    Difficult to install, we couldn't use the regular bracket. used Velcro and super glue ( not enough room between the shift & console ). [Subaru Forester] Had to print off the manual.

    Since I lived in Mexico last year, my car GPS was useless. The Garmin saved me. Google maps is just as good for navigation, but the Garmin is easier to hear.

    We have used the GPS system several times now, and it has worked great every time. The plus about the this GPS is that it shows what lane you are to be in with an arrow when there is multiply lanes.

    I had a young man help me and he did a great job because I was not really familiar with the product and he reassured me it was a good product to buy.

    Newer features than previous Garmin. Very clear, larger screen. Up-to-date maps. Provides warning/alert messages as you travel. Much easier to use, and safer while driving than Google maps.

    This was my first time to purchase a Garmin GPS I really like the maps and way Garmin displays names of streets you are traveling on and next road coming up and maps seem easier to read and see.

    Great fridge for personal use. Bigger than normal college “square” fridge. Over 3 ft.³. Also has a big enough freezer to hold to ice trays. Very pleased with this product for the money.

    This is my second one purchased. The first one was very helpful for a recent northern California trip. Decided to get a second one so I wouldn't have to switch between cars.

    Although the display screen was nicer on my old model, this new version works better and has a better voice and easier to understand directions. It is very easy to navigate.
