Posted .This is our entry level gps unit and should you find the display not to your liking I would recommend the higher resolution unit such as the Drivesmart line.

Just a kids toy!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first thing you'll want to do is, update the software. This takes 40-60 mins. After that you discover this GPS is very basic and only displays major road & gets. My wife used it to visit friends on a military installation and it didn't have maps and had to Resort to Google Maps. As for the map display it's self, it looks very amateurish something you would put in your child's toy car...

meh
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works but a bit outdated needs to be synced with home pc
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .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

Not happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, this model was useless to me. I have a more expensive Garmin that is awesome. I couldn't get this one to connect to the satellite to even begin to reach my destination . After the second time of wanting to use it & it still unable to connect, I decided to return the product.

GPS without Direction
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GPS is terrible. Even after trying to update it the GPS doesnt know where it is or where it's going. It was $90 and is outdated. We do better without it. Skip this purchase and use your sense of direction. Trust me it couldnt be worse.

I have an out dated TomTom that is still better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just about as user unfriendly as you can get. Try to make changes to a route that it has planned because you maybe want to go a slightly different way. Forget it. Not worth the trouble. I returned it. And what’s with the huge amount of models from both TomTom and Garmin. Ridiculous.

Posted .If you are driving with an active route (you have entered a destination and touched Go!) and decide to take a shortcut, the device will recognize the new path and recalculate the route using that change. It may try to take you back on the original path at first but typically will adjust to your new route as you progress.
