Customer Ratings & Reviews

NH's hands-free law went into effect and I needed not only a way to flawlessly navigate to show homes, but a way to take/make phone calls while on the road when driving my older vehicle. This unit is easy to use and has a great size screen with fantastic clarity; the best part is online access to updates and little things to tweak and personalize your GPS.

This is my second Garmin. The first one died after a number of years. The new one is big enough to view without taking my eyes off the road. It also gives street names and tells you to get in the correct lane before a turn. It has bluetooth capability but I have not tried that yet.

We purchased this GPS after having our old Garmin for about 4-5 years prior and it started acting up. We did some research and saw this at our local Best Buy and noticed it had a nice touch screen and great size compared to our old one. Since purchasing it, I really enjoy the bigger screen and fast response and recalculating time. The touch screen is much more sensitive than previous version that used capacitive screens. My only small complaints is that since it is a shiny screen, glare can be an issue if angled in certain ways and it does get dusty and dirty with fingerprints pretty quickly and easily. Also the microphone for the bluetooth phone setup is very sensitive so it actually picks up the vibrations of my car that the person I am speaking to hears. Not huge faults in my eyes but something to keep in mind if you are searching for a new GPS. Overall I am and have always been pleased with Garmin GPS's and consider them better than some other brands.

This is the best GPS unit I have had and I have owned a number of them. The Voice Command actually works and the big screen is wonderful. Voice directions work well and the software is really sophisticated. ("Turn left in front of the big white building with the clock tower") You also want to get the smartphone app that links the the two. Greatly increased the functionality and the bluetooth speakerphone on this unit is better than the one built into my car. The only issue is that the screen is VERY reflective. In daylight it's like a mirror reflecting your face, shirt or car interior making the screen unviewable. Also a fingerprint magnet making it even worse. Fortunately this is easy solved by buying a fingerprint resistant/anti-glare screen protector for a tablet and cutting it to fit the GPS screen. A "big phone" protector should work as well but found the tablet ones were cheaper on sale at Best Buy. I noticed that they don't highlight "anti-glare" on the package as much as they do "no fingerprint" but it's the same thing. WITH the screen protector the unit is perfectly visable in all light. So would only recommend this GPS if you add the screen protector.

We have bought several Garmin GPS' over the years and liked them all. This is by far the best ever. It recognizes our commands exactly as spoken and the given directions are spot on. Bluetooth works well and Points of Interest are very accurate. Keep up the good work Garmin.

Excellent GPS. 6" screen is bright, easy to read and touch is responsive. Directions in "Garmin Real Directions" are easy to follow and understand. Voice commands are helpful, but some minor problems in noisy environment. Windshield mount is secure and easy to use.

I love this new Garmin! I had an older one but this one is so superior in every way. The size makes glancing at it stress free - and it doesn't detract or obscure as I was afraid it might. It has so many useful features! Can't go wrong with this one!

It has been awhile having to use a GPS and to program one. This one was just so easy to use. On the road , I never once had to guess which turn off I needed. The screen would split and show you exactly which road I should take. Thank you so much...

This was an upgrade for me after years of having another Garmin that started to freeze up on me. This one is amazing and very easy to use. The one little negative was the amount of time it took to get all the updates as I expected it to come with all the updates but that wasn't the case, perhaps due to so many changes since the package was delivered to the store but it took me hours. The way this GPS works helped me to forget that long time for the updates but I handled it during the time that I was working on my computer and watching TV since it only requires to click on some spots and then it updates.

Garmin GPS never stop amazing me. The new voice command featured is a must have. This feature makes easier to navigate while you are driving.

This GPS is just awesome . It works great my husband just loves the voice activated part ,And the fact that it has lifetime map and traffic updates makes it well worth the money. We used it on a 2500 mile trip and it didn't steer us wrong.

I love this GPS. The larger screen makes it easier to read and the real-life photos are very helpful in making sure I don't take a wrong exit. It also tells me which lanes to stay in. Great product.

This is an additional GPS to my TomTom Start 55M, which can no longer store the entire USA map. The 55M is/was a very good GPS. The Garmin does everything the TomTom did but has some big PLUS features. PROS: (1) My favorite is Voice Command mode, where you simply tell the GPS (talk) what you're looking for or where you want to go. This does away with having to physically touch it while driving. (2) It automatically turns on and off when you start or shut off your car. (3) The six-inch screen although somewhat larger than a five-inch one is not substantially larger when dash mounted. (4) The screen colors and display are brightly lit. CONS: The only "slightly negative" thing is the reflectivity of the screen when driving directly into the sun. MY OVERALL RATING: 9.5 out of 10 -- This is a GOOD GPS...

Much better than previous GPS's. Love the bluetooth feature. Larger screen. I wish you could change the route. Traveling from Tennessee to Florida, the gps routed us thru the panhandle. Best route. but weather was very bad in panhandle and we could not reroute GPS so we had to go to standard maps.

Very easy to setup and use. And to move from car to car. The features are very well done and the Bluetooth phone pairing is great. The suction cup also works well. Highly recommend this over a factory installed unit. If left unplugged, it may take awhile for it to come back on...just be patient.

For my use this is a great GPS. I was looking for a nice large bright screen in a GPS and this one does the trick. I haven't used many of the bells and whistles yet; but the few basic ones I have used work great. It is fast to lock on, and has enough selections in the menu for map data to make it usable for just about anyone. The 6 inch screen is just the right size for my truck, and it makes it much easier for me to see the map layout. So far, so good. I will update my review after a few more weeks of use.

I am very happy with this GPS. The lane assist is a great feature that makes you aware of turns and what lane to be in well in advance. It has a bigger screen which is well worth the extra money. I highly recommend this product.

This is a great GPS that we use when we travel and rent a car. It is large enough and easy to read. It was easy to set up and works great sitting up on the dash. Easy for both my wife and I to see when we are in unfamiliar areas and both need to be alert to where we need to be going.

I have used Garmin's for many years. I notice as I get a bit older (68) the smaller screen is a problem from where I place it on my dash. When my last one was stolen, I decided to upgrade. I love the larger screen, the touch screen buttons to input addresses, etc. are larger and I like both of those. This model is updated on several levels, It shows traffic congestion, including how far the congestion runs more accurately. The split screen showing turn offs and ramps is done differently and is clearer. It also references turns based on what's near by, i.e. "turn left at Walgreens", "at the traffic light, etc." The only issue with that is the pronunciation of some of the names leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, well worth the additional cost.

Excellent system. I thought it was too big at first but now I'm glad I bought the larger screen. The voice command is a very nice feature and actually works quite well.
