I owned a Magellan 760 and after two years it refused to power up. I called Magellan and encounted some truly horrendous tech support. I was eventually told that most probably the problem was with the cradle so I ordered a new one. After waiting two weeks, I decided to cancel the order and purchase a Garmin 360. Of course, although I was assured that the order was cancelled, it wasn't and I received the cradle so now I have two GPS units! Anyway, back to my Garmin. It is very small. It took a bit of getting used to on my part because I was used to a larger screen. If small screens are not for you, you might consider the 600 series. However, it is nice to have a unit that is so portable. You can easily slip it into a pocked and take it on vacation. We are going to Hawaii in a few months and I'll be taking my Garmin with me. It picks up a satellite signal quickly and I really appreciate its detailed voice prompts. You don't have to spend time looking at the screen to figure out when you are going to be making a turn. You just need to listen to the voice prompts. However, the Garmin, like most GPS systems, is far from perfect. The suction mount is worthless. It keeps falling off my windshild and I have ordered a standing holder for the base of my dashboard. Had to purchase this for my Magellan as well as I had the same problem with the GPS falling down. Also, like so many GPS systems, it does not always give the best route. By that I mean that it will give a route that no local would dream of taking. Today, I was traveling into Manhattan and entered an address for NY, NY. It routed me to the right address, wrong boro - ended up in Brooklyn, NY! I actually had to enter Manhattan as the city in order to get to my destination. Also, the Garmin got very confused in Manhattn. This is not limited to Garmin - my Magellan experienced the same problem. I suppose the skyscrapers somehow impede the satellite signal????? At one point my Garmin wanted me to take the bridge back to Brooklyn when my final destination was Manhattan and I was in Manhattan! Kept recalculating the route but eventually (I ignored the instructions to get on the Brooklyn Bridge) it did get me to my destination. All in all, the Garmin works very nicely in most areas. The voice prompt is clear, the screen is easy to read and it is super easy to enter your destination. The touch screen is very sensitive and you really don't even need to read the manual to figure out how to use the unit - it really is that easy. If you are making several stops along the way, you can enter them all at once although I have yet to use this feature. I have not used the Bluetooth yet but my son has and says it works well.
UPDATE: I purchased a mount for the dashboard - good investment Also, I am now using the bluetooth feature. I was impressed, it worked very well. Of course, anyone in the car can hear the conversation so you need to warn the individual on the other line that they are on a speakerphone.

I have used this product for 4 months in AZ, CA, OH, FL, IL, and AL. It has been great. I no longer worry about getting lost on business trips. I use it around town to get around road construction. I have also used the MP3 player for audio books. I highly recommend this product. If you live in a city with traffic service you can add that to this GPS with an optional antenna. The hands free bluetooth phone is also handy.
 Shipping was via DHL and it stunk December 4, 2007

Great product but next day shipping with DHL took over a week to get. So don't bother to pay extra for quick shipping because it doesn't work!!
