I bought this model for the large screen size and lifetime maps and traffic. Generally, it has worked well, though I have not accessed many of its special features, so I can't comment on them. I did not love having to pay extra for the connecting cable that enables the traffic, but twice already this month it has allowed me to avoid long delays on my way to specific appointments in the Jacksonville, FL area. I went ahead and bought the traffic enabled power cable, as I suspect that connecting to traffic via my smart phone would eat a hole in my data allotment.
It has also consistently told me to be in the left lane at one specific intersection at which I should first be in the right lane and only after exiting the freeway turn left, but the screen view is correct to guide me properly. I like it well enough to strongly consider buying a second one for our other vehicle, but I'm waiting for a sale price.

Display size on this unit is great, which is a plus. Overall functioning is user-friendly, with large touch screen buttons and easy to understand display. However, there have been a couple of times that the Garmin has not been able to find the address that I have entered into it and I have had to resort to the Google Maps app on my phone instead. Also, I have driven around my town and neighborhood with it on just to see which direction it would take me in an area that I was familiar with and found that it would frequently take me in a direction that was not the quickest. It does the job for out-of-town necessities, especially if you don’t know any better, but it would be nice to have the confidence that it is taking you in the right direction in the most efficient way possible. Maybe the maps just need to be updated?

My husband bought me this as a gift, and it is different from the GPS I previously owned, so it has taken a little getting used to. I find the order of entering addresses strange (street first - I am used to city first). I love the size of the screen - very nice! And the attachment to the windshield - nice quality and stable.

This is a great GPS. It's been highly accurate thus far. Only complaint I have is not being able to turn off some notifications like rr crossings ahead and stuff. Also not happy I have to buy a 70$ cable to keep my live traffic and still use the backup camera bc30 I installed. Still a great gps.

This GPS is awesome! I was in need of a new GPS after my old Garmin 3790 gave up on me. I love how I can upload maps and update the software via WiFi - no need to connect the GPS to a PC anymore. The large 7” screen is perfect and the best part is the recalculation time is extremely quick compared to my older GPS.
