 Garmin Nuvi 650 July 6, 2008
This GPS fit all of our needs "Almost" perfectly on our recent trip to Canada and Maine. At one point in Canada, instad of directing us to a shopping market, we ended up in front of 4 garbage cans in a depressed area. So, we named the unit "Mata", short for Mata Hari as it had betrayed us. This was really the only time though, and we grew more and more dependent upon it and it's ability to locate all kinds of information for us such as available lodging, fuel etc. It didn't contain ALL lodging possibilities but enough to give us a good idea as to whether or not we would be able to stay someplace. We enabled the chime to sound when a turn was upon us and we enjoyed having "Mata" mention street names and distances. I would definitely recommend this unit.
 Great navigation perfomance: skimpy accessories July 5, 2008
Incredibly accurate navigation; user interface is mostly intuitive and and user-friendly. Excellent, bright display (that automatically dims and changes contrast at dusk/dawn). Used at length from the mid-Atlantic to Ottawa, and it has rarely suggested a wrong turn (and recalculates and recovers nicely when it does).
Minor interface issues:
-There is no map scale indicated (except in the "turn details" view and when browsing the map, such as after you enter an address).
--Although manually entered "favorite" locations will accept phone numbers as part of their data set, you can't do so at the time you enter the name and address information. Instead, you have to repeat your steps to return to favorites, and then enter the phone number.
--When connected to a Vista machine, isues with Vista and current browsers; close the error messages and you should be fine (the blame here almost certainly lies with Vista anyway!).
These are minor annoyances that detract little from the overall usefulness of this device.
You can't go wrong with this unit if you don't need Bluetooth.
Less forgivable:
a carrying case, printed manual and household AC adapter should have been in the box from Garmin (and in these days when GPS units are high theft they should have considered a friction/beanbag mount too...avoids the telltale "high value item was stored here" notification circle on your windshield.
You can't go wrong from a technical point of view, but leave a little room in your budget for the extras you'll probably want.
Nuvi 650: Great GPS July 4, 2008
I have just upgraded from my current Nuvi 350. The 650 is basically the same as my 350, except for that it's a wide screen. Upgrading also allowed me to get the newest MAP update free (2008 map came pre-installed and when registering my 650, I was given the unlock code for the new 2009 map). I didn't have to research (just check out the Garmin site) much to decide on upgrading to this model.
Garmin nuvi 650 is great June 30, 2008
We used it for a 10 day vaction around Arizona. It worked very well. It successfully got us around the state on our 2400 mile treck. We ended up using the english guy voice beause he was the clearest and the most fun to listen to as he tried to pronounce Spanish and Native American names. This is my 2nd garmin product. I've been happy with both.
I'm impressed! June 25, 2008

All I can say is...WOW! Right out of the box this unit worked perfect. The screen is big and bright and the larger keyboard made making changes simple. It has so many features...for the money, you can't beat it. Of course I was lucky enough to get it on sale. As your driving down the road it even shows lakes and ponds that are coming up. Definately one of the best things I have purchased in a long time. Now, I have only had it two months...but so far, wow!
