    I have always loved my Garmin's and this one was no disappointment. Love the split screen when coming up on intersections, posted speed limits and free updates.

    Love my new gps. The features are easy to use. Love the feature of the speed limit app that lets me know when the speed limit changes. Since I don't always see it.

    We love this GPS unit and it’s lifetime map updates. So much better than paying for map updated for an in-vehicle GPS system.

    My GPS broke and I knew to buy a Garmin this time. It works as expected and I've had no issues. I will get a garmin in the future if I ever need another GPS.

    Ive had about 6-7 of these in the last 3 years. They stop working at least once a year or more. The last one lasted 7 months. I ALWAYS buy the best buy protection with them.

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

    I am one of those people that is truly horrible with directions. This is one of the best investments I have ever made. It has turn by turn instructions. Many navigation systems tell you to turn too late. This one has never let me down. Gives you ample time and even a brief reminder when to turn or change lanes. Traffic updates, alternate routes, reminders of your driving speed. This item has given me the confidence to go places I probably wouldn't have attempted to go without it. Absolutely great product. You definitely get your money's worth.

    This product is good at all the added features and works just as you'd expect except the sole purpose of it, i.e. maps. The maps are bit off, I updated maps 2 days back and it still shows many roads with wrong speed limits & still shows route for a street that is closed for work. Keeps alerting at 45 mi while the road is 55 mi. Also, another issue is finding optimal route within city. Good for highways and long trip. Still giving 4 starts as it's nice for highways and long trips with speed limit alerts.

    For the most part it’s pretty accurate. It does take me the best way but some of the back roads aren’t good.

    If you are interested in a basic Garmin model, this is the one for you. I would like to have had a much bigger display screen as this one is fairly small. Good product.

    GPS was a gift

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

    Gps was a gift and although I have an older one, I found this one a little more confusing to use. It was easier when you picked the state and the city, rather than having several addresses pop up at once. BUT after playing with it for a while I decided that it was pretty neat. I have not had the chance to figure out how to change the states etc because I gave it to my father-in-law. I also think it would be better if they still came with an instruction manual - without having to download it from the internet.
