      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

    Easy to use but takes a different (longer) way than the tom tom I have used in the past. Tried different settings but still went a different way. Not sure I can depend on it for the best route.

    It worked fine the first and only time I have been able to use it. The second time I tried to use this Garmin the screen went black and whit fuzzy and would not come on. I have tried to recharge it to see if it was because of low battery but it still will not come on. I have another Garmin that I have never had any trouble with and love. I would not recommend to a friend at this time. I plan to take it back and exchange it hoping this is just a fluke.

    Decent GPS

    NOt a bad GPS, but with all GPS sometimes the route it gives you isn't going to be correct. I bought this as using my phone as a GPS drained the battery. Usually before I leave I check the route the GPS gives me w/ my phone to see if it provides alternative route. I would really give this 3.5 stars, but the search feature is easy to use.

    Overall is a good device, but its not very accurate, the very first address got me lost! You really need to have an exact address in order to drive you there
