 great buy July 12, 2008
My husband uses it for work everyday and finds it very reliable (except for brand new developments of course). He got it for Father's Day and loves it!
 Beware of Garmin Software & Update Policy July 9, 2008
I bought a Garmin GPS about one and a half years ago. The hardware is fine, the screen bright, the recorded voice clear. But on a trip across Virginia, we turned onto a Virginia freeway that cut a corner between I64 and I95 south. We knew this freeway was new, but it had been opened for at least two years. We were therefore surprised when the Garmin immediately insisted that we execute a U-turn (and continued to do so as we successfully completed this twenty mile long short cut). The Garmin database was clearly years out of date. But when I went to their website I found that to update the maps on my unit (barely over a year old), they wanted $70 dollars. Then, more recently, we took a trip from Charlottesville VA to Bethesda MD. Google maps and I agreed that the shortest route was via state route 29 (a fast four lane expressway) for a total distance of 117 miles. But the Garmin was adamant that we stay on Interstates all the way (I64 to I95) for a route that Google says totals 177 miles. That is, the Garmin wanted us to travel an additional 60 miles or add about an hour to an otherwise 2 hour trip. My Conclusion: Garmin's hardware is fine, but their road database appears to be grossly behind the times (and expensive to update), and their route selection algorithm tied to Interstates even when their use makes no sense. I would thus not buy another Garmin product and instead carefully read the reviews of competing brands to see if they do better on these points.
Amazing Piece of Equipment July 9, 2008
I am extremely happy with this product, it is a wonderful piece of equipment. I use it most days as it takes me the shortest route. It is truly amazing. It's very practical because it is small and easy to handle and also mounts very easily on my dash. Very easy to set up and directions are great. I would highly recommend it.
 good in this price-range July 8, 2008
I used to use TomTom before, and this is my first time in Garmin. First thing I noticed was I can't find the next direction from the screen. Other than this, this GPS is good to me.
Garmin is Charmin' July 8, 2008
This item offers pretty basic but quite serviceable navigation. No frills, easy to follow instructions with voice commands to alert you to your next turn along the route. I like that you can take the unit with you when you travel. This is when I need a GPS unit - more than when I'm at home and know where I'm headed. Small, compact easy to transport and use while on the road. One drawback - You are not able to toggle off the area displayed to see what is around where you are traveling. For the cost it does just fine!
