Larger Garmin GPS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great unit. Should make clear that size change makes prior Garmin accessories useless.

Gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't like the fact if you tyle in the city instead of it looking for you it shuts off and turns back on and now you need to do it again and let it search for you

Stick to paper printouts
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have to be a rocket scientist to program a trip. I spent $349.00 about 2 months ago for nothing. It couldn't locate routes / addresses in Nova Scotia and is very complicated to use. That's my opinion. I was hoping the size and options were going to help me plan our vacation and use it to get around. Would be good getting from point A to B if a simple route. Good luck. I don't know where all these exceptional reviews came from!

Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased it brand new used it one time and the speaker went out. I called Garmin and had to send it back. I had to pay $254 for them to send me a new one which they did credit me back but I hope the new one does not give out after one usage, overall it looks like a really decent product but I’m not sure about the speaker. I just got the new one and so far after two times using it it has not broke. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Saving destination point.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When putting in a address, it takes multiple times for it to add a destination address. That can be saved. Three if not four times before the option to save the destination is even available.

Not the same quality as older Garmin devices.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an older top of the line Nuvi model. Thought I would splurge & get the big screen. Screen is nice, but everything else about it is a downgrade from my Nuvi. Build quality, features, mount, everything! I see that Garmin doesn't make anything better than this one any more, so I will stick with my old Nuvi till it dies.

Instructions not included
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product came with a single sheet of suggested dialog for interfacing with the gps. No written instructions for installation or operation. Package said compatible with Apple iphones, no mention of Android. The location I was at did not have ready access to the internet so I would have to drive to the library or internet cafe to get instructions. I never would have purchased this item if I knew how difficult it would be to get it set up.

Obsolete out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clunky and slow user interface combined with outdated maps (US and Europe) and inability to find addresses or points of interest make this device useless. It was this way 8 yrs ago and nothing has changed. Stick w/phone and Google maps. Will return this junk ASAP.

GPS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used a GPS for years and have been very happy with the Garmin brand until this one. It was the only one that they had in stock when mine went bad, so I thought why not? It is the worst GPS I have every had the misfortune to use, You have to take too many steps to get anywhere with it, I like a simple tell me where I need to go and get me there GPS. About a third of the oversized screen is taken up by the trip data. Wasted space. I would not recommend this to anyone. I will continue to use the Garmin Brand. I did use it on three long trips thinking it would get better, it locked up and had to be restarted 3 different times. Not worth the money.

Posted .While the GPS is ready to use out of the box, we suggest checking for map and software updates that were released 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. Additional help can be found on the Garmin Support Center.

NOT WHAT WE NEEDED.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IT TOOK US THROUGH WYOMING. NEEDED TO GO THROUGH DENVER TO SIOUX FALLS. SOME FUN OUT OF THE WAY ROADS. WE RETURNED IT, AFTER FINDING 5 DIFFERENT WAYS TO GO FROM OUR HOTEL TO OUR SONS HOUSE OVER 5 DAYS. GETTING BACK WAS DIFFERENT EACH TIME.

Works
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works like it's supposed to, nice display. But it won't track me, which i found only the Tread models do. But those are extremely expensive and i can't afford. Might as well buy a tablet and just blue tooth onX to it.
