    I bought this for work and it has held up very well. Transferring from my bag to the windshield 4 days a week every week and it hasn't failed me yet. Great product for the price

    Garmin has always been a good choice for GPS Devices. One thing I love about this GPS is that it has lifetime map updates. It recalculates or reroutes really fast. Highly recommended.

    This is a simple gps unit to use for directions. I had a Nuvi before and the Best Buy guy price matched it and I was able to get it about 25 bucks cheaper.

    Great for town , major highways/interchanges etc ... very accurate. But using it for semi-remote areas ( Indiana for example) is not the greatest.

    Simple, easy to use. No extras but perfect for just simply navigating. I put it in my teenager's car so he would not have to rely on a phone.

    Nice update to the Garmin gps system. I like that volume can be controlled via tool icon on the map page instead of going back three screens. Improved graphics and search function

    Terrible software for itinerary planning

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The screen is crisp and clean. Navigates around town just fine. My biggest gripe is the lousy software that's supposed to interface with this device. Garmin basecamp sucks at itinerary planning. My biggest use for this device is vacation planning. I always plan a custom route to avoid large cities and busy highways. It's been impossible to use Garmin basecamp to do this. I am computer literate and have been doing this for years on TomTom but the Garmin is impossible to use. Google it and you'll see. I've had to go back to my old dependable Tomtom to plan my latest vacation. Their software is also not as good as google but at least it works. I'll be selling this on ebay as it's worthless to me without proper software. How the heck do you sell a GPS product without proper software to back it up?

    This turned out to be a great gift for my Dad because he still uses a flip phone as his cell phone. Now he has the ability to use this in his truck to find directions with ease.
