    Good, but still freezes like my old one.

    I like the voice nav, but it still likes to freeze every once in a while. I like the split screen lane guidance that show's what lane you need to be in on the highway. Sattelite accuracy still tells me to turn .2 clicks from the corner when going home.

    I had a death in the family and drove from Texas to North Carolina. The Garmin made all of the difference. Garmin made sure I made all the right truns and gave me a great view of traffic and speed linits I had to keep.

    It have no problem and I'll used every day, Im happy with it and I'll recommend this to anyone who needs one. Is better if you used your cell phone GPS, but then you are using your carrier data plan. Your choice.

    I have been able to use the Nuvi on several different trips and it is so much better than an older one I had. I really found the lane assist most excellent. Was quick to readjust trip. Highly recommend this one.

    Bought unit as my older nuvi maps were outdated and not on an update plan. The new one has real time traffic updates which took me on a less congested route in Orlando Fl what a time saver, great unit to use!

    Great improvement from my previous GPS, far better than TomTom; which take so long to start. This GPS has Bluetooth so much convenience. Got this as Christmas present as I am on the road often related to work

    This is the 3rd Garmin I have owned. Each new system has additional features that make navigation simpler. When going to locations you have not previously visited, the Garmin reduces the stress of the unknown.

    This model is much faster on satellite acquisition. The lifetime map upgrade is a plus our older model did not have. The voice command is also a very helpful hands free feature. Over all a very welcome upgrade.

    We decided to buy a second Garmin for our other vehicle. Great product. Has more features than our first one and was better price. Particularly like the feature of showing you a picture as well as directions.

    I bought this unit for my sister who has never owned a GPS before. I did have the opportunity to use it and see it work a few times though, so I have a little bit of knowledge. It works very well and seems very accurate. We looked at the other Garmin unit that has live traffic that's about $20 cheaper, but this one has a much more responsible touch screen, and seems to work faster. The only negative about this unit is the live traffic. I have never seen other units or brands do live traffic, but I do use Google maps on my phone. I didn't expect the Garmin to be anywhere as good since it's not connected to the internet, but it didn't even work at all during normal traffic. I only used it in traffic once, but it wasn't abnormal. Overall, this is a very good GPS unit as long as you don't expect the traffic to actually update.

    Purchased it after 4 years of using of TomTom, another great navigator. However, Garmin is much more user-friendly and easy to navigate in North America.

    This was an upgrade from an older Garmin unit and provided all the features I needed at a reasonable cost. I especially like the Voice Command capability. The display is very clear and appealing. Great buy!

    When my Tom-Tom would not hold a charge any longer, it was time for a replacement. I wanted to find one with a Bluetooth hands-free option, in case my rental car didn't have one. This Garmin fit the bill to a tee. I don't travel enough to justify a really expensive unit, but this Garmin was fine. The Bluetooth function works well, and the GPS locks onto the satellites much faster than my older Tom-Tom. Having lifetime maps and traffic was icing on the cake. I know there's a menu option to see what the satellite lock looks like, but haven't stumbled across it yet.

    This was a good purchase, it does what it says it does and the voice command on it is pretty good at picking up what I say if I don't have music on. My only qualm with the purchase would be the price. I just think it is a tad too high.

    We upgraded to this from the TomTom VIA 1515 within one day of getting the TomTom. Out the box it worked without issue, the only major issue I have with it was the Update Software, once installed on the system, every time you restart your system you would end up with a UAC approval box as it wanted to do some admin function that required elevated permissions (At this point I'm not even using the software as I've already updated the device) The Navigation of the system works as expected, though the maps can be a bit outdated depending on the construction in the area. The voice commands work well enough as long at the environment isn't too noisy.
