    Purchased this GPS for one child and then purchased another for a second child. Like the idea of expandable memory via SD Card slot since GPS maps are larger than they used to be.

    Tells you in plenty of time when to turn. You don't have to change the city before you add an address. Includes map updates.

    First time buying a Garmin GPS and I like the UI and response from touch inputs. Also, it has a much louder and clearer speaker.

    I had an old Garmin GPS that needed a map update. It was a better deal to buy this new one that comes with Lifetime Maps. Works great and fit on my old stand to boot.

    This gps does not have traffic update feature. Not used extensively but faced issues with poor satellite connectivity inside the home. On roads, it worked well.

    my first one froze after inputting in an address so had to exchange for another one. so far haven’t have chance to try out the 2nd one yet but hope it can be more reliable.. i own another garmin gps and it does its job but don’t expect it to know everything as a smartphone. i only bought this b/c my smartphone losses signal in dead spots at times and the price was very good for black friday

    I bought this Nuvi 55 to replace a lost Nuvi for local use. I found that it is almost as functional as a much more expensive Nuvi 3590 that I use for trips.
