested I go and it quickly rerouted to match where I wanted to go. I like it.

    We have owned a number of Garmin units throughout the past 10 years. This unit gives very clear driving instructions, much better than some in the past. Still requires you to connect to the internet to get it started and updated so that takes a bit of time before you can get started.

    I purchased this GPS unit for my father who is a city commercial driver. He loves the unit and raves about the information it provides on his routes (traffic cameras and speed zones) and its accuracy.

    I bought this to replace my old one. It's not too big as to be a distraction. I like how it gives directions. The price was right since I purchased it with my points.

    My stepfather is still using this and it helps him get to his destinations just like Google Maps would, but he’s not tech savvy, hence this GPS.

    After hurricane Michael hit in the pan handle, we had a number of people without power or cell service. These units came in handy for those going to assist in the recovery efforts!!

    Had some problem changing to different destination. No sure that I have “home” set. Easy to follow directions. Not sure it is always the shortest route.

    Was on a business trip when my GPS froze. Stopped into to get a new one. This ready to operate right out of the box. Just the small amount of time it took to run into the store and out.

    I arrived in Los Angeles, and never had navigated highway traffic like it. My old GPS input/charger connection was broken. I looked over the available sale models. I chose a smaller model, my car is compact . Right out of the box, the unit directed me to the highway, prompted lane changes, immediately rerouted me if I was unable to catch an exit. I'm alive and very pleased with my purchase.
