||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very nice, easy to read, and listen to direction finder to anywhere!
I would recommend this to a friend Useful GPS for auto
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is proving to be very handy on road trips. On only one occasion did the mapping prove to be inaccurate, and that was on an address of a country home. The system is a little clunky, but workable once one gets used to it. The satellite connection and updates without subscription make it a compelling tool. I do recommend getting the sleeve to protect the device.

Can't be placed in the car too long on a hot day
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is good for the size, touch screen feature and ability to update without connecting to a computer. However, there is not much option to choose when routed. While google map allow you to choose another route for cheaper toll option, Garmin will force you back to the original planned route and make it hard to pick another route option. One major flaw is while on our 6 hours drive from boston back to philadelphia, Garmin died and would not turn on after 1 hour of driving. It is a hot day about 90 degree or so. The gps was over heated and would not turn back on while i am on highnway with speed limit of 65 mph. I have to swith to my google map. I went into a rest stop area and keep pressing the power button but the system still dead. Even if i press the reset button, it still wouldnt turn on. Garmin gps turn back on again after an hour later when it cooled down. Very inconvenient. Defeated the purpose of having a gps system under the windshield.

Posted .Sorry to hear you had some difficulties with modifying your route. The built in Trip Planner App does allow you to shape a route to you personal liking. It is important when mounting the device to do so in a manor that it is not in direct sunlight if at all possible. Also allowing the unit the ability to cool if direct sunlight is the only option will help to eliminate the auto shutdown to prevent damage.

Posted .While the GPS is ready to use out of the box, we would suggest checking for any map and software updates that may have been made available while the device was in transit and on the retailer’s shelf. This model includes Built-in Wi-Fi® for easy map and software updates. This Garmin YouTube video walks through the entire process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk7VytUipe8&en-us
