Customer Reviews

Love My GPS
Although I am usually not directionally challenged I got this just to make finding new addresses easier. The set-up is so simple it is hardly a "set-up". Took it to look at colleges in LA. Never got lost and never felt nervous being in a strange (unfamiliar - lol) land.

good model if you're on a budget
If you're not looking to spend a lot of money on a GPS unit and you just want the basics this will perform well for you.
My first trip with this unit was a 550 mile drive from the Carolinas to Pennsylvania. I jumped in the car in the morning plugged in the address and away I went. It calculated the route within a reasonable amount of time and only lost the satellite signal when going through tunnels. There was one point in the trip when the unit went crazy "recalculating" over and over. Apparently, this unit ships with some out-of-date maps.
Overall though, it's a solid buy for the money providing basic GPS functionality.

Simple, complete solution
This, the most basic of Garmin GPS units, quickly navigates me to my destination. I don't miss turns, I don't get lost, I don't get frustrated. I bought this unit for $150 and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. Buy this unit if .... you've got another brand and it's hard to use, you don't need Bluetooth enabled speakerphone (noisy), you don't need the unit to speak street names (talks too much), you don't need maps that aren't included (Europe, Canada, Mexico, etc..), or you don't need live traffic updates (a subscription service).
