    I have Garmins in each of my vehicles and am quite pleased. This new one replaced a 15 year old Garmin that stopped working. The comparatively low price and better features are amazing! I recommend it for anyone and everyone.

    So far so good! I just put this in my car and everything is working great! I love having this GPS! I’m replacing one that I had since like 2014 so it lasted for many years! I really feel better doing road trips and going to new places locally as well! Definitely recommend! Happy travels!!

    Good little navigation unit.

    Good little GPS navigation unit, much faster and quicker to calculate a route than my old Garmin Nuvi 255w. It is especially noticeably faster when recalculating a route because in a blink it has computed a new course when a wrong turn is made (or a missed turn is passed) that the screen updates almost instantly with the new route, no more spoken "Recalculating...". It has both a standby and off, which from the outside looks the same, but standby skips the reboot and, unfortunately, drains the battery, and it is hard from the outside to tell if the unit is off or just in standby. In addition to "off" not being "off", the other negative is if I want the next three turns after the up-coming turn to be displayed, it won't remember that and has to be reset after each new destination is entered. Knowing the next couple of turns is useful because sometimes it has me make a turn and then within a short block another turn and if I am in the wrong lane and there is traffic there isn't enough time to get into the correct lane. Both the battery drain in "standby" and not remembering that I want the following 3 turns displayed is why I didn't rate it the full five stars. (I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.)

    Great little gps for my car. Small and compact so it sits out of the way and doesn't take too much window space. Got me from California to the east coast without any problems

    Nice unit that I had to buy while out of state because my old one died. It took me 2 days to figure out that I had to register the unit online before it would work properly and not revert to demo mode. Someone at the store should have pointed this out and helped setup. Easy to use!

    This gps is solid. It gets me around town well. The suction cup that attaches to the windshield isn't reliable but an extra accessory will solve that problem.

    Very good GPS. Finds routes quickly and has many new features I did not have on my prior >10 year old Garmin. Readjusts route very quickly to new route when one deviates from first section. Manual is a little difficult to follow and the device requires a significant amount of tinkering with to be able to understand how to use all the features. I am still learning it and am sure I have not unlocked yet all that it can offer. I had to contact customer support once and they responded quickly, though the first responder gave me the wrong advice.
