    I love this GPS! I have a had a few different GPS units over the years, but this one is great! Voice for street names, and landmarks - such as turn left at the stop sign, are really nice. Also the free lifetime maps doesn't hurt, in the old days those maps would add up quickly!

    I like voice command but when giving address or place it does not relate to what you ask it to do. Sort of frustrating. I do like the product and I would recommend it but they do need to work on the voice command feature

    Thes best yet I have for bluetooth hands free phone, traffic guides, and was of address entry. Needs to have less scrolling in categories. Food choices have too much scrolling just to get to fast food or spell name of restaurant.

    This is easy to operate and that's a big plus. The only thing is that the screen is hard to see during the day. We tried it on the dash in a sand bag and then bought a device to put on the air vent and that didn't work either. It's very faint. See able but not the best.

    The touch screen takes some getting use to but works well. The unit has a memory large enough to contain all 49 North American US States and Canada. Having had another Garman I was able to learn to use this one quickly enough. I love the picture of the freeway exit and showing the lane(s) to be in.

    I have had Garmin gps for many years and am a big fan. Now that I travel to Canada once in awhile I needed expanded maps. This was a nice seamless upgrade. It would be nice if there was a good way to transfer all my favorites.

    Love this GPS. The 3D pictures of your turns leaves no confusion when to turn or what lane to be in. Voice command is a nice feature but I do not think it learns speech patterns and comes up with some strange locations.

    It gives directions, so it works. Not flexible, tightly programmed to have limited features and constrained options. Very basic user interface. Does not seem to want to remember locations. Distance to location countdown not an available setting option.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify on one of the concerns you voiced. The distance to location IS an option on the nuvi. To set this as your data field, you must have a route entered. Once the route has been calculated completely, tap the data field on the lower-right portion of the map screen (the one next to the menu/three lines button).

      The next screen will provide you with various data options to set. One of them will be called "Destination Distance." Please note that this and other data options are ONLY available while the device is actively routing you somewhere. Thank you! -JPKGarmin

    This has been a good GPS for us. Some of the route recommendations are a little strange at times but it still gets us where we're going. The voice command feature is very nice and pretty reliable. It sometimes struggles understanding my wife but I've had no issues using it.
