    Love my new Garmin. This is my second Garmin and I love it better than the first. The upgrades are better and it's easier to navigate the device.

    This GPS works well and does have accurate data. However, I have never been able to get the traffic alerts to work because I don't live in a big city. Also when I speak an address it rarely understands what I've said. When I type in an address everything works fine and it has helped me many times.

    Great product, love the live traffic updates. The only problem I have is it is more difficult to change the state. Once done it's easy to use.

    I had a Garmin GPS prior and I loved it! The new car I purchased did not have hands free. So I purchased this for the bigger screen and the Bluetooth. I'm so disappointed... It's clear if I'm going at a slower pace. But once I pick up speed or go on the express way, forget it! It breaks up on my end and nobody can hear me on the other end...So, so sad...

    I bought this GPS in an effort to save $ on all the mobile data I was using. I got it on sale for under $200. For the price and options available, it was clearly the best choice for me. Bluetooth isn't excellent, but is good enough to get by if you don't already have hands free calling installed in your vehicle. Voice command feature is great in theory allowing you to find an address or location without typing, but sometimes cannot understand the simplest of commands. It can be a great help, or a terrible frustration. Operation is fairly strait forward and very similar to previous models. As compared to google maps, it is surprisinly hard to find alternate routes with the garmin without changing trip preferances, such as "fastest time" or "shortest distance". This may get better as I become more familiar with the gps. I have kept an eye on the speed limit displayed on the device and have not noticed any discrepancies with the posted speed limits unless going through construction zones or other such places with temporary speed changes. Overall, very accurate. I have also noticed school zone notifications that have been quite accurate. Pictures of major intersections, exits, and lane selection are very helpful as well. Lifetime updates is great, but be advised: to my understanding after visiting the Garmin website, you have to keep your device updated in order to keep lifetime map updates. If you don't update within a period of 2yrs, you have forfeited this agreement. If you plan on using your GPS for more than a couple years, periodically updates your device. Overall, this is an above average product with more features than most basic GPSs.

    No big surprise with this product. It's my third Garmin GPS. Voice control is useful, as are free map upgrades! But Garmin STILL has not changed the fact that the current location is the CENTER of the arrow icon, not the point of the arrow! It's like thinking you are touching something with your index finger when it's really your elbow that defines the location! WHY????? (Garmin isn't the only one who does this; most do. I did see a built-in GPS in a Hyundai which had it right!) I like it and expect it to last a long, long, time.
