    I am a fan of Garmin. This Garmin doesn't always get me to my destination on the best path. So not as happy with this model as my 2 previous models. But Garmin does have good products for the price,

    We bought this a couple of years ago. I'm a technically inclined person (and I speak loud and clear) but I had a lot of trouble getting it to understand what I was saying for addresses so I gave up on that feature. I suppose I could bring it in the house and sit down with it and figure out what is going wrong but I don't have the time for that. I do like the feature that displays where food places, stores and gas stations are along your route. I don't know if other GPSs do that. Lately we've been just using the cellphone to get directions instead of this.

    The only problem is voice commands

    The only problem is the voice command part of the GPS. When I give it a address or city or category, the GPS does not understand it very well. I have to say it many times and do a lot of editing

    Nice but has a lot of flaws

    It’s a nice unit with some really cool features but it doesn’t function the same way as your phone gps would. It will at times have me drive through the city when the highway is faster. It will have me take weird side streets instead of known major roads. The voice command is finicky, I asked for directions to a store that was right around the corner from my house and I was given directions to the same store but on the other side of the state, literally on the east coast of Florida, I live on the west. All In all I wouldn’t buy this unit if I were you. If I were to do it over again I would have gone with a different brand.

      You should try updating the mapping and software. This model includes Built-in Wi-Fi® for easy map and software updates. This Garmin YouTube video walks through the entire process:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk7VytUipe8&en-us Garmin

    For those who still want or need a separate GPS, rather than using their smartphone, this is a good solution. It includes the ability to get traffic info via a bluetooth connection to a Garmin app on your smarthpone.
