    This Garmin GPS worked very well from the very beginning. After I picked out the best priced gps, I purchased it. I use it on my travels for work.

    I bought this as a backup for my phone. I just returned from a week of travel in the Miami, Ft Lauderdale area. This little gem took me exactly where I needed to go! Love it!

    This one replaced my 6 year old Garmin and has many new features like Red Light Camera warning. Battery barely keeps it going for 10 minutes once unplugged.

    Drove from Michigan to across Southwest, TX and CO with zero trouble. I had looked for a long time before purchasing it. Glad I waited a bit because I got it on sale. Easy to use.

    My GPS was stolen from my car. I use this item for work, so needed a new one right away. I was lucky enough to get the last of 2 remaining. I had it ready to go for the next morning.

    Got this GPS for my daughter so she would have one to help her get around. She went to College (University Of Findlay, OH). 8 hours from home. I know this will come in handy.

    I was going to get the more expensive model but I went with this one and happy I did. I've been a Garmin customer for many years and love the lifetime free updates unlike the competition

    They have made changes to unit that have made it easier to use. Also eliminated the unit from saying recalculating every time you altered your route.

    Purchased this to use on a cross country trip. It would randomly stop working which caused some panic as we were in the middle of the trip. After fiddling with it we finally got it to turn back on.

      Sorry about the panic. Normally these issues are resolved by the updating to the latest mapping and software, installed via Garmin Express: http://www.garmin.com/express

      If the issues persist, Garmin Product Support would be happy to offer additional troubleshooting. Garmin contact information, including telephone numbers and hours of operation, can be found on our Support page: http://www.garmin.com/support Thanks, James Garmin

    Bought this for my grandpa and he is not the best with technology, however, he is able to operate this great on his own. Very user friendly. Also, the picture is very clear.

    Does what it needs to, but a bit confusing changing locations. I had preferred another model (also a Garmin) but BestBuy did not have it on the shelf and I could not wait the 5 days for delivery.

    An excellent purchase. My wife is a bit "directionally challenged" and this is a great gift for her. Easy to set up and to use. She's happy with it.

    Not hard to use. Can be a bit annoying when you have to make an unexpected detour and it constantly recalculates, but worth the purchase.
