Great GPS unit for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought three of these GPS units for my trucks at work.we use these units all the time. They appear to program fairly easy. We have to go to many different route s and being able to program many different stops on are route and have the GPS unit put it in order makes it very handy. Only draw back is the volume doesn't seem very loud but we almost always shut the sound off any way. Over all appears to be a good unit would buy again

It works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this Garmin to replace our old one while vacationing in FL. Our old one did not have updated maps so we were getting lost a lot of times. This one has a bigger screen and the directions are very clear. We can understand very well.

Nice explanation of turns
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very happy with this Garmin. My other garmin went out in the middle of a trip so I bought this one because I liked the first Garmin. It has a nice notification when to turn and I like the bigger screen.

Great price for the product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s so nice to have a GPS that I can actually see without my glasses. The screen is quite large. It’s very easy to use. It has a slot for a memory card that will hold up to 32 gb on top of the memory already stored.

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a TomTom that failed on me in less than three years after hearing how great they were. I had plenty of problems with it. I have found this product to be far superior right from the beginning and much easier to use.

Great guide for traveling.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the graphics and set-up for this GPS. It seems pretty accurate. I only wish that an AC adapter was available to purchase so that I could charge it in the home to map out my routes without sitting in the car.

It worked well!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We used it on our trip to the Northeast. I was able to figure it out. I wish I had watch a video before we made our trip but didn't. I did figure it out. It was easy to use. It got us to where we were going.

A great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you need a GPS make sure and get one that has Lifetime Map Updates like this one otherwise you will have to end up paying to update your map once it get's out of date. If you have an old GPS with out lifetime map updates, you would be better buying a new GPS with lifetime map updates instead of paying money to update your map. This is a great GPS and you can't go wrong with buying this one. You will be glad you did. It is easy to set up and easy to use.

Easy to see but some errors
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this unit because I needed a bigger unit than my old Garmin. This unit is much easier for my 78 year old eyes to see than the older one. I have only used it locally so far and I have seen some routing mistakes. For example going to the airport it told me to make a left turn instead of the correct right turn. The interface is better in some respects than the old one and less intuitive in others. I was not able to press the car icon to set my current location until I found that I had to use a stylus instead of my finger. Hopefully the mistakes in directions will be fixed in upcoming map updates. (I did download the latest ones but not fixed yet)

Great entry-level larger GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GPS was an upgrade to an older 2014/2015 Nuvi, which was considerably smaller and had gotten a great deal laggier over time. Technology ages, so it was upgrade time. After careful consideration, I decided on this GPS as I don't need too many extra and expensive features. I'm happy with my purchase and recommend the device to those looking for a straightforward, easy to use, entry level GPS.

Good value, works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 4th Garmin I have owned. In my mind, the Garmins are the best choice for car navigation. A bigger screen is always better. If you can afford it, go big. The Garmin hardware is well made and I had no issues with mounts and connections. Pros: Solid performance. Had some signal drift under dense canopies, but with clear sky, the gps and maps are spot on. Good quality maps that include most small trail-roads. Relatively standard interface. Much better gps signal performance than my phone. Cons: Maximize your screen space. This was a 6 inch model, which is barely enough. Having to use reading glasses with the gps is a pain, but the font size cannot really be increased with the small screen. The search tools are ok, but if you add a new stop to your trip, there is not a good way to remove it - when you find out that the stop is too far out of the way. The trip has to be stopped and restarted. My strategy was to google a potential stop first, check the location along the route, and then search and select the new stop. The voice commands were nearly the same between the my phone and the Garmin, so for short trips that don't need a visual map, a phone app has a slight advantage. To the GPS Vendors: A dedicated car navigation system has a lot of value, but these units should come standard with wifi/bluetooth that link to a cell hotspot. A mobile phone will never have enough screen space for navigational needs. Old peeps are barely able to read the tiny fonts and images on a phone. The screen needs to be big enough to hold a window for the area/regional map without losing the display of the main route. An 8 to 9 inch screen size is needed. An an option to double the font size would have huge value.

Think it will be great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the clerks helped me choose this model as I wasn't sure what to go for. I had had a Garmin before and really liked it. I needed to update and really like the size of this one. As of yet I haven't used it as haven't gone anywhere unfamiliar but am looking forward to doing so. Good price, good features.

Perfect for road trips
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this to go on a road trip through the Upper Peninsula this summer. We loved it and all Garmin GPS products. The big screen was great for our vehicle that has a large dashboard. It helped us see better. I can't say enough about this GPS. You will be very happy you purchased it! This is our 2nd Garmin and we are still using the Garmin Nuvi in our other car without any problems whatsoever! Go Garmin!
