    A great help in city traffic

    A great help in city traffic! Very nice to have in during commute times. It does keep track of new traffic information, but doesn't always update the route as quickly as I would like. It does much better as calculating actual travel times, but still can't quite account for all of the delays caused by traffic signals. On a typical commute, it takes about 10-15 minutes longer than the GPS calculcates. With my old, non-traffic GPS, it would take about 25-30 minutes longer.

    This is my third Garmin GPS. The previous 2 had similar operating systems and I was able to use them with little or no problems. This Garmin has been more difficut for me to use without reference to help. I does get me where I am going. The first destination, it took the long way around and took twice the time it should have. I think I have corrected that setting only time will tell

    Use this for a trip to Massachusetts. Worked very well. The display is bright and can be brighter, the volume level is great. And I've finally found a GPS that alerts you to make a turn before you pass it by....WIN!! Also included the traffic map/updates for lifetime as well as lifetime map updates. Another WIN!! Did not disappoint in any way shape or form.

    New and improved Garmin GPS

    My old Garmin began blowing fuses after working reliability for several years. The new Garmin has a bigger screen, a "business locator" feature, and automatically warns of traffic congestion with an estimate of the additional travel time (wasn't sure how this feature worked). I am looking forward to the lifetime maps feature since my old Garmin had me driving in an unknown field when travelling a newer road. Too early to judge durability and long-term value.

    I spend the best part of my 10 hour days driving from one address to another and I enjoy being able to put in the new address and get verbal guidance to where I'm going so I can keep my eyes on the road. It is also nice when I can't see the address on the houses and I'm informed that the house is right on my left or my right. It helps save me time.

    Three Garmins in two years....

    I love using my Garmin, and appreciate their latest updates. It makes inputting addresses easier every time, and usually gets me to where I want to go. I like the screen view of the highways/intersections, but it does not always tell me turns soon enough so that I can get into the correct lanes. I also like that it now comes with Lifetime Map upgrades. Things which are a problem.....it still is not able to find my house even though I have lived here for over 5 years. I have had to replace my Garmin three times within a two year time period because two of the Garmins quit working. One Garmin could never find a satellite and the last one could never maintain power without a cord. It eventually quit turning on after about 6 months.

    I got this for my sister after she got her first car. Set-up was easy. What i like most is how simple and easy it is to use the device. Very user friendly. The maps are also reliably accurate. Additional features i love include speed limit indicator and picture snapshots on freeway exits which is very helpful when choosing which lanes to follow.

    Daughter did the installation part. After that we were good to go. Took it on a road trip from Ohio to CA. Did not have a real route planned, just places we wanted to see. It was easy and great. Used AAA books for hotels, but punched in their addresses to find the hotels. Felt like we had a talking "TripTick" from the old AAA days.

    This was a gift for my technically challenged relative, who will remain nameless. In minutes with very little instruction she was able to program her home, work and my address into the device. She was also able to look up the addresses of the locations she was going to visit in Colorado. Though I cannot comment fully on its operation, if this out of the box experience was any indication, this will be a dream for her.

    1st trip over 7000 miles in the southwest, never got me lost, great through the big mega cities with a lot of construction issues without any problems. I was very happy with it very easy to use, I let it route me motel to motel so got on some great roads.

    I purchased this unit to upgrade from an older navi unit. It was a great price and is really easy to use. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. I selected this model for the lifetime map and traffic updates. I love that feature! No more paying for map upgrades. My only complaint is that the screen doesn't seem as bright as other modern electronics. It isn't an LCD type screen.

    Bought this to replace 8 yr old unit. really like the split screen that shows exit more clearly than old unit. I use this every day as a delivery drive. Only wish the software was tied into Google. Some time I have to use Google maps to get better address accuracy. Easy to setup and download for updates through computer.

    This is the third Garmin we have bought- we love them. They are easier to use than the navigation systems in our vehicles and give us more information. The trip features are really helpful and everytime we buy one they have upgraded the features and content. Lifetime map upgrades are wonderful and easy to do
