    If you travel in a rental car, this GPS unit is for you. Rather than sync you mobile phone, exposing who knows what personal information, with whomever uses your rental vehicle in the future, this GPS is your answer. It recognizes voice commands for hands free calls and directions. It also has four square built in for finding attractions and points of interest in any area.

    Even better than I expected. My job requires me to be able to route shape. Other GPS will take me back to my current location after every marker placed. This GPS doesn’t do that. The map stays where you have it until you change it. Lots of added features like voice command and short cuts. Love this GPS and I highly recommend!

    We wanted something that would work when we didn't have service on our cell phones. So far it has worked everywhere we have gone. Went with the bigger screen so much easier to see.

    Love the size. This is fast. Display is great. Includes a lot of features, some of which I use and some I don't need. Larger suction cup holds the GPS to the windshield well.

    I love everything about this Garmin, it’s massive screen size and the fact it isn’t heavy makes it stay suction cupped to your window.

    Love the Display. Love how it works once you find the address!!!!! Four square and trip advisor still have difficult time finding businesses/ hotels if not spelled exactly the way Garmin wants it. Sometimes I do 5 or 6 searches to find what I want. Nice new feature, it beeps when speed limit drops. What’s up ahead is still difficult to set the way you want it.
