Love the size of this gps. Volume is loud enough to hear. Doesn’t try to keep aking you to turn around to original route when you decide to make a change enroute. And love that it saves the route traveled.

Clear and easy to use, very responsive and quick "boot up" time. Pretty much ready to go after being set up and updated from the moment you can put your car into gear. Can warn of you speeding if you want, and can be set to avoid things like dirt roads and making you take U-turns by preferences settings.
Does operate on its own, but the bluetooth audio features of it relies on a cell phone. I was unable to make its bluetooth connect directly with my car stereo bluetooth as the car does not connect exactly the same way a cell phone does in this way.
It does have a built in speaker, so a cell phone is not necessary for it to operate, but may be necessary for certain advanced features and/or updates, so be sure their app will work on your Android or iPhone.

I love all the features of this GPS, but the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the Timeout feature is broken. I turned off the timeout feature, but my screen still shuts off if I'm sitting in a parking lot for about 20 minutes. If I have my car running, I want my screen on.
So what do I love about it? I love the map updates (one small issue is that the update isn't as up to date as google maps or waze). I love the traffic updates. I recently went on a trip and it told me that there was an hour delay ahead and gave me another option to avoid that delay. I love the option to have portrait or landscape mode, I personally have been doing portrait mode.

Replaced an old Garmin with this larger one with more features. Really like it so far. I would have gave it 5 stars except that only yesterday it took me 3.2 miles to the north when the Sonic we were trying to go to ended up being 3.2 miles to the south of the intersection. Kind of frustrating, especially when we had to go an extra 4 miles past the nothing it took us to just to be able to turn around.

I bought this GPS and I have to say it’s one of the best I’ve ever bought it works fantastic, compared to other GPS watches I’ve owned in the past I have to say this is the best one I strongly recommend getting it

Floor clerks were very helpful in assisting me to find the GPS section then help determine the best one for my needs. The Garmin GPS is a great tool and very up to date! The 8 inch screen is very easy to see!

I like this Garmin hiwever this is my second replacement and is going on a third. There is a flaw. It is not sun and heat compatible. I use it for work and has to sit in the corner of the windshield because of the size. I will get yellow blemishes in the top left corner. This is caused be the sun and or the heat. I replaced the first one with the warranty. The second on happened again. Same yellow spot in the same spot. Thus time the yellow spot happened when i took it out of the windshield and placed it on the passenger seat display down. When i was ready to use it again a few hours later, there was the yellow spot. Garmin won't replace it since the warranty just expired. 1 year. There is no way to protect the backing from the sun and summer heat.
This GPS gives me up to date travel conditions and lets me know if a road miles ahead has been closed down or if there is delay with up to the minute delay time and will reroute me automatically if need be. It will give me current weather reports, amongst other features to make it personal for what kind of needs is needed. Would i recommend this device. Yes and no. The quality of the product is not worth the price of this.

large screen helps me keep an eye on the road. have an old one with 4-inch screen. Small size needed passenger to read it. I can see directions clearly.

Works great, lots of options. Huge easy to see and use screen. Much better than my built in car GPS that won't let me do anything other than speak at it while driving.

The most desirable feature of this unit was screen size - I wanted the largest available. Number two priority was stay with Garmin if at all possible, as I have others that have been very good overall.

Love the size and ease of use. Map updates very helpful. Consider where you will place if on your windshield as it is larger than older models'. UNFORTUNITLY it does not come with a build-in driver's video camera.

Long time Garmin user and this upgrade has been the best ever. The setup and transfer of data from my previous unit was flawless. I appreciate the larger size and Bluetooth features.

Pros: Screen size is great. It can be used in portrait or landscape orientation.
Cons: The "straight line" mode in navigation is pointless because it provides no guidance on the route to take. Garmin should bring back "shortest distance" and/or "fuel saving" mode offered in smaller, lower-end GPS.
Perception: So far, my experience suggest that many calculated routes in "fastest time" under navigation did not seems to be very fast
