    Used for a Florida to Maryland vacation. Would never have found our destinations without Garmin talking me through driving directions.

    After wanting to update my 6 year old Garmin I realized I could replace it with a newer larger model with free lifetime map updates, for the same price it would cost to update what I had. Just took a 12hr trip and the GPS performed amazing. The traffic alerts only work in certain areas, but we're accurate when alerted.

    Great GPS, too much technology

    Great level of detail on routes to the point of showing road branches down to the lane you need to be in. Very easy to read. I'm a realtor so I use it daily. Too much technology. I don't use blue tooth and voice recognition gets it wrong 50% of time. I should have bought the model 1 level down without voice recognition. I thought it would save time punching in addresses. I would definitely recommend the model one level below this unit only difference is blue tooth and voice recog.

    I really like the Garmin Nuvi! It is great to use the voice commands when driving so you can really be hands free driving. I would l highly recommend this one. Also the turn by turn instructions are much better than they used to be. I do miss having the multiple things on the screen such as total time to distance, time etc. You can only select one or two things.

    I bought this so I can eliminate using my phone. This would work but not provide live updates on road blocks and live traffic. It was good but sometime satellites won't pick up and that it would tell you if you took a wrong turn too late.

    This unit may need an update right out of the box When I speak an address in this unit it never understands the address and I end up typing it manually in the other thing is, it is hard to understand spoken street names. Other then that it works good.

    the garmen came without an instruction manual...it's total guess work on how to get the best performance from it...still cannot get the Bluetooth option to work. I would suggest trying another navigation system, not too happy with this one.
