I give this item 4 stars because the Bluetooth works so well. If you are talking with earbuds on your phone and get in range of the Bluetooth of the GPS, it immediately connects to the GPS. This is a bit aggravating when you are trying to have a conversation outside the vehicle. In order to avoid this. You have to turn on and off Bluetooth on the GPS every time you exit or enter the vehicle. Other than that, this is a wonderful device, a lot of great features. The screen is large and is very responsive to the touch, great backlight makes it easy to see in sunny areas as you drive. The maps are lifetime updatable, which is awesome! Easy to follow. The call quality using the GPS calling is clear and loud. You don’t have to yell, and I drive a big rig. It has been my best friend on the new route that I run.

This Garmin has a big screen and is easy to read street names etc. The 3D feature is awesome, and it is fast. I really like this GPS after having an older Garmin for the last year or so. Updates are simple, and the amount of data on the screen is great.

Has a big screen, we put on 950 miles in one day, very accurate , we ran in to a traffic problem and it told us what was coming up and took us around it, we bought the weighted mount for it also, so it sits on the dash out of the way and gives you a clear sight of the road.

Very nice size , clear picture and lots of options in language, country etc .
We live in state where lots of new development and new addresses happening and I would not be able to find them without updated gps .
We bought one and after using it for a couple of weeks decided to buy a second one for a second vehicle.

It took us across country this Summer seamlessly. Although there are some random addresses it don’t recognize. I like it tho and still use it weekly. Very easy to use. Haven’t tried connecting wirelessly yet tho, that’s a little challenging. It was the most expensive one available in this line, at the time. I would buy it again

Having a GPS with built in wifi is nice so you don't have to constantly take it inside to get updates. The display is huge and the ability to have an external backup camera added is nice since my vehicle doesn't have one. The GPS itself is handy for anticipating traffic issues and also provides the end user with options for local food and lodging options.

Having owned several GPS units over the years, (TomTom, Magellan, Cobra and others) I can say with confidence that this is one of the best units I have ever owned. The ease of use and being packed with features was so impressive I even purchased one for my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas. I highly recommend it.

I love this Garmin the large screen is easy to read. Even using the split screen you didn't feel like you was compromising readability of map. The app for weather and traffic jams are excellent tools for traveling. Arrival time incredibly accurate. Overall using this Garmin was easy and pleasurable. Price excellent too.

The Best Yet

I bought this because it was the newest one out. I use a GPS all day everyday. This is the best Garmin so far I have ever used. It is a little different than the ones before, and in a good way. I travel in my job and also drive a bunch when not working. I must visit 3 locations a day M-F. I get in my car every morning, go to my Trip Planner, select the day, Monday through Friday, routes I planned and saved on the device, and off I go. It reads my Text Messeges for me, my Emails for me, and I can make calls and take calls safely while driving. I can see Weather Radar, Traffic Cams, Speed Cameras and traffic conditions all on this unit. I save lots of time and save money by using this device. It is the best yet.

First GPS Purchase

With the new hands free driving law in TN, I figured it was time to make this purchase since I live by my phone GPS. First off, I LOVE the size of the screen but was very disappointed in the quality of the hands free phone volume. The volume is great on the GPS auto directions but not so good with the phone.
Still, overall satisfied with the purchase but feel like it’s a tad overpriced

I drive for a living. All over my whole state, around many places I've never been or heard of. This Garmin is amazing. You can just talk to it (find address, find place, or map route with multiple stops). Its saved me hours of road time, all of which we're completely hands free. It also has bluetooth to your phone. As well as wifi to update any new roads/maps.

This little gadget has paid for itself with all the driving I do long distance. Previously, I would use my GPS in my phone and I would end up taking very long unnecessary routes or it would freeze in the middle of a strange town getting me lost. This one tracks how fast you’re driving, informs you of hospitals, restaurants, and other stops in the area, searches for addresses, shows you actual virtual maps while driving, and the screen is large enough if your vision is poor; the features go on and on. I love all the things it can do. There’s a light learning curve to it but once you learn how to navigate it, you’ll love it too.

I returned this item to the store because the truck I had bought has free gps included. But when I used the garmin it was easy to use with voice comand, large screen and detailed information. Would definitely buy it again if I needed a gps.
