I was using the map on my smart phone and about drove off the road trying to drive and look at the phone. That doesn't work. I invested in the Garmin and never looked back. It is so nice to look up where you are going and save yourself the stress of getting lost.

We've been using this GPS for more than 5 years and never complaint about it. Its affordable, compact and light weight. Its easy ti update the maps through a computer just connected with the USB and its very easy to use.

Love this garmin!!! It's super easy to use! Love that you can just click go home and you don't have to worry about how to get back home. It's so easy to use my 6 year old helps navigate using this. Wish the road updates were free but that's my only complaint with this garmin!

Better than my old Tom Gps. I like the screen which is clear and easy to manipulate. The screen size is enough for me. I also like the stick part. It is easy to stick to the windows. The accuracy is ok. The processing speed is fast most time. But sometimes it is very slow. The recalculation is slow.

I don't know what I would do without this GPS! I was never a good map reader, so had to get myself one of these. This one sports a 4.3 inch screen and includes free lifetime maps if you need to update the system. One feature that is very helpful is "Lane Assist". The gps tells you want lane you should go into to make turning easier and you won't accidently pass by your turn. The gps has turn by turn navigation and even speaks the street names to you instead of just saying "turn right in 100 feet" which can get confusing if you aren't sure how close you are to your destination. Overall, it is easy to use and a MUST for traveling!!

I love the Garmin. This seriously is the best product I have ever owned. Before this I was forever getting lost as I am really directionally challenged. Now that I have this it is much easier to get to places that I have never been before. The only slight negative is that I have had some troubles with newer roads in the area.

I am really impressed with this garmin. I love that it is small so I can throw it in my purse and take it anywhere. So far it's been extremely accurate. It is very functional and very easy to use. I had another brand of GPS which took forever to load but I don't have that problem with this one!

Have had other brands and Garmin is by far the best on the market. It is portable and nice. It has many options, lifetime map updating, live traffic and more. Love the ease of use and won't leave home without it. Have updated some of my favorite routes and it has never given me the wrong directions.

I love this gps. I love that the directions are spoken to you instead of you just looking at a map. My husband and I were sold on Garmin because the gentleman who sold it to us at best buy said that Garmin gets info from 8 different satellites which makes it the most accurate. Tom tom only uses and Magellan uses 3. Has some features that are very useful: the where am i feature, the traffic (THE TRAFFIC is amazing, it reroutes you to save times if there are delays or accidents). Processing Speed Very fast connecting to satellites

I love how easy the Garmin is to use and it always gets me where i need to go. Love it! Processing Speed I have never had to wait more that a few seconds for it to process address information and give the best route. Map Quality & Accuracy Very accurate. I have used it many times and only had to redirect once. Ease of Use very user friendly. I went over the user manual once and was good to go
