I love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this GPS for almost 2 years and it's working great. The suction cup sometimes falls, but maybe twice a year and I just have to wet it and put it back on the windshield.

Garmin GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our new Garmin! It’s easy to read, can see everything very clearly, and gives you enough notice as to which lane you need to be in! We also love how the speed limit is posted on it!

Couldn't be more pleased
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great device. This is a valuable upgrade over the Garmin Nuvi I had before. Much quicker, better graphics, more information and the traffic congestion feature makes it all the better.

great UNTIL
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great until it got hot and died! It did not get hot from weather, but from the battery. I had noticed many times that the area by the battery got warm, but in May, 2019, it got hot and just dies. Would not come on again. I do not know if a battery can be changed, but probably something wire related got funny and burned out. I really missed it on our trip, I used it often as a passenger ince the car GPS does not let you use it when the car is moving. BOY DID I MISS IT!! I am not tech savvy and the machine still baffles me when I try to use it, but it did well when I used it.

Posted .When a device won’t power on a soft reset often resolves the issue. Connect the device to a power source with the vehicle power cable or an AC adapter. Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds. Once the device powers on I would suggest fully charging the battery. Here is a Garmin Product Support article that gives all of the charging details:  http://bit.ly/2mUqF0t

Good once you figure out how to use it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good GPS, but it would have been better if the instructions on how to use it had been written in a booklet with the purchase. I had to get it charged and look it up on the device before I knew what I was doing.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love being able to see the upcoming exit in the split screen mode. I also find it very helpful that it tells you how many lanes will be a part of your upcoming exit.

Nice display
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has big bright display. School zone warnings don't go off half the time and only one direction. 4 lane decided highways are shown as one fat road. Curves warning does not work.

this is a very good retirement gift for a friend
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup instructions could be improved. The entering of a new address is not as user friendly as the older models. I had to try at least 4 times before the address was useable.

I like this GPS....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GPS acquires the satellites and is ready to navigate much more quickly than my older Garmin ever did. I have it mounted in my Jeep, and I'm ready to go anywhere....

Useful and feature packed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With free lifetime map updates and traffic added to the already impressive unit, one should be happy enough, yet, the ability to create and store routes takes this over the top. Great unit.
