 The best directions EVER!!! February 17, 2006
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
I am the worst one with directions. I always panic if I have to drive outside my comfort area and if in the past I had to drive I would have either not gone or begged my husband to take me. After starting my own business, Kelley Choice Mineral Cosmetics, I needed to travel on a regular basis. I loved my other GPS device from garmin and use it all the time in my other travels so I thought this would be perfect. I tested it in travels where I knew how to get there to get used to how it worked. Then came the day I really needed it. I had to travel 3 hours one way for an appointment. I went to yahoo maps and printed the directions. The directions said it would take 3 hours to get there. Oh, boy!!! Well this is why I bought the GPS, right? So printed directions in hand, cell phone charged and GPS set to the address. The printed directions said to get on I-89. I knew how to get there. But as I get to I-89 the GPS said to go straight and not to get on I-89. Oh noooo. I went with the GPS. No printed directions now!! What the heck, I figured, I'm on an adventure. The GPS also said the trip was only going to take me 2.5 hours and not 3. This machine was great.
It tells you..
-how far till the next turn.
-what route you are currently on.
-estimated time of arrival.
-when you are close to you next turn it tells you on the bottom of the screen, "take a right on elm street", stay left ect
-It has a big white arrow showing you the way to go. As you are going in the direction of the arrow the arrow gets bigger and you can see that you are on the right track.
-and this is the best!! If you don't take the right turn it shows you how to get back on track. HOW GREAT IS THAT!!!
During my 2.5 hour trip I got in the wrong lane once. I knew I did. So I just turned around and found the way. 30 second delay. On the way home I took the wrong way and just kept going as I was in area close to home and knew where I was. The GPS said, "recalculating" and then changed the directions and told me how to get back on track. Oh Ya! and once I had to find gas. I hit the gas button and it told me how to find the gas station and get back onto the highway.
Okay, lets recap.. I am phobic about traveling, always get lost, get all panichy and either end up crying or yelling in the car. This machine got me there and back with no problems!! So my question to you is, why are you still reading this and not buying one!!!

performed great February 11, 2006

We were leaving for a trip when the truck arrived with the unit. We put the box in the car and drove out of the driveway. While travelling from Rhode Island to New Hampshire, we turned the unit on and used the suction cup to attach the unit to the window. It took about 15 seconds to locate our position. We didn't read the directions but found the touch screen is very intuitive as we punched in our destination. It worked great and we followed the verbal prompts right to the front door of our destination four hours later. We then traveled to Maine with similar success. The suction mount works fine and presented no problems. The screen is fairly small but OK. It was extremely accurate and even identified a dirt road in a remote campground. We had it on for a total of 500 miles and we were very pleased with it's performance.
How did I get by without one... February 7, 2006

You've probably read how the guidance isn't perfect and I'm not going to tell you otherwise. But any time I've found myself getting misled I just use the map and regular map reading skills to start moving in the right direction. The device will recalculate and you're on your way. With the clear, concise voice directions you can still concentrate on avoiding other cars. So what if I miss a junction/turning - I just keep following the purple line!
And yes - when you take it on the plane it can be a little slow to get it's bearings. But the 15 minute ride in the rental car shuttle is usually enough for it to figure out where it is. Slap it on the windshield and you're ready to go when the barrier goes up.
Finally, the interface is just how it should be - the button logic is clear and operation is exactly as you would expect.
No complaints apart from the occasional minor routing error. When I used map print outs there were many more errors and a lot more stress...

The device is great - just do not buy anything from AMAZON (mybe books) because they do not stand behind the warenty. They tell you "Items ordered via Amazon Marketplace are not directly fulfilled by Amazon.com. For that reason, your merchant, servicecontractsbynew@newcorp.com, must be the one to handle any authorized return of this order" and you are stuck.
Really Good January 30, 2006

I received my Garmin GPS, read the simple directions, and then proceeded to use it. So far, it's kept me on the right roads...
I am completely satisfied with this fine piece of electronics
