    I tend to rent vehicles for long distance trips so having a portable GPS works well for me. I’m familiar with Garmin and this particular model is compatible with my needs.

    Purchased to visit our granddaughter who recently relocated to a new subdivision, the Garmin already had their new address mapped. Clear easy to read screen and useful audio directions. Well worth the price.

    Purchased this in March of 2021, it stopped working just before New Years Eve 2021. It was like the battery died but will not receive a charge so it's useless. I went into Best Buy to see about a warranty replacement and the associate said she only could return it and give me store credit so I could purchase another navigation unit. This purchase was for my driver, he's a disabled veteran needs the navigation to get around since he still uses a flip phone. Anyways the associate was stopped by a manager named Savannah who was very nasty and refused to help with a repair or replacement.

    Same model as I have owned previously and was happy with it for several years until the battery lost life. Have used it with the Italian add on map and it worked great too.

    It works as advertised. I am satisfied with it, even though it doesn't have all the functions of the iphone app (e.g. Traffic info and road-closed detours)

    It guides you to your destination but does not guide your life. You can change the annoying broads voice to an annoying dudes voice. Likes to tell you that you are wrong.

    I was bummed when my Garmin that I had for almost 11 years finally died. I researched a new GPS and wasn’t surprised to find there are very few out there to pick from seeing as a lot of cars have built in units. I finally settled on this one and I am not very impressed. It seems to take forever to locate the satellite and it also just feels cheap. It does the job but like I said I miss my old one!
