    Box stated it possessed all North American maps. As it turns out, it does not. It does not have Canadian maps. These must be downloaded from the products primary website. I was very dissapointed to discover this fact after purchase and in the process of taking my vacation.

      The nüvi 57LM box should indicate that it is preloaded with detailed maps of the lower 49 U.S. states. If your box does not indicate this, please contact our support team via http://garmin.com/support for assistance. \tw/ Garmin

    Received this and returned it the same day. Could not reset home address from where it was manufactured so packed everything up and drove to Best Buy and the Geek Squad couldn't do it either and that was a sign to me to get my money back and forgot the whole thing.

    This was my 3rd Garmin GPS device. They have about a 2 year life it seems. This 3rd purchase was defective out of the box and I returned it. The service tech could not get it to work and agreed that it was defective. I now rely on my Subaru integrated GPS.

    Garmin is the best GPS that I have. The must important is you choose a model with lifetime map updates. Pay attention of this model nüvi® 57 Part Number: 010-01400-00, it doesn't have update. The model 57LMT Part Number: 010-01400-02 have "lifetime¹ map updates and traffic avoidance²".

    My work takes me on the roads and highways daily. This unit is OKAY as long as you stay on major highways, but does a VERY POOR job at county and rural area roads. DOES NOT know paved roads from dirt roads and the fastest routes

    This GPS is horrible. It delays when it needs to talk. I missed my exit because it didn't say anything until after I missed it! I bought this brand because I read great reviews about it, but now I am a nonbeliever.

    Not good in Boston, MA! Sent me the wrong way when the highway was straight ahead. Multiple times it went the long way or the wrong way. Also hard to read. Better to use Google maps on your phone.
