    Old Magellan finally bit the dust and heard good things about Garmin. Took a little adjusting but pleased with this GPS. Older model didn't have as many functions so it was confusing at first but happy overall with purchase.

    I needed a newer GPS after purchasing a new vehicle only to find out that my older Garmin Nuvi 155 would not work in the newer car due to all the new electronics in the vehicle. The old GPS could never find the satellites, the new GPS finds them right away and also is easier to listen too.

    We bought this GPS for my MIL. She loves it. It gives the option to manually type the location or the user can speak the location. It is easy to use. If I didn't already own a GPS, I would have purchased another for myself. Sometimes phones aren't great for using GPS in certain areas as they can lose connection. Have no experienced this yet with this GPS.

    I gave this to my dad for Fathers Day. He loves it. Its an upgrade to his last Garmin. The screen is bigger and it has extra features. He likes that it shows him detailed information. If there is a wreck or something ahead then he can change or reroute his direction for his trip. I also purchased him a Garmin Golf watch for Christmas. We love all things Garmin :)

    This gps is great but I only give it a 4 stars because the voice to tell you to make exits or turn is kind of slow. It will tell you to make a turn right when you reach it so it like "oh it to late now gotta go for the next exit". But other then that it great.

    Just returned from a 3,220 road trip. Loved many features of this Garmin - especially Voice Command. The prompts after driving two hours for next gas/food/rest area is helpful feature. Easy to create trip routes, saved places, etc. Had earlier model Garmins, and this one is great!!!

    Used my Garmin from Georgia to Bremerton Washington. Samantha guided me to Mount Rushmore, SD, Yellowstone park & Grand Canyon. We also went to see The meteor Creator. This was a very good tool to have, especially since we had no idea where we were going.

    GPS - Garmin

    I brought this for my daughter who uses the GPS because she drives for a living. Started working straight out the box. So far no complaints - she is able to use this instead of her phone (company does not allow phone use while driving). So it has been very helpful for her to find streets and get to her locations fairly quickly

    I have used it for several long distance road trips and it has come invaluable during big traffic jams on the interstate where I needed another route when available. The blue tooth connection to my cell phone works beautifully and can do all the calling or answering hands free.

    This GPS has every feature I need for driving either at home or in places I've never been to before. The automatic Bluetooth linking is great for making calls while driving, and the GPS is easy to see and follow.
