    Red light notification and school zone notifications are a plus. Also blue tooth to cell able to make hands free calls. Traffic notifications save a lot of time going around traffic

    Just did a 2800 mile trip with it and it was great. I like the voice command capability and having wifi built in for updates is fantastic.

    This is an excellent GPS. Clear, precise instructions. The bluetooth is a little better than my last Garmin. I would have given it 5 stars had the traffic receiver been included. As advertised, this GPS is capable of receiving traffic updates. What is not clearly stated is that a $70 traffic receiver must be purchased separately in order to benefit from this feature. I'm not willing to pay an additional $70 for something that should have come with the product to begin with. So I can't give any input as far as the live updates go. Had I known I'd have to make this separate purchase I would have bought the cheaper Garmin without traffic instead. You get one star Garmin for deceptive advertising. Thanks for nothing.

      Sorry for the confusion. Out of the box, the free Garmin Smartphone link using your smartphone’s data connection is required to receive traffic. If you don’t have a smartphone, a Garmin GTM 36™ or GTM 60™ will be needed to access the traffic feature. Garmin

      Good news, this model will let you add additional data fields to display the estimated arrival time along with miles to your destination. Here is a link to a Garmin Support Center article that will help with the Trip Data fields:  https://bit.ly/2GqpeoW Garmin

    It's reasonably priced with lots of extras. Using the phone through the blu tooth has some glitches but nothing to be a deal breaker.

    Good GPS. The only downside is that the supplied cable does not support real time traffic information as older Garmin GPS did.

    I was so confused by the instructions... it’s not real easy to set up, for me anyways, I’m not a tech person but I hope I don’t need to have WiFi on in my car for it to work... I wish there were better instructions instead of just stupid pictures that really didn’t tell you anything... The app isn’t real helpful either. It takes FOREVER to charge.
