    I am very happy with my Garmin 2597LMT. It has taken me from Hendersonville, NC to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and back with nary a hitch. It connects flawlessly with my cell phone and the voice command function works very well. My unit needed can update to the maps right out of the box, but the update process was flawless as well. I have also used it locally to get to a restaurant that I hadn't visited before. Again, performance excellent.

    Abundant features and great display. Lifetime maps and great size color. Dynamic model that is great for hands free. Bought for my brother who specifically requested this model after doing a great deal of research. He loves it and stated it has made his travels much easier. Garmin is a trusted provider of GPS navigation systems. He also purchased the weighted bag dash display to hold the device. Best Buy was able to provide as well.

    I bought this particular GPS for a vacation. After completing the map updates, it was very easy to setup and personalize for my trip (hotels, gas, food and even our entertainment). The voice commands and voice prompts were very simple to use, even while driving. I would recommend this GPS to everybody... I am more than satisfied with this purchase!!

    Got this new Garmin because it had lifetime updates. The price was on sale and when I got to the store it was even cheaper because of an instore sale price. Works great and well worth the price. Thanks Best Buy!

    This Garmin nuvi model finds its current location within seconds of being turned on, thus no long wait to get going. And the real time traffic feature prevents you from getting suck in a traffic jam ahead. And the address search capability crosses city boundaries, so no need to know and enter the name of the town. I was thoroughly impressed.

    i bought this for my son-in-law for Christmas. He loves it. He is having to travel a lot in his job and is very pleased with the performance of this Garmin. It gives him specific directions to where he is going, as well as restaurants, gas stations, etc. He is definitelly sold on it. We have an older model. Now, I'm wishing we had one like his.

    I had been using my cell phone for a long time and i just got tired of signal loss and draining my battery. I owned a Garmin before and when I tried to update it crashed i got frustrated with customer service and gave up. I decided to give it one more try and i love it easy to use and i was able to customize it as well. You don't have to guess about what lane to be in either.

    Generally works well enough. Most helpful when used to get around unfamiliar areas. Does not always give you the best route. (It will sometimes give you a slightly shorter but much more complex route.) Also, the route the GPS chooses can often take quite a bit longer than other routes. It does not seem to take traffic conditions into account. The bluetooth connection allowing hands free use of a phone was useful to me, since my vehicle does not have that feature built in.

    My first Garmin had technology which would tell you your current street and the next upcoming cross street. That is really helpful in knowing exactly where you are at all times. I searched for that technology in my next one but couldn't find it. Had to settle for one with just cross street names on the map, but that's hard to see. Then I found this one with that capability and voice command technology which is neat.
