Nice large screen makes it easy to see and search
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the large screen but the voice command to search addresses is not always accurate. I would prefer the user interface like the older models where it prompted for city,address, and street.

I would recommend this to a friendVet good options are there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a great a product, having multiple options..
I would recommend this to a friendVery happy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a last minute, unplanned purchase when I accidentally crushed my old Garmin device. Because of the positive experience with that device, I had no concerns buying another Garmin with out researching. I have used this for a few days on a number of business trips and been extremely happy. The interface is easy, the directions provided are very good and accurate. The turn notifications are timely. The app used with the smart phone makes things a touch easier to indicate destinations. Extremely happy. If I have a very minor complaint, it would be nice if the audio was just a touch louder.

New Garmin
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The GPS has a nice big screen and even has pictures of exits and includes the exit lane to be in when getting off the freeway for the next turn. The traffic updates are OK but Waze is still the best I've found.
