 Excellent product October 11, 2007

Tremendous so far - best GPS I have had, although my others were from prior generations.
You get great value, accuracy, ease of use, impressive options. One caveat: If you shut it off, andf then turn it on anew far from your location when it is activated again, it can be a little inconvieniently slow to find position again. In fact, it at first thinks you are in the old locale.
But, you really can't go wrong with iot. A- product.
great product for non-techy people October 9, 2007

My husband bought me this Nav system because we are stationed in Germany and he is deployed for 15 months! I am seriously challenged when it comes to tech gear...but this system is SO EASY to use. We tried it out right out of the box...comes preloaded with tons of fun and practical locations. I love that we can use it in a pedestrian mode so even if we visit a big city, we can save our car's location and spend the day on subways and trains and still make it back to our car. It uses addresses or coordinates and is very easy to use. I love that it reroutes itself if you miss a turn (very handy for Europe since road directions are sometimes a challange). No matter how lost I get myself (which I shouldn't with this!!) I can just ask it to take me home and home we go! Also, every place of interest we visit we can save to the system (without having to know the address, just "save current location")and I don't have to worry about remembering addresses again, I can just ask it to go "such and such" next time we want to visit and it's there, no problem. There is no "programming" to worry about. It just brings up your list of locations to choose from (or type the address or coordinates). Also, it will let you ask for points of interest in other cities so you can browse those and preplan a trip if you like. It has found fun stuff we weren't aware of. Very handy, and gives much needed peace of mind for me and the kids (he also purchased a roadside assistance program so I wouldn't be afraid to actually get out and use this while he's away!). Really LOVE this little gadget and don't know how we ever managed without it!
Great performing Nav system October 8, 2007

To those of you who may never have used a GPS navigation system, these things can be great stress reducers. I previously owned the Garmin C330 which I was happy with. The one problem routinely encountered with the 330 though was that the screen was quite difficult to see in bright light. The Nuvi screen is very easy to see in comparison. The maps included with my Nuvi were very up to date. The C330 sometimes would get lost due to new roads or re-routing of roads. The Nuvi hasn't got me lost yet.
The text to speech is a gimmick in my opinion, don't let that sell you. The mounting system is a suction cup system which works very well. The whole thing can be installed in a minute of so. It takes a couple of minutes for the maps to load and for the unit to find the satellites.
The detour function is a bit flawed; you can ask for a detour, and it will find one for you, but if you don't want to take the suggested detour, it will usually suggest the original route (kind of dumb). Garmin should find a way to detour a certain highway, or at least have more than one detour available.
The ability to use "via route" is very limited with this unit. You can input your final destination and one waypoint in between; that's it. This is a very simple system that is very easy to learn, so there isn't much in the way of functions that are likely to confuse newbies.
Watch the internet for good deals on these Nav units. The prices seem to go up and down quite a bit. For some reason, prices seem higher now (Oct. 2007) than they were six months ago.
This is a very worthwhile piece of equipment if you find car navigation stressful.
Highly recommended!
Delivery problems October 8, 2007

The problem is Amazon phone operators. I got a call the day before the delivery of a Garmin Nuvi 370 GPS from Amazon stating the delivery would be the next day between 8 AM and 5:30 PM, and that I was the only one that could sign for the unit. UPS attempted to deliver the Garmin at 12:30 PM while I was away at a lunch meeting. I called Amazon in an attempt to find out if I could sign the UPS delivery attempt, and leave it attached to my front door, or perhaps someone else at my home could sign for it. The Lady at Amazon told me the only way I could get delivery was to take off from work and wait for the 2nd attempt at delivery which was scheduled for the next day, or make a long trip to the UPS delivery center and pick it up. I said I could not do that. At that point Amazon said they would cancel the delivery, which they did. The bored lady at Amazon said they would refund my money (I have not received it yet, but I am sure I will get the refund from them). I tried to email Amazon to see if there was some other way to get the delivery, but they never replied to my email. I BOUGHT THE UNIT FROM ANOTHER DEALER. The Garmin is great, it is just a problem with Amazon's policy of making you wait at home for delivery all day. If you save anything at Amazon, it is quickly lost by time wasted waiting for the delivery.
