    I love this GPS. I replaced my Garmon with this new one because of the Canadian maps. I love the wider feature for everyday.

    Great product by Garmin. It gives alot of information when traveling on the open highway. It also tells you about upcoming speed limits when traveling on city streets. When the route has been given to the garmin gps, it remembers the route even when you shut off the garmin gps at areas you have made a short delay, when the gps is turned back on it automatically opens to the screen where it left off. Even when using it at night, it changes the screen to darker colors to be seen better at night. It replaced an older garmin gps that I had for about 8 years. It is a product I would recommend to anyone if they are looking for a gps to be used in a vehicle.

    Easy to use, but maps have to be updated right out of the box. My older in laws were able to use this with ease so for sure great for the elderly, i was able to set and they were off!

    I bought this Garmin to replace my old Garmin which was still working but since I was about to drive 1800 miles (FL to MN) in December, I wanted an updated model with Maps for entire US. With this Garmin I never made a wrong turn - not even going through Atlanta. I would give it five stars but it is a little tricky in putting in destinations that are outside the current city location. One has to go back in and convince it to look in another State or city.

    This Garmin is like the other units Ive gotten over the years. They would get you there 98% of the time or sometimes the address will be a quarter of a mile off. The biggest problem is the batteries seem to go bad eventually so worth getting the protection to get the battery replaced.

    E-Z to understand, E-Z to used, Lots of extra, Not exact on location . ( within a Block) I love the speed Limit sign. so I always know and I don't have to wait till I get to a sign on the road and the Red Light camera warning is a saver. It does all the thing I need and a lot more. I would recommend to Friends & Family.

    I was very disappointed with the unit. I've had Garmen's in the past and they worked great in the beginning, but have gone down hill over the years. This unit had me going every where but where I needed to go. It acually got me LOST !!!!!! I'll never buy one again.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Sounds like it may need to be updated. 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
