We have used the Garmin for years and loved it. When it finally stopped working we resorted to using our cell phones. But there were placed the phone quit...so....we went back to our old friend, the Garmin, and love every time we go anywhere. Its dependability and convenience is great!

I am not tech savvy but this was easy to set up and use. Direction were much clearer and precise than my last GPS. My first use of it was a 12 hour drive across 4 states and never was I directed wrong

I shopped around for the Garmin and Walmart prices were comparable to Best Buy, Exchange, and other stores.

WOULD RECOMMEND BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

Works well most of the time but every now and then it gives me wrong directions even after I update and reset GPS. Most of the time it does well but I'd be afraid to use it out of state because it does navigate you in the wrong direction sometimes.

Dissatisfied

This unit does not work very well. The screen is not clear and it won’t allow any changes. This unit will not follow the most direct route, rather it chooses to go out of the way. It always take the longest route. I am very dissatisfied with this unit.

It insists on trying to take you on routes that you don’t want to go. I took it to the U.K. with U.K. maps loaded and it kept trying to says the fastest way was going through Landon’s congested charge zone instead of taking the ring Motorway around London.
