    Overall, it is good to have. On occasion it needs updating on-line to remain current. There have been times when it was loss.

    I really like this system. It alerts you when the posted speed limit changes. I wish the screen was a bit bigger.

    I purchased this GPS as a backup for when I lose cellular service on my phone. I tried it out a few times and it was trying to have me go up one way roads (one way roads that have been in place for a decade). It also doesn’t route the fasted way to the destination. It literally had me go a very round about way to get to a place that would otherwise be a 1.5 miles, yet it had me to almost 3 miles.

    Just moved to Florida and needed something other than my phone for navigation. This works good and isn't to big for my dash.

    I like Garmin as a brand even though they have had some quality issues recently. I bought this product for two of my sisters, my two daughters and my two cars.

    OK GPS but lacking an important feature

    This is an ok GPS. However, it does not show the remaining trip miles. It only shows the number of miles till the next turn. Also, the suction cup for the windshield is a flat silicon cap, which means it will get dirty and stop getting sticky after a few usages. It may be ok if you leave it on the windshield permanently? It is not really a hallow auction cup like the TomTom.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      This model will let you add additional data fields to display the estimated arrival time along with miles to your destination. Here is a link to a Garmin Support Center article that will help with the Trip Data fields:  https://bit.ly/2YwsfZY Garmin
