We love our new Garmin. Ours was outdated and we needed to replace. You can really understand the directions given and it gives you enough time to prepare in advance. Love it!!!!

I bought this for my boss for Christmas to replace the Garmin GPS he had that was probably 15 yrs old, so this one is a major upgrade and he loves it!! Very simple to use and navigate. I would recommend this those who are not that tech savvy....

My wife and I both agree the 5 inch screen is more difficult to read than our previous, larger, Garmin GPS. The keypad is also very sensitive to touch and keys in characters I did not intend, even when using a soft tipped pen, forcing me to reprogram typing in the address. The program sometimes directs the driver in the wrong direction, but only within city limits, indicating satellite misreading of streets. The screen is adequately bright. I appreciate the sidebar which lists the towns to be driven through and mileages. This is an improvement over older models. I'd recommend a larger screen version.

The box says the device is ready to go. It isn't. It takes several hours to charge up. We tried to add updates and failed completely. The data transfer rate was 350 Kb initially and decreased steadily over time. After 13 hrs, we stopped the process to go on a 6 day trip. The device worked fine over the trip. We contacted Garmin support on our return. They said the transfer rate was way to low and agreed to investigate. (My computer is rated at 18 Mb.) After a week, Garmin support advised that a new version of Garmin Express has been issued and that we should use it. We did and the update now seems to be working acceptably. I will emphasize the device's performance over the trip. It seems a reasonable device.

The Garmin GPS works great for when you have absolutely No idea where you're going.
I don't like using my cell phone for Everything, so GPS helps a lot.

Love Garmin been using them since about 2003 personally and professionally. The extra features need some work but the base functions and directions are the best paid or free[Wayze/Google are terrible comparatively].

My husband purchased this because he was accepting a job in San Jose, Ca and needed a way to get around easily. Being from Louisiana we don’t have all the confusing mix master roads etc. and his Garmin has never misguided him.

I am so happy with my purchase. This GPS was even better than I thought. I love the glare free screen. Audio is good! Free updates on the location map. Yes, this is the one to buy. And Best Buy gave me great customer service. Thanks Best Buy!
