Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this GPS as a replacement for my previous GPS that I had for over 3 years. This unit has a very large screen that took some getting used to. The voice command works well. This unit connects to WiFi to get updates. The first update took about 2 hours to upload. It has several upgrades that my previous Garmin didn’t have. It has alerts for speed changes, railroad crossings, and school zones. It will also let you know if you are traveling the wrong way on a street. The sound quality is good but I haven’t used it as a speaker for my phone as my vehicle has Bluetooth capability. Hopefully this unit will last as long as my previous Garmin.

I bought this GPS to replace an older Garmin model that was still functioning well. I am glad that I did. The improvements in this one, besides the larger screen, are outstanding. The directions given are very clear and it is almost impossible to make a wrong turn. The lane guidance is also excellent and clear, but you still have to pay attention, as it sometimes puts you in the far right lane when you can turn from the two right lanes. It comes with lifetime map updates and lifetime traffic. It is a great tool and much better than using the map function on a phone.

I bought this to replace my 6 year old Garmin. So far this is the best one to date, all of the features are easily usable and the voice activation has not misspelled or misdirected. This one is so user friendly and easy to use. I recommend all others to upgrade as soon as they can.

This GPS does a lot of things that help you get through traffic. The traffic alert is great if you are not sure of traffic problems ahead of you. Speaking the commands makes the unit hands free. The way it lets you know that you are over the speed limit is cool and very noticeable.

The larger size of this Garmin is great for reading the screen; however, the weight makes it harder to keep it supported where I can see it; therefore only the four stars. I ordered a size-specific vent mount for this, and it still sits precariously and is easily toppled off. The Garmin has some great settings -- i can make calls through it with my smart phone if the car doesn't have a Sync system, and my dad can track me on my trips through the Track Drive app; which sometimes sets his mind at ease. Pictures of freeway signs appear when necessary to guide me along multi-lane areas, construction areas are noted in advance as i drive and it even suggests when i should take a quick break from driving.

my friend and I were on a trip in Boston and he was renting a car and it didn’t have GPS so we decided instead of him using his iPhone and wasting his battery he get a Garmin. He’s enjoyed it so much he named it Sondra

Easy to use, neat voice command feature, works well.

Big beautiful screen with a touch sensitive screen. The touch on this screen has greatly improved over old models which lacked sensitivity. This unit also has bluetooth so if you have an older car that is not bluetooth capable you can pair your phone with this GPS and use this unit for hands-free cellular mic/speaker. The voice recognition has also substantially improved and you can talk it through some fairly complicated searches without ever touching the unit. A huge improvement over older models. Lifetime free map updates via wifi/bluetooth also a nice touch.

The voice command is okay. Sometimes it fails to hear when me when I say voice command and must use the touchscreen. I have raise my voice at it so it understands. Othewise I like it. Much easier to us then my previous Garmin LM50. I love the fact I can talk to it. It is much easier to find locations.

This GPS is easy to operate and works well. Voice command allows hands free operation and the large screen is easy to read and follow navigation.

After much research I settled on this garmin as had a garmin before. Dont regret it. Really like the voice command for directions although sometimes it does not understand me often gives me several options. My phone connects automatically so it is easy to talk while driving if neccessary. Like all of them it occassionally takes the long way around or can't find an address but I do need to update it which is free. Warns me of school zones etc.

I use this gps everyday and wanted to wait because of other Best Buy reviews I went on and decided to purchase it anyway and I sure am glad I did. This makes my driving job so much easier and I have had a month and it hasn't sent me the wrong way yet!

It's a big screen great color easy to use even has pictures of what the exit signs look like only downside is that the maps sometime takes you strange ways

the GPS is large which is easier to see, but alittle distracting because it blocks more of the front window. it has many good features. The machine tells you what lane to be in for the best exit on highways. screen splits and gives a more realist view of the road, voice control is a nice feature for trying to find places of interest. very up to date and useful

My other Garmin got thrown away in the move. So I needed one for my business trip. I ended up getting the 6" instead of the 5 " and I like it better since I am not young anymore. Worked great in Canada and cannot wait to try it in other countries.

Love the large screen and very easy to use. Bought new car with no gps. I have alway had. But would be 2400 dollars more ridiculous. So reviewed this one. Was impressed. Love it you can up date for free about every couple months. Worth the money

Hands free operation with "Voice Commands" really makes using this GPS convenient. Has helpful lane illustration. Background noise can decrease the accuracy of what the GPS interprets. Radio at low volume does not typically cause interference.

We are talking HUGE improvements from the early Garmin GPS! The larger screen allows the unit to display a split screen detailing the turns, or exit you are approaching, it even tells you what lane to be in on the highway. The actual road signs are pictured on the unit so there is little confusion where you must turn or exit! It connects with your smart phone with a free app, to detail traffic ahead, and can display traffic cameras ahead. It can be used voice activated, and can sync with your address book, and make and display phone calls and texts. I recently had to travel alone to a destination I had never been to, 9 hours away from home. This thing was an incredible asset and companion! I never made one wrong turn! It even suggested alternate routes to avoid traffic, and save time! Bravo!

Large screen is very easy to see. This newer model also has a newer feature to when adding a new location, adding to end of trip, adding as next stop, etc. My prior unit did not have that option. Definitely easier to use than my prior Garmins.

The big screen is great. Love the fact that you can use the voice command while driving and it is truly hands free. So many features and easy to use.
