 Better than wildest expectations March 30, 2007

Took the garmin to seattle as soon as we got it. Used it to find restaurants, malls, and went home shopping and it found every address. Got us effortlessly around traffic jam for a demonstration and quickly and effectively re-routed us when I missed a turn. Never lost gps connectivity anywhere in the car, tall buildings, trees, even inside the hotel room near the windows. Simple to use. Speaking commands is a huge benefit so I could keep eyes on the road. At 60 I am becoming hearing "challenged" but the speakers provided loud audible commands. A few humorous errors such as calling north Dr north "doctor" instead of north drive. I can live with that. Fun to use. Worth every dollar. Would like more option for mounting. On our Maximim it was in the way on the winshield or too far away to reach. Adhesive mount looks a little tacky on the dash of a Maximum. Bean bag slides arounds. Portability is nice since we use it in both of our vehicles. The Maximum has blue tooth but I use the bluetooth on the garmin in my vehicle and it works great. Could go on but you get the point. Best and most useful piece of electronics I have purchased since my first computer.
Great service and product March 27, 2007

The unit started working as soon as I took it out of the box, the bluetooth feature works great, and the guidance is excellent. I am very happy to have bought this product. Great Amazon.com service and delivery on time, as always .

I finally found the units that we dont fight about while driving as improvements have been met. Very easy to program and so far have met all requirements we desire. StreetPilotIII,2610,2720,and Garmin7200, I dont need to be upset when on vacation nor driving in unknown areas. The friction mount was what I needed as I dont want to stick stickers on the dashboard. The CHP states they didnt know about any law about sticking suction cups on windshields. If you have a long windshield and your belted in with seat belts its a long reach to program and the friction bag is the answer for me. The 7200 unit is excellent but too big as it was hitting my windshield with the friction mount.

Very easy to set up and use for the beginner. This is our first GPS unit and have found it to be 90% reliable. It has made some errors, but allows you to disregard its directions, make the turn that you want and then recalculates automatically based on your new turn and gives proper directions. One example was a trip to NYC from new jersey. The unit wanted me to use the GW Bridge, but I wanted to use the Lincoln Tunnel. I started out " my way" and within a few minutes, the unit recalculated and guided me to the Lincoln tunnel and final destination in NYC. No lost signal in NYC ( I later checked and found that the GWBridge way was a few miles less than the Tunnel and I assume that is why it picked the bridge.
Pros: Easy setup, automatic free downloads via the web( updates and software correction)
Easy to switch between autos ( we have three)
Major plus: Gives verbal street names, not just "turn right" Turn Left" instructions.
Cons: Dont like the windshield connection, it holds but is annoying and may be illegal. PurchasedGarmin 010-10747-02 Dash Mount for the StreetPilot C510/C550 for all three cars and was able to install on front of dash. Coffee cup holder mounts and air conditioner mounts are available for this unit but not tried by me.
