    The lifetime updates simply add great value to this easy to use tool. The ability to find those out of the way places where businesses are located, where grandkids have activities, and where restaurants are hidden -- not to mention special beach or mountain getaways -- makes this tool a must for modern day living.

    I bought my first Garmin in 2011, so I've had it for 6 years. It's been great but lately, it been indicating that the battery is low. I've tried to recharge it but it always reads "low battery". I thought I could replace the battery, but you can't. I finally purchased a new Garmin. It works great.

    I was relocating to a new state and needed a good buy cheap GPS. After doing some research I decided to go with this garmin. I was pleasantly surprised with its performance. It was easy to setup and use and the free life time map updates makes it a no brainer. I would definitely recommend this unit.

    Easy to use and directions have been accurate so far. Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Helps me not to have to write down directions for her as well. Plan to use it on long road trip this summer where cell access might be spotty. Only wish it had an external volume control, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

While we don't have this feature available, we recommend submitting the idea to our engineers over at our Ideas Portal (www.garmin.com/ideas).

    Bought this to replace an older Garmin that finally got fried from the hot Florida sun and being in a black car all of the time. (If you want these things to last I do not recommend leaving it in the direct sun on the windshield in a parked car during the day.) I put the 57LM on a 600 mile test run and this is what I found: Satellite Acquisition is fast, under 10 Seconds, Route Calculations/ Recalculations is fast. So far, the Maps are pretty accurate and most of the "Up Ahead"/ Foursquare features. The Turn by Turn/ Garmin Real Directions are bang on as is the Lane assist and Junction View. The Destinations were spot on but a couple of the routings were not what I would have picked, but I had three options, Fast, Shortest or my way and the Unit would just recalculate. If I didn't know the area, the Unit would have got me there anyway. The Unit was easy to set up and the Menus were easy to navigate. I Recommend the Garmin - Nüvi 57lm 5 Gps With Lifetime Map Updates for people that can live without the voice command and do not mind manually entering your destinations.

    purchased as a replacement for an older Garmin. Cheaper to buy a new unit with lifetime map updates rather than pay for an updated map on my old unit. new unit has additional features like school zone alerts. Purchased when on sale and saved a few bucks and still received free shipping.

    The sale rep was very helpful. Assisted me in selecting a GPS that fit my needs and was on sale. I used it on may vacation and it works great. It is easy to use and very accurate. The only drawback is the time it takes to download updated maps. It took better than 2hrs to update the maps.
