    Bought my garmin on black friday and love it every since. The best part is it also tells you what streets and roadways are coming up on main screen.

    The screen is difficult to read in bright light. But I do like the voice for directing and the onscreen locations of streets as approaching wanted address.

    Spent one hour each, in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec city to find our hotel, since our Garmin did not work in all of Canada and had to rely on Google maps.

    Wish I could get more recent search data uploaded. Recently looked for a hardware store in my town and the suggested store had been closed for some time.

    The picture quality is excellent and I'm happy with the aps that come with it. The only drawback is the remote. It would be nice to have a keyboard.

    Came on time and so far my husband likes his present. He travels to diff work locations frequently, this allows him to not use his phone. Safer.

    I like that the Garmin GPS tells you what lane to be in when driving in big cities. Love every Garmin I owned. Lifetime maps update is a bonus also

    I returned a competitor's similar model which was totally dysfunctional in my opinion. I have an earlier version of this model that I continue to use in one of my vehicles. This operates a little differently, requiring that you type in street address and street name rather than zipcode first. Didn't take much to get used to and so far has been extremely accurate.

    I find this GPS very intuitive and very accurate. The graphics are easy to follow as well. It is great for someone who just needs a simple GPS and doesn't like using the phone for this function. I do wish it told you how much time was remaining in the trip though vs just the time of arrival. That is not a required function, but it is a nice thing to have.

    This is a typical Garmin GPS. I like the product but sometimes it gives unclear directions. It could be the settings I have it on or maybe the areas I'm driving in, but it's unclear. It says turn right but the turn is actually 800ft away and there are turns in between. Weird. My wife hates it...

      Thank you for taking the time to review the nüvi 55LM.

      The device will tell you ahead of time about an upcoming turn. However, the voice directions should include the distance and the street you're to turn on. For instance, "In 500 feet, turn right on Main St". The route is highlighted on the map to aid you. Also, the distance to the next turn, direction of the turn, as well as the proper lane to be in (if applicable) will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
      If anything seems unclear, please feel free to contact Garmin Product Support by visiting http://j.mp/GRMNSupport for further assistance. We'd be more than happy to help!

      We value your feedback. Thanks again. *CG Garmin
