I have had this unit for 2 months. I have used it on 2 trrips now and it has gotten me where I needed to be. On one trip, my mother left town 45 minutes ahead of us. We arrived at the same time as her and stopped several times along the way. I should also note that we were traveling 600 miles and my mother went the same route she has used for 40 yrs. She will be changing her route next time.

Overall a good product. Was really looking forward to the North America and Europe version, as travel to these areas has increased. I was disappointed to find out, this unit does not work in Costa Rica, which is part of North America as a continent. I'll find out next week if it works in Mexico. We were in Italy, Switzerland and France for 2 weeks. Again, for the most part it was able to get us to a general area. When an address in inserted, there are multiple locations you can choose. Hopefully you select the right one. Also, it does not do very well when you have to deviate your route based on construction. Lastly, it would be nice if the keyboard was similar to the keyboards we use for our PC's vs. the letters in sequencal order.

this is my second nuvi!!! my first is the 360 and i have no complaints about it, i purchased the 370 because i travel in europe often..... this model is great because it fits in your pocket easily and can be carried easily when in walking mode. the screen is plenty big enough, if you mount this to the windshield you dont wanna go much bigger because itll make a huge blind spot this model is perfect in every way. i highly recommend this model
A "mature" GPS product -- with some of the problems solved May 4, 2008

Succinctly: it's got a great screen, bright and adjusts for day vs. night. You can change even the accent in which it speaks to you. It will get your there 98% of the time. (as time goes on, and road construction continues, the map gets progressively out of date, but you can buy an update yearly if you desire.) I buy it every other year.
Now this is not my first GPS. We own two cars with them built in, a Toyota Sierra van 2004 and a Lexus Hybrid 2006. The GPS systems are similar but the Lexus is a bit updated from the Sierra. We've also rented cars with GPS systems either internal or external.
Each will give you "mostly" the correct directions with an occasional odd error or weird routing. Sometimes because a very odd route is marginally shorter, it will send you around the mulberry bush to get somewhere you could get to straightaway. It does NOT know dangerous or sketchy neighborhoods. It is unaware of traffic unless you activate the traffic service (which after an initial period, you must pay for on a subscription basis). Its estimates of the ETA are based on your current speed or your average speed but are rarely accurate. This is true of all the GPS units we've tried and/or owned.
All of that said, this unit is small, light, portable, easy to program and has many extra features (most of which I find unimportant or redundant. I do NOT need a GPS to also be my iPod. I like those functions separate.
I have found this to be an extremely easy, reliable and usable unit. My experience with Garmin's tech support with a previous nuvi 360 unit was incredibly wonderful. They are simply great to work with and usually solve the problem forthwith. The best tech support still available on any product I own. This alone is worth the price of admission.
