Good GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a gift. I used it very briefly. I decided to set it up so the end-user wouldn't have to do it. I appreciated the screen size of the GPS. It did tempt me to buy one for myself.
I would recommend this to a friendRated 3 out of 5 stars
Decent for the price...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Make sure you are able to update it PRIOR to taking it out on the road for the first time. Oh & you can NOT update it with a chrome notebook as it NEEDS windows platform to do such.

Road trips
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Helpful when you don’t have unlimited data and are taking a road trip, just make sure you update it before trips. Touch screen response isn’t the best.

Good for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Garmin brand but the only issue I have every once in a while will not turn on have to hold down power button to restart. First one that has done this.

Just buy it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a GPS for work and this definitely fits the bill. At my job it's very important that I know the roads at a moment's notice and this gives me plenty of heads up while I'm driving.

My 4th GPS unit and by far the best.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the way it gives a signal when speed limit changes. Also like the way it recalculates when you want to deviate from the suggested route. Very clear about describing what route to take in busy areas.

It works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having some difficulties typing with big finger nails. I didn't have problems with my old Garmin GPS. Charging for the first time took forever but it works just fine without any problems.

For the price a good Garmin
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked like I expected. Sometimes would go off the map and direction it was showing. It only happened a couple of times. Overall I found it to be a good purchase.

Garmin quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 4th Garmin since 2007 and the quality of the GPS gets better and better. I really like the additional things it tells you, it's amazing how far these units have come over the years.

Works but your phone is better
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most phones nowadays are better and faster than this product. It works fine and can find any location you type in but might not be the most optimal route. Also, the interface very slow to update the screen whether you’re typing or even sometimes driving. Unless you’re on a limited data phone plan and drive a lot, or buying for someone who doesn’t have a smartphone, you’re better off using your favorite maps app.

Garmin GPS

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product to replace a horrible Tom Tom I had, and it was a good purchase. No more random shutting down, and the keyboard actually works, unlike the Tom Tom. I am very happy with this product.
