    We purchased this to replace a Garmin that quit working after several years. It is a basic unit, with no bells and whistles but our cars have a back up camera and hands free calling, so we didn’t need the extra features. Gives directions accurately and easy to program.

    My Garmin is a great investment! Being in sales business I’m on the road every week meeting with new people all over the state. My Garmin has made doing business SO MUCH EASIER!! The different features allow me to customize it to my needs and I love how I can put in all my destinations and it sets my route in order of the next nearest stop so I’m not going back and forth all day!!

    This was a gift for the in-laws . I set it up for them and like that it was so easy to use for them. It had some really nice features and wasn't too pricey.

    This Garmin is an upgrade to an old Garmin and a much needed device when the navigation built into the vehicle is not reliable. After the vehicle's nav wanted us to take weird routes we found the nearest Best Buy and picked this up. It's helped us on several trips since then and only use vehicle navigation as a backup now. Would recommend especially with lifetime updates is a great purchase.

    I had only used 2 gps models before. Both from a different manufacturer from garmin. So thus is my first garmin and I must say I love it. Way more accurate than my two other models. Speaks street names which helps. I just use the basic functions which are easy to use. Nearby gas stations, restaraunts, etc, show up on the side as you get near them. All in all, I would purchase this again .

    This GPS was easy to update and register. I had to leave it plugged in for several hours to get it close to full charge. Then as I personalized the settings, the battery discharged about half. I also had to set the brightness to 90% to see the screen in daytime. So far, it works very well but I'm concerned the screen could be better.

    I used it for my cross country road trip and had no issues with it. It's very direct and clear when telling you where to go. I really like the pictures that come up of the exits you need to get off on. Very user friendly, Accurate mapping, easy to see screen. Very pleased with my purchase!

    I recently purchased the Drive 51 LM, The Geek Squad offered to update/ set up for free, so I took advantage of that. As far as use goes, it is pretty easy to use, with several ways to plot your route/ destination, including gas, food and lodging along the way. Overall it is big enough to see and read, but obstructs very little of your windshield when placed correctly.

    An outstanding Navigation System. The lifetime updates is an outstanding feature. Much better than relying on a phone based navigation system.
