 Old Software November 17, 2008
I travel extensively and thought this would be a good purchase. When the unit was received it would display a message stating that I should update the maps. Why is Amazon shipping GPS units with outdated maps? The essence of a GPS is how accurate the roads are. I am very disappointed.
 My first GPS November 17, 2008
I use GPS oftenly, mostly from rental car - from the early phone type with operator assist, the Megellan unit comes with most Hertz, and Garmin GPS from Alamo/National. I find Garmin GPS is the most user friendly GPS. I brought the unit I purchase to Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon. And now I am back in Malaysia and I travel to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. I also got a Australia map for my 2009/5 trip to Melbourne -> Gold Coast.
What I like:
1. Touch Screen
2. Abundance of Maps
3. Easy to use - I never read the manual
What I don't like:
1. No qwerty keyboard like input
2. Locating the satellite can take up to 5-10 minutes half of the time.
 Good GPS November 16, 2008
Plus: I had a garmin C330 which got stolen and hence decided to buy a GPS. This is exactly a Garmin C330 packaged in a more compact and sleek case. I was happy with the C330, hence am happy with this also.
Minus: The device takes a lil longer than I would like to startup and load maps - which is not a big deal, its a one time thing.
My old c330 used to take a really long time to "acquire satellites", and this one seems to have exactly the same problem. It takes a nice 10 to 15 minutes to "acquire" satellites (in open space) - its might be something to do with some area affinity of the gps because in some places it acquires really fast.
Overall I think its a good device worth the money.
Garmin nuvi November 5, 2008
I have a new gadget that has turned into a tool. I was running late because of traffic. I called the friends I was to meet and met them at the church. I had never been to the place before, punched in the name of the church, and was there with out a hitch. At that point the money I spent on the gadget was well worth it. I have purchased a second for my daughter. I think this is a great product.
Love my Nuvi November 2, 2008
I purchased this model in silver for myself a few months back. I found it to be invaluable and dont know how I lived without it. My daughter expressed an interest in having one so I purchased one for her birthday in the pink color. She loves it, especially the pink color. Very quick delivery with this seller.
