    We recently purchased our second Garmin. Love the new updates, especially the voice commands and that it can be easily updated. Looking forward to learning everything it can do.

    The device itself is a little bulky, but the software works great. Traffic updates can save one so much time.

    I have only used the GPS a handful of times, but it is great. It tells me how to get where I need to go, and where the nearest gas stations restaurants and shopping are.

    Purchased this for my wife's car and as a follow up yo my Nuvi 2597 LMT. Great features and functions make this another great product from Garmin. Nice touch screen makes task selection easy. Split screen is clear and super convenient. However, you do need a "smart phone link" to have access to traffic and live services. When I purchased the device I specifically asked the Best Buy sales associate if the car power cable did this for the device like my Nuvi 2597 LMT and he said "YES" so I believe I was misled. Still a great product but when traveling you have to use 2 devices to access all the features which is a pain.

    Best Buy had a great deal on this at time of purchase and shipping was fast. This is my 2nd garmin gps. It doesn’t function as good as my old one it if gets the job done. I did purchase a separate traffic cable for this as to not keep the phone app connected to the gps. Not sure why garmin didn’t already include this , this cost 60.00 more than the product

    Seems fairly easy to use on the plus side. On the minus side, no manual comes with the unit, must look that up online. The charging instructions are incomplete as it does not mention that you can use a usb cable and your computer to charge the unit...did my own research to find that out online as well.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This replaced a previous garmin that failed after nine years of use. I own multiple Garmin products for car and boat. They've always proved reliable and easy to use.

    Voice directs you to the correct lane, warns of coming stop lights, easy to program and save addresses. Let's you know the speed limit, if you are exceeding it.

    Great improved GPS

    Very nice clear screen with directional arrow representing the car. Shows off-ramps clearly to ensure you take the right one. Alerts you when you approach camera intersections. You also get the speed shown in red when you exceed the posted speed limit. You can pair this via Bluetooth to your smartphone. Traffic notification is not that well established since I can be stuck on the interstate barely moving, and it won't say a peep about how bad the traffic is.

    Not much to say, except that it does what a dedicated GPS unit should do. No ads, no fancy voices, no issues.

    A great GPS for finding places you want to go. I like it doesn't say recalculating if you turn the wrong way, it just tells you were to turn next.
