Bought this to use when in remote with no cell service. Worked great in western Montana & North Dakota when phone GPS went blank. Also helpful in picking better routes than Apple Maps sends you.

Stripped down Garmin

This is a stripped down version of the Garmin we last had. That one started to black out spontaneously during trips. We added extra memory, but it didn't seem like that helped. This model has no voice command, and no traffic updates. I miss both, but they aren't completely necessary since the traffic updates were sometimes useless or incorrect anyway. And, voice command is easily worked around. But this new Garmin seemed to be more updated in terms of software compared to our last one. That doesn't mean we completely trusted it, and we had to resort to our phone map app on occasion. But the price was right. And we didn't want Siri or Alexa listening all the time in our car, so it's probably the right Garmin for us at this time.

The product meets expectations in terms of quality and functionality. It performs well for its intended purpose and shows good value for the price. Design and usability are satisfactory, and overall customer experience is positive. Some minor improvements could enhance convenience and durability, but overall, it’s a reliable purchase.

Very Convenient. I'm Sr, this product is very easy to use instead of cell phone directions, tell me when to change lanes or turn why before such. This helps me concentrate on my driving. Not looking at my phone. Outstanding Safety features

This Garmin GPS seems to work correctly. I haven't had much of a chance to put it to use yet. The display is bright and easy to read. The voice is loud enough to hear over the radio (provided the radio is kept at a low volume). My only problem is that Garmin still refuses to have its GPS units use Bluetooth to transmit its voice directions like a cell phone does (muting the radio channel while the cell phone uses the radio). I don't know why Garmin refuses to implement this much needed feature. You could play the radio at whatever volume you like, and the GPS would mute the radio when needed. C'mon Garmin, do better.

Purchased this product to replace my 15 year old GPSs and it's doing well for it's size. It's easy to update with a program added to your computer and notifies you of current updated programs. And the price is good for it's compatibility.

I replaced a Garmin that was at least 10 years old. Love the larger screen. However, the new unit has not responded on a couple of occasions, and I’ve had to reboot. Hope it was just an anomaly. The pricing was very good…much less than I expected.
