    Garmin continues to provide the best GPS on the market. The price was nice and affordable for this especially combined with a coupon. I will be using it for my upcoming road trip.

    This is undoubtedly most accurate navigation tool to use on road. You do not need to worry about signals (like using your phone). Do not forget to update your maps!!

    Bought this for my son because it had good reviews and it seemed to be a best seller. My son complains that it doesn't always recognize address's. The app on his phone works better.

    I am always traveling. Whether it is for my business, travel sports for my children or leisure I am always GPS'ing my location. I have always relied on my phones GPS and wanted to cut back on data use since I use it to stream music as well while I am on the road. I saw a sale for this Garmin for $99. Purchased. Updated online. Still cant find addresses. At least on my phone it will get me to the road if it cant find the exact home/buiding. It is frustrating. I would go with a GPS that has speech to text because typing in the information takes way too long and is frustrating when it does not recognize your touch (which is often).

    I do a lot of yard sales, and need to type in various destinations. I was not able to do this on this model. Upgraded to the 2597.

    Sometimes after starting the GPS the voice hangs and it will take easily 2 to 3 minutes after driving for the GPS to bring back the voice. sometimes it becomes very risky when you are travelling in a new route.

    Even after updating the maps through the garmin express application, the GPS still does not include many of the newly built roads, price wise it is fine.

    When we got it home it was missing a part. Best Buy was wonderful about it and gave us a brand new one. The manufacturer should be more careful.
