    Only the concept is good. My Garmin mostly did what i wanted it to do only in that last mile where it's easy to lose your way. But it wasn't easy to make it understand where I want to go from further away -- putting in the address wasn't as useful as it ought to be. The time I asked it to guide me to a hospital about 10 miles west of where I was starting from. It was determined to guide me south, and kept telling me to turn around. Eventually, when I ignored it for a while, it finally got the idea and became useful enough to help me in that last mile. I haven't used it in about a year, and I may even have given it to the local thrift shop to unload.

      While the GPS is ready to use out of the box, we would suggest using the Garmin Express program to check for any map and software updates that may have been made available while the device was in transit and on the retailer’s shelf. If you haven't installed Garmin Express please download it from the following link:  www.garmin.com/express Garmin
