 Discontinued, but a great device October 5, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this device in 2007 for $399.00. I am so disappointed that it is already down to $199.00. Anyway, before purchasing this device, taking a trip was very stressful. I would have to memorize the directions and hope I would get there safely. With this device, getting somewhere wasn't a problem UNTIL last weekend.
Last weekend, I tried to input a street and the Garmin refused to let me do it. When I arrived at the address, I saved it and the Garmin refused to reference the address when I tried to go back to the address.
When I called Garmin, they said that they couldn't pull up the address either. This wouldn't be so upsetting if the lady, who was with me, did not have problems finding the address because she was using a Tom-Tom.
At first, when Tom-Tom people raved about their unit--I blew them off. I am starting to hear more and more that the Tom-Tom people don't have the issues that Garmin refuses to correct.
Overall, I love my unit though for IN CITY driving - for cities on the edge or new subdivisions, the unit's reliability is unpredictable.
PROS: Serves as a great car stereo due to the MP3 player
Great directions INSIDE a major city
PORTABLE
Great REDIRECTION!
CONS: Many subdivisions from the last 5 years are missing from the unit
Will tell you something is on the wrong side of the road
Will have you turning into people's houses instead of a street
Great buy if you want a basic GPS and MP3 player!
 Misleading advertising October 4, 2008

Returned the unit because I assumed text-to-speech meant the street names would be spoken. I was wrong or the term is misleading. Also, the window attachment did not stay in place.
 Great unit October 4, 2008
First, a caveat. This is my first GPS of this type (I have a Garvin hand-held for hiking.) That said, I love this unit. I just completed a 4500 mile three week trip from Kentucky to Colorado and Utah and back, and then from Kentucky to Washington DC and back. The unit worked flawlessly. Very accurate and very convenient. I used the "bean bag" mount which I find very suitable. Unlike some reviews I've read I had no trouble with it sliding on the dash. But then I usually don't take curves at 90 mph.
I was amazed at the accuracy and completeness of the information. The unit works hard to keep you on track. If you leave the route for any reason--even to get gas or a sandwich, it immediately recalculates and provides directions to get you back on track. Its library of data is extensive, accurate and useful. At times I was not sure my Nuvi was giving me good information, but in all 4500 miles it did not fail me once. The turn by turn directions with accurate street names and accompanying printed directions are great
When I ordered it I was concerned that the screen size might be too small. I did not find that a problem at all, and very much like the smaller size because I can just clip it off the mount and slip it in my pocket when I leave the car. The screen is big enough and "Miss Nuvi's" voice is pleasant and clear.
One message I have for Garvin, though. The software was obviously written by a golf fanatic. At one point in the middle of Kansas the screen showed four golf courses within ten miles. There was seldom a time when at least one golf course was not on the screen. But they do not show rest stops or medical facilities. Now I like to play a round of golf occasionally, but when I'm driving down the Interstate I typically need rest areas with a whole lot more urgency than I need golf courses. I see no need to have golf courses scrolling down the screen almost constantly at the expense of more practical and universaly sought sites. Rest areas and medical facilities are not listed in the "places" library either, but golf courses are. I find that strange and annoying. Surely in Nuvi's six million attractions library there's room for something as universally appreciated as rest areas.
But the convenience and accuracy of the Nuvi outweighs the inconveniences of too many golf courses and not enough pit stops. I highly recommend it. It will get you there.
 Great Product - Used it for over an year October 2, 2008
I have it for over an year now and its an absolutly wonderful product. Super sleek and easy to take away from one car to another. excellent reception, can even catch signal in Manhatten. On the down side, though finding location from address is most accurate, the POI database not. Although i do not use POI much, but whenever i tried to use it never took me to the right place.
