    Works great, love the Bluetooth for calls and sending addresses!!! Voice commands work ok but could use slight improvement. Only downside I've found to this GPS is the inability to do map corrections.

    I just moved to Boise and I was always getting lost. This really helped me find my way around town. I am glad I bought it. The sales lady was really helpful and nice since I had no idea what I wanted.

    I specifically bought this product because of its' voice command feature and love the convenience of hands free voice command options! Since we tend to be on the road a lot, it was a great purchase for us.

    We had this same kind of Garmin for about 5 years and it was stolen. We bought one as close to the other because ease of use. The only difference is we made sure we got free maps. Well worth the price.

    Had a crazy software freeze-up less than a month after I began using that literally put me in an alternate, bizarro map universe. Reset cleared it. Preferred traffic display on earlier models. But all in all, was generally satisfactory until it got stolen in a car break-in.

    It gets me where I want to go and it shows gas stations, restaurants, and banks on the side close by if needed. The colors aren't as bright as the previous model, which I also had but the screen shattered.

    Needed a GPS in a hurry and did not have many options. For the price this was a good buy. When I travel long distances I wish I had a unit that could provide more info. Hated that of the three models available they all listed the same features, but prices were quite different.

    Very good price and solid GPS. Got it to use in Europe, and disappointed to end up with no maps loaded. Fixed that after the trip. Built in voice selections are all (two) and additional downloaded choices cost extra.
