I love this for navigation! It shows you what the exit looks like and what lane you need to be in for your next turn. I had originally purchased one for my daughter and liked it so much that I bought one for myself.

They have made a few improvements to the older Garmins. It is still the best navigation system on the market, but it could use many improvements - such as a north pointing arrow and a way to quickly toggle between avoidances.
It still isn't self evident and navigating the settings is aggravating.
But the other nav systems are even worse.

This GPS is amazing. The touch screen is super responsive. Being able to use WIFI to download all updates makes it so much easier.

Had to replace our 10 year old Garmin. Love the big screen on this; It's been very accurate and quick to load addresses. Very pleased with it.

Garmin products are always great and this one is no exception. I got this as a replacement for a hand held GPS unit. It has all the functions that embedded unit has and provide great viewing even in direct sunlight. Great price.

Basic GPS functions work well, the screen is bright and audio clear and loud as needed. Turning cues and instructions are adequate.
Unit can respond to certain voice commands like "Find Place" and the name of the desired place. It presents a list of likely matches to select from and set a destination.

Works well for navigation but falsely advertises that you can receive alerts and texts on the device. One of the sole reasons I bought this was for alerts while riding my motorcycle. GPS is solid and does have a lot of features that I like.

Love it! I have an older vehicle with no GPS so this is ideal plus I can connect my phone for hands-free use of phone. If it is charged up, one can use it for navigating while walking.
