My garmin is a must have for any time I leave town. I love the way I can store LOTS of locations. I would like to be promted if I am storing something with the same name. Instead the garmin just ignores the nickname I am giving it and list the address. So I try hard to number like locations. Wal-mart 1, Wal-mart 2, etc. I also wish the updates were better. Such as places that go out of business and new businesses. My DH loves using the bluetooth function and playing music through it.  My garmin makes getting around so much easier.

Garmin is the best ever.  I have not heard great things about other brands, but Garmin is it!  My husband drives for a living.  We used to have to map everything onto the computer print it off, and then have him carry the maps with him.  There were a lot of places that we unclear and he would call me to check the computer again if he wasn't in the right spot.  Well.....garmin has solved that problem for us.  He just plugs in the garmin.  He types in the address and away he drives.  There are options to evade toll roads, to go only on highways, to go the shortest route, or hit the detour...

I purchased this Garmin GPS and had never had any experience with GPS systems.  This was so easy to use right out of the box.   It is very simple to navigate and lots of nice features.

My husband bought us a Garmin Nuvi a couple of years ago.  We had absolutely no gps experience.  We do a lot of traveling and have always depended on those olden day things known as maps.  We did our fare share of mapping our route, trying to figure out the mileage and quickest route and of course, more than our fair share of getting lost.  But, all of that ended when we got our garmin.  My husband is one of that men that will read every review and article before he purchases something.  So, we bought the best and most reliable, a Garmin and we love it!!  That garmin goes everywhere with...

I absolutely love the Nuvi 265 WT.  I knew nothing about a GPS.  So I went online and went to a couple of different stores to play around with it.  At first I loved how the TOM TOM worked and how easy it was to use but noticed that the color was very bright.  So I tried the Garmin which has a noticeable difference in color.  The color on the Garmin is very bright and easy to see at night.  I love that it tells you what time you will arrive at your destination and it also tells you what the speed limit is in most places.  My favorite thing is that it tells you which way to go if you miss...

What a wonderful little device!  We never thought we would need a GPS system because we don't travel much outside of going to family events and familiar places.  But, boy has this Garmin come in handy!  We use it all the time and it has made traveling such a joy.  It has helped us come out of our "travel shell" and encouraged us to venture out more and explore.  A few of our friends have borrowed it for long out of state trips and they could not believe how helpful it was.  That's the main pro for a GPS system - how helpful it is.  It just takes the stress out of going places because you...

I like my Garmin Nuvi 255, we borrowed one from a friends to help us find a venue in the town we live in, we'd never been there before and had to be there at a certain time. Since then, we've purchased one for our family, and use it in all vehicles. It has helped us out time and time again - locally (I'm very good at getting lost around town - it's a big city), this always helps me find my way, and if all else fails, I can click my faves. and 'Home' and get home from whereever I am.

The only thing I found annoying was sometimes the quickest route is not the quickest route. It seems to take you...

This item was great while it worked. Their tech servioce had us send it back after a long time on the phone. Sent us a refurbished model and it does not work right either. Maybe we just got unlucky. If I were going to buy one again I would check out many reviews for how lng the product worked well. One plus is that the tech service was very polite. They also acted like they have seen the same problems before.

We are really disappointed because as I said we liked it, while it worked. It sat well on the dash. You could speak to it. Listen to it out of its own built in speakers or hook it up to your...

I purchased the Garmin 205 last Christmas as a present for my husband.  Unfortunately for him, it is in my vehicle more often than his vehicle!  I thought it would be a "gadget"; something fun to have but of little value on a day to day basis!  Boy, was I wrong!  We use it weekly, sometimes daily!  I use it for work trying to find different locations.  We use it in attending all the various sports activities our three children are involved in playing.  We use it to locate garage sales, estate sales and antique shops!  It helps us when we are traveling to find local interests;  area restaurants,...

I bought this garmin over a year ago. I ALWAYS get lost, so when I had to commute to college which was a good 25 minutes away, where i've never really driven around, it was a must to get. The garmin still works as great as the day I bought it. The only problem i've ever has is with construction and routes being messed up. Definitely update your maps, or it'll tell you to turn off a overpass randomly. From all the use i've done with it, and the times where i've dropped it, it still works awesome. It has a lot of features, you can definitely personalize it to your likings. The cars can be changed,...

I am not a techy person in any way, but I love having access to technical things.  I bought a GPS for my husband for his birthday, and he loves it.  I was very hesitate to buy one, thinking we could look up anything  or anywhere we needed to go on the intranet and print off the directions.  I feel like I know the city I live in fairly well and felt we had no need of one,  but my husband really wanted one, so I caved.  I cannot tell you how pleased I am that I bought it!  It is user friendly and very easy to use.  I love being able to look up the closest restaurant or where the closest pharmacy...

This GPS, like most others in the market, are life-savers for any traveller. Be it a trip to the new supermarket or a vacation across the country, the Nuvi 200 will set you up so that you don't get lost along the way. Forget Mapquest or Google Maps, the GPS gives me directions and maps in real time as I am driving so that I always find my way and reach my destination safely and on time. Before reaching a turn, it always alerts me a decent distance before the intersection (and not at the last minute, unlike some other older models). The fact that you can save destinations and even listen to music...

My husband is a truck driver and he owns a Garmin Nuvi 205W and he swears by it. We just recently moved from my home state of Ohio to his home state of Mississippi. He stays out 5 weeks at a time. He figured since he is hardly home that I need a navagation system to find my way around. I was apprehensive at first. I don't adapt well to modern technology sometimes. But I can honestly say that its the best investment I think we have ever made. I can go explore anywhere and not have to worry about finding my way home or getting lost trying to find where I am going. I love the feature that you can...
