    I've used a Garmin for the past 7 years as I travel across the country for my work - I have found the updates and improvements to be very helpful. This GPS is intuitive, ask and responds to voice commands and anticipates traffic issues frequently. Overall, I'm very happy.

    This is a very good GPS for the money. I especially like the lifetime maps and the fact that it zooms in on exits and shows the sign you should expect. Good job, Garmin!

    I got the new GPS because y maps were too old for my area on the old one, and it wasn't helping me much. I love the voice commands, though it sometimes cannot understand me!

    This navigation device does all that one would expect it to. No need for instruction book; it's easy enough to figure out. Only problem I have seen is display of vehicle speed/speed limit is not as easy to read as on the nuvi I bought 3 years ago for another vehicle.

    After using this for a couple of months, this was a good buy. It was a real upgrade from our previous GPS. Voice commands work smoothly, better than the car console even. Solid traffic info and flawless directions. Love Garmin and love this product.

    Bought this as an upgrade GPS for the Garmen I've been using for several years. Bigger display and the enlarged exit/lane features that pop-up as you approach interstate exits are wonderful. The traffic features have also been greatly improved.

    I did some research on what was in the market. My old car had a built it unit, but the new one did not. So I used the GPS not all the time but when I do this unit does the job well. Also with the traffic alerts it tells me of any problems, and give me a alternate route which is great.

    At 87 years old I appreciate that my Garmin GPS will get me home from anywhere I travel. It gives me the confidence to drive throughout Arizona, since all I have to do is enter my destination address and follow the voice and picture directions. Thank you Garmin!

    Have used TomTom for years. Warranty replacement was not available with the features, so I was switched to Garmin. Miss constant screen display for miles to destination and for traffic issues. Maps are certainly not as update as TomTom.

    I bought this GPS to navigate home and around another state while also replacing an existing GPS that had reached maximum capacity for upgrades. It did the job beautifully although the fonts are smaller than my precious GPS which made it a little more difficult to use while driving.

    I've wanted a GPS for sometime now I tend to use maps and the good old fashion way of getting to places. Now I'll have this to use which I have not gone anywhere where I needed it as of yet. Looking forward to it so my ratings can't be really accurate right now since I haven't given it a test run yet.

    1. There are several models that this brand offer to the public, any model more basic than this one, won't give any good experience. This one will give you enough. 2. The photos are great and appears when is most needed. 3. The maps are good, but the quality when zoom out is bad. 4, Very accurate
