Customer Ratings & Reviews

This GPS has it all. Local attractions right on the maps along with food and gas stations. The ease of operation is great and the lifetime maps makes this a great buy

I ordered this Garmin when I had to go on a trip from Cincinnati to Huntsville to Dallas. It was easy to set up and easy to follow. It gave me precise directions (never had to turn around) and whenever we made a stop, it picked up where we left off. It tells you your exits in plenty of time for you to not miss it; it even tells you what lane(s) to be in for the exit. It tells you what your speed is and shows you the time you would arrive at your destination. The only thing missing is a radar detector, but then, I wasn't looking for it to have that when I purchased it. This was an absolutely great purchase.

My previous Garmin was very outdated and it was cheaper to replace than upgrade. This Nuvi with lane assist is great!. The one downfall I have found is that this Garmin is not as quick to accept my fingerprint on the buttons as the previous. Oh well. Still a very good product.

Got this for a gift for a friend and now they do not get lost coming to my house. I have the same Garmin and I love it. Screen is big clear and it is easy to operate.

Make sure you read the manual carefully. Wait, it really doesn't come with much of one...you need to go online and download it there. My biggest concern during my first use, was "Where's the mileage remaining? All GPS have that. How was it possible this doesn't have it on the screen?" Answer: you kind of have to look for it. On the lower left part of the screen, the speed indicator, if you touch that "tab", it brings up trip information. Miles traveled since last reset, miles remaining to destination, time traveled, time stopped, etc. Some interesting information I wasn't completely expecting to see, It gave me all the miles we traveled on our trip (ouch!). Quite the handy little device. The screen resolution is good, clarity is great. There are several options in the Garmin site, which you will need to go to when you first get the unit to update the maps. Such options are different icons for the "vehicle" displayed on the screen. Sports cars, monster trucks, race cars, even airplanes (I chose the Spitfire airplane). Makes driving just a little more fun than just an arrow, I went this route because the GPS on my Samsung S5 rarely works. I also like the fact that I can keep this plugged in to an outlet that isn't constant power and when I turn the vehicle off, the GPS recognizes the loss of power and will automatically shut itself off. Do some exploring and play with the controls before you hit the road. A lot of hidden functions not on the main screen! Getting there is half the fun!

I bought this for a gift for a not very techie/somewhat directionally challenged family member. It has been a huge help to her as it's easy to use and just a great little unit.

It's easy to use. It's very easy to program. Directions are clear and concise. It directs you where you want to go without sending to places that don't exist.

Plantronics M95 Bluetooth Headset: Easy to use. I like this product because I can hear and it is hands free. I like the redial by touching my Bluetooth button. This has 11 hour talk time. That is great for trips.

This Garmin GPS (57 LM) is my latest in a series of Garmin GPS I have enjoyed owning, including the Nuvi 1450 LMT and the Nuvi 205W. All have been very satisfactory. In fact, I have come to rely on them to extent that I've tossed out my Thomas Brothers map books and AAA maps.

I had a TomTom, in which I owned for 8 years before purchasing this. I didn't realize how much clearer the Garmin's screen was, how much brighter, especially during the daylight hours. I don't have to squint or create a shadow to see the GPS while I'm driving. The voice is clear, directions gives you enough time to switch lanes if needed and reminds you how much further ahead you need to go, especially when you are in unfamiliar parts of town. Love this brand, although it took a few days to get accustomed to the settings and map. Hope it holds up and lasts as long as my other one did.

I brought this because we were going yo see my nephew in State College, PA and I did not want to use my phone GPS. It worked out great for us. A simple and easy to use GPS.

I love how my new GPS Garmin is set up it is a lot different from my old one but it has'nt got me lost. This was a great update and investment for the price.

Bought this for my daughter and it was extremely easy to set up and easy to use. She loves the lane information and the lifetime updates. Great buy for the money!

I considered a number of GPS options when it came time for me to upgrade; and given the deal that BB had on this one, I spent a lot of time looking thru the reviews on this model. This model has everything that an 'average Joe' could want in a GPS for getting around in. We took this to Notre Dame for a showcase baseball tournament and it performed flawlessly. We took it again to a showcase in Cincinnati, and it was awesome. This is a good buy for a minimal investment.

Unit worked very well for my needs and at a very good price. Would recommend to anyone that needs a navigation unit. Easy to use vs other manufacturers.

This is a great GPS for the price. It is accurate and easy to use. The live traffic is very helpful. I've used other brands and have gone back to Garmin.

this garmin gps is easy to use and reliable. with the lifetime map updates you can keep the map data up to date.

This is a very easy to use gps unit. The screen is large enough to be able to see when your eyes get older and the voice commands are easy to follow.

Easy to use, easy to read, great maps, perfect size. Love the spoken turn by turn directions that are given with just the right amount of advanced notice.

Great GPS. Got me through the elaborate maze-like streets of Boston and New York. Didn't have any trouble with losing satellite reception. Took a while to download the maps onto the unit. All around, very pleased with this purchase!
