    Garmin's lifetime map updates made this purchase a no-brainer. Owned another brand years ago & maps were outdated before I left the store! Garmin is the way to go.

    This is the second garment I have purchased over the last three years. My first one is still working. I got a great deal on a second One so I bought it.

    The product is a little lighweight compared to others that I have had. A little smaller screen, but the features make up for that difference.

    Wanted to upgrade from my old Garmin which I really liked but did not have Canada maps. Found out this one didn't either. Great price but returned for the one with more maps.

    Love the Garmin GPS! It was time to upgrade from my previous Garmin. Personally, I like having it separate from my phone.

    I bought this Garmin for my son to supplement the outdated map in his 2002 Lexus. He tells me it's very user friendly, and the display is easy to understand.

    Original one would shut off or just stop working at the worst times so it was returned. So far this has worked fine, easy to set up and use and gives plenty of notice for exits or turns.

    I have used Garmin GPSfor years. But this device does not have “current”maps out-of-the-box. It is slimmer than previous Garmin units, and packs well for Travel. But I do not know how to update these maps (the “lifetime maps” feature), so when using this device I am also using my iPad in my lap — Google Maps and Waze are much more current Lunt routs and traffic. When there is a conflict, I always tajeGoogleMaps or Waze.

    Easy to use. Makes navigation a piece of cake. Just program the destination and it directs you to your location. Ask for the nearest Walmart and it will give you directions.

      All of them can be transferred using the Garmin Express program. Use it to transfer Favorites, Saved Places, and Routes from one compatible device to another. Here is a link to a Garmin Support Center article that will help: http://bit.ly/2kxlwz1
