Customer Reviews

Rip-off!
Garmin and Fodors should be ashamed of this product. The coverage is absurd. In Washington D.C. I looked for a restaurant near my current location. Nada, but I was surrounded by a wide variety of places to eat, some of them very highly rated by local media. This guide wanted me to go most of the way across town, an expensive cab ride, to a neighborhood that I was advised wasn't very safe. You're better off to Google the city before you visit and take along a few pages of printouts. Do not waste your money on this piece of garbage.

An Excellent Product for the Business Traveler
I have used this product for over a year and I am very happy with it. It may not be the best program for vacationers as one might require more details for a pleasure trip. However, for business travel this gives me what I need to know:

* The most popular restaurants and the price range of each

* Hotels situated in the major downtown and business areas

* Bars and other places for nightlife and entertainment

* Major points of interest

* General information about the city in question

Many of the reviews concerning this product complain about the lack of coverage. In smaller cities (and I spend time in them as well) the options for dining and entertainment are not as imposing as they are in, for instance, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Houston, Seattle, etc. I have used this guide in all of those cities plus many more and I have been very pleased with the information that it provides. I highly recommend it for those who require quick and reliable guidance while traveling for business.

Poor Choice for statewide travel
I purchased the Fodor's review for my statewide travel around Oregon. I'd hoped to find recommendations for the major cities, including the state capital. However, only Portland is mentioned and the reviews failed to capture the essence of this city.

Installation was easy and use was as one would expect of the NUVI.
