    This is my first GPS. The traffic feature attracted me to this model. Can't recommend-go cheaper without it or more expensive with the HD traffic. First trip was to St Louis and it directed us to an exit that appeared to have been closed for some time. Second trip was to DC. It picked up non-existent delays, overstated a minor delay and completed missed a 40-minute delay for bridge work in Ohio that pretty obviously had been underway for a while. The lane directions in the city were good but sometime a little too late for turns.

      Thank you for your feedback. Traffic data must be reported, otherwise the device will not receive the information. Timing can be very important in these situations.

    I am pleased with the GPS thus far. The satellite picks up quickly and the database of availabme locations is expansive. It also has a built in voice detector which is a big bonus.

    Purchased this GPS before going on vacation. It took us everywhere we wanted to go and assisted us when we made a wrong turn. Made all the difference in the world. If you have the address, it can get you there! Somewhat pricey, but everything you want and need is included in the unit, no add-ons needed. Have ridden with some earlier GPSs', this model has come a long way in improvements.

    My son got this because his old GPS didn't have free map updates. He's very happy with this one. He says it's much faster than his previous one.

    I replaced my old TomTom gps because I wanted bluetooth technology for my cellphone and was tired of paying for map updates. Yet, after owning the Garmin for approximately 3 weeks I noticed that many of the routes that I used to take with the TT were now routed much longer with the Garmin. Living in a metropolitan area I frequently change back and forth between highway and non based on the time of day, to avoid traffic. It was quite laborious to switch back and forth between highway and non highway routes. On the plus side, the Garmin rerouted quite quickly and I loved the feature to ADD destinations to an existing route. That was very helpful when I wanted to stop somewhere along a long trip. I didn't care for the voice selections either; wanted a male European voice which wasn't an option.
