Thank goodness somebody still carries plug in home phones. I needed one with larger numbers and guess what!! I should have gone to Best Buy to begin with.

I absolutely love that this updates over wifi and can connect to your phone over bluetooth for traffic updates. No more data required for directions/maps.

The screen is good and is quicker than my old Garmin. The voice command is horrible! I have had this for over a year and a half. It hardly ever understands what I'm saying and it comes up with locations that aren't even close to what I am saying. I speak clearly and it doesn't matter if I speak loudy or softy. The voice command feature, is the main reason I replaced my old Garmin.

Bought for my mom who is in her 60s and totally relies on GPS to get around - it’s very user friendly and simple to figure out and so very pleased with the purchase .

Garmin is a fine brand. It shows me clear directions, no circular directions. I can find attractions, gas stations and restaurants. Maps are up to date. I will continue to buy Garmin products.

This Garmin was easy to use. We used it for a recent vacation.
I believe this is my husband's favorite new toy. It was nice not being the person responsible for directions.

my old Garmin was easier to operate than this one. Paid too much money for it. It doesn't ask for what state you want. Not happy.

When searching for an address, your device will automatically search for matching addresses within the state or province where you're currently located. When near a state line, the device will also search in the neighboring state(s). To search for an address in a different state please see this Garmin article: https://bit.ly/2PP9a3Z

Works great. Never have any trouble with sun glare as I did with my Tom Tom. My only wish is that it wasn’t dependent on my iPhone for traffic. This doesn’t always pickup on traffic problems. I still use waze on my iPad; pain.

I have no negative comments. The voice is neutral, I know when a speed camera is coming, and Garmin gets me where I have to go. Alerts me to accidents and heavy traffic. A great product for the money!

It works good so far except for the fact that the voice recognition software doesn't understand any street names I tell it other than that it's okay

Love my Garmin. I have an older car that doesn't have GPS. I love the split screen that tells me when to exit. Even my husband can comprehend it.
