    Upgraded gps

    Updated Garmin gps and like the way it works with not only telling you street names for turns but also turn at light as sometimes if not familiar with area no street signs avail. Chose to get the traffic cable to get traffic instead of using phone etc. Also like you can update maps with just using your WiFi.

    I really wish Garmin would just do navigation the units are so busy doing unnecessary stuff that no one uses are stupid like food reviews and movie tickets the traffic wire and or bluetooth stink work when they want, to have a bt phone feature is again stupid and looking for trouble with your cars bluetooth constant conflic looking for location by name is impossible it will give you locations thousand of miles away in other words this unit are not smart or intuitive spell check is a night mare considering name can't be spelled corrected and shouldn't but here's Garmin again doing stuff it shouldn't ide rather pay for a unit that is smart and intuitive opposed to a unit that is chuck full of useless features

    Fairly easy to operate. I wish paper versions of the instructions were still included with the devices. I found it hard to change stops once I was on the road. Otherwise, I am pleased with this device.

    This GPS works great, as have all our previous Garmin units. One nice change is that the screen is capacitive instead of resistive, so it feels like a modern smart phone instead of like an old Palm Pilot. You just have to touch the screen instead of pressing on it like the older models. It has traffic alerts, but the receiver isn't built in like in previous Garmin units. Instead, it wants to connect to a smart phone app and use your data. You can buy the power cord with the receiver, but that is an extra expense now. Otherwise, a great GPS.

    This Garmin is a good GPS the maps seem to current; the recommended routes computations also seem to have been updated from my previous Garmin. This GPS is better than Waze on my mobile phone. Voice command is also a nice, convenient addition.

    This is the best GPS and I have bought probably 10 over the year. and most were Garmins. The best feature is the speed limit size which much larger than than the last 6 inch screen I looked. Much bigger than any 5in screen i ever looked or owned.

    Wanted a reliable navigation system that was not attached to my phone for use during long distance trips. This fits the bill. Great unit. Nice turn-by-turn. Great graphics and features. Like the available alerts. Overall, great purchase.

    GPS with Live Traffic updates, value for money. Automatically recalculate routes when you drive down a different road than on the route shown. Side navigation on turns in really helpful. Device pre-loaded with most routes.

    We had several older Garmin's, some with & without unlimited maps & traffic (recommend that you get unlimited maps & traffic). This one has voice command & it's taking me a bit to get used to, but impressed with it so far.
