    Love the voice command which isn't advertised on this model. The voice guided feature is better than past models. Easier to understand and less computer sounding. The price was good too.

    It works as promised, use Bluetooth with cell phone and works well though with the small speaker not stellar (bot pretty good for the size) tons of features and lifetime maps. Great for the price and does everything I wanted it to do and more.

    I bugged my husband until he got me my own. He has one for his truck. I take my son to many out of area sports games and it works great to get me where we need to go. It gives clear instructions and is very easy to program. I love the split screen that shows the lanes on the freeway and where I need to be to exit. This makes my life much easier and I feel safer knowing where I need to go.

    This is a nice GPS unit. I like the lane assist feature. My previous GPS unit did not do this and could cause confusion when navigating freeway exits and mergers. This one tells you in plenty of time which lane to be in.

    Once you use a GPS and know how to use it and follow directions you seem lost without one in a car. I know where I'm going most of the time but when you hit a detour or traffic jam and need a new route that's when they come in handy. Love the bluetooth for phone usage. Just say the number or use the phone book on your phone to dial for you. All you say is"voice command" and the GPS comes to life and asks you want you want to do. Find a place, an intersection, an address, use the phone, set the volume and more. You really don't have to touch it to use it.

    It's a Garmin so fairly easy to use and pretty reliable. So that's all good. The downside the directions are sometimes left at some gas station...like make a left at the Arco. I can read the street name now where do you search the landmark it tells you I am not familiar with that area hence using the GPS. Another thing is its routing is not always right. It instructed me to make a u turn where it was not allowed. There was a sign no left.. and this location was just outside SFO at the Rental car entry That's was the worst thing and pretty frustrating. Other than that no problem a fairy ok device overall

    This is a very solid standalone system. Lifetime maps are somewhat common but still nice to have. Updates do not take that long. Pairs with phone to allow for you to use it as a Bluetooth speaker for vehicles that do not have it equipped.

    This is an upgrade for me. I love it. It acquires satellites almost immediately. It offers a choice of routes. When on a highway it displays the expected exit sign. And approaching the exit the screen splits with a photo of the exit ramp.

    Haven't purchased a GPS in over 10 years. Like features & pretty easy to use, even for someone who isn't too tech savvy. Would recommend this product to others. Light weight & compact.

    Bought this before traveling cross country. Keeps up with live traffic and construction. Has been a life saver. Bought the weather feature and that has been very helpful. Definitely recommend. This is my third type of gps and by far the best.

    Immediately, when I receive the GPS, I read the instructions and then downloaded the latest map software. A few days later, while traveling from Westfield, Massachusetts, to West Haven, Connecticut, I tried it out. It worked perfectly.

    This is a replacement for the Garmin Nuvi we bought in 2010 that recently died. Wow, how things have changed. This one is amazing! It is voice activated, works great with the phone and is much more intuitive and functional. Love it!

    This GPS had a well balanced set of feautures that are useful, and it has worked well for me so far. Price was about right compared with other models. The app used by my iPhone to connect with the unit has some minor problems, but that is really the only complaint.

    I used to be a TomTom owner, but have had several issues with my previous unit. I decided I would go with another brand. Awesome product. I like how it comes with lifetime map and traffic updates for free(my TomTom has this as well). It also has handy voice commands as well. The traffic feature has come in handy numerous times. During the summer as we all know is a perfect time to do road construction. It knows what route I will be taking in the future and it warns me plenty of time in advance if there is construction up ahead or not. I totally recommend a Garmin.

    I've owned two other Garmin GPS in the past and I needed a more updated with high tech features but didn't want to explode my wallet on cost. This Garmin was worth the cost and is packed with tons of features that keep your road trip on track. Very good investment.
