    It's a lot better than the previous versions that I have the six and the Seven because I definitely use the voice command/ hey Garmin mechanism and this one's a whole lot faster than the other ones. The maps are still a little dicey cuz Garmin is not as good as Google but it does what I needed to do

    It connects to my phone so quickly, and the maps are not as up-to-date as I would like, but with the new road work, I understand that it wouldn't be.

    Although I like the size of the GPS, it is large and sometime it connects to my phone, because I haven't connected to Alexa..even though I don't have an active call. This could be minor glitch. This something I need to figure out

    Very good GPS with a crip sharp screen resolution. I give it 4 stars because I had to return the first unit because it stopped working, just went dead, after about 10 days and just wouldn't come on. I got a second unit and noticed that the screen was separating from the chassis right out of the box. Now I have the third one and hope this one will last longer and not have any issues.

    The Garmin screen is huge and has great clarity. We switched from 6.95” unit to 8” unit and what a difference. We use the Garmin instead of GPS system in the car because you can change and search without stopping the car.

    Nice large bright screen. Allows for random waypoint identification. Normal navigation without waypoint or saved setting is a little long before unit starts to display position.

    I got this to replace the gps I bought in 2018. This one is a big improvement and I love it. The screen is big and easy to read while driving. Only downside I’ve found is when I’m talking and accidentally activate the voice commands.
