Customer Ratings & Reviews

this was the perfect birthday gift for our daughter

I find this GPS to be accurate and easy to use. I have found many locations using it without any difficulty. I am amazed at how quickly information can be entered and how fast directions appear.

I really like this GPS. It is easy and fast to use. Can find starbuck's in close or far away places. National and state parks easy to find. I have several other models Garmin just keeps getting better.

I like the bigger screen and the l ifetime updates

I drive around to farms all day, 4 to 5 days a week, for work and my route changes weekly. I bought this new GPS when my ancient one finally died. Of coarse I stayed with Garmin. I didn't need anything fancy and complicated. And I was on a budget. I read the reviews on several models and decided to go with this one. It was a bit of a change from my old one but was easy to figure out and has so many great features. The trip planner has been a life saver! You just add all your destinations and optimize the order and it plans your best route. Great product!

We have several - on cars and motorcycles. Got a new car, needed another GPS and Garmin was our choice. Easy to use. Can get lifetime updates. Easy to see while you're driving. No negatives!

Love this for traveling longer distances when I don't want to use my phone GPS. Love the split screen and the warning when driving through reduce speed school areas. Even tells you which lane to be in on major highway exchanges. Great product

This my third device of this model. I did not purchase a vehicle mount to go with it, and am currently using the suction cup mount that came with the device. The device would be more beneficial if I had a dash mount instead of the window mount. It's hard to install my sun visor without cooking my GPS as it would sit in front of the visor in direct sunlight (explosion hazard). However, it's easy to take the window mount off each time (though not convenient). I prefer Garmin brand and have owned several Garmin GPS's over the years. I even have a portable Garmin GPS in my Toyota Prius which came with it's own internal GPS (not very user friendly).

In the last 3 months I have visited friends in new housing complexes where the streets were only half completed. My GPS was right on time. I love the options and the price was a bang.

Very easy to use and read. Love how it shows road signs when you need to take an exit too. Great screen size, wouldnt want it any bigger. Price is reasonable for what you get.

I love the GPS and much prefer it over using my cellphone for directions. The unlimited lifetime map updates are a huge plus, wish I would have gotten the next model up with traffic updates too.

Easy to follow and very clear and easy to nsbigste

My Garmin Nuvi 1350T storage was full; the unit could not accept a map update. However, Garmin suggested using an (up to) 32GB micro card. As we were a week from leaving for Dallas, I went to Best Buy and bought a 32GB micro card AND the Garmin Nuvi 57LM -just in case my older model would not update. Best Buy agreed to my returning the unopened 57LM if the micro card worked. The card worked perfectly - a credit to Garmin and their commitment to the lifetime updates. I returned the 57LM but honestly liked the new screen and features (per reviews). Having your own GPS for travel is a must as you: 1) preload many of the locations that you plan to visit while at home; 2) avoid the rental car daily charge for a GPS; 3) do not have to spend time loading your planned destinations into the rental GPS, and 4) do not need to remember to delete your personal destinations from the rental unit when returning the vehicle and related hectic turn-in. Best Buy model and pricing are competitive and very helpful staff!

Great directional device for traveling. Provides, clear precise directions en route, background lighting adjustment automatic base on day/night lighting. The guidance this device provides gives me added confidence in my travels.

We tested it against car's gps and it was just the same. That was great. My son wanted it as a backup on trip across country. I would recommend it to anyone, Easy to use too.

This gps is the nicest one I have ever used. It is very easy to use and control. It is well worth the price and with lifetime map updates, it is the only one you will ever need.

Perfect size can be seen by both driver and passenger so both can follow directions. Navigation system shows all lanes and makes it easier to know where to turn.

After a year of purchase, this GPS still works without any issues. It is fast calculating directions and it is user friendly. Several voices to choose from. Free maps lifetime download is a great feature. The only thing that does not have is a compass, other than that good purchase.

Had an older model garmin that did not have life time updates. Decided to buy a new one that did. Worked like a charm for our trip to Texas last week. Easy to program.

This product totally exceeded my expectations. I've used the horribly expensive older GPS's in the past and none of the older ones even comes close to the performance this one has.
