Customer Rating:

Summary: Awesome Product
Comment: Throw away the map and tell the wife to watch the
scenery! If you get lost with one of these stay home! Easy to use and does not distract you from driving.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Buy with confidence
Comment: This thing is great, while it's not perfect it works amazingly well, has a great database of hotels, gas, restuarants, shopping, tourist sites of interest, hospitals, police stations etc. even providing phone numbers, it also had features not listed in garmins own description as apparently they added the same software upgrades as higher models, for instance it has the selectible keyboard type (ABC or QWERTY) and the "where am I" features which are not listed in it's description, on the odd day (only once in a month of use) it may take several minutes to aquire satellites as some have complained, but seems to find them faster if one can wait a minute or two (standing still) until it locks on instead of while moving which seems to take longer, once locked I have never lost connection, I use it daily and have to find the addresses of clients, the routes are pretty good but in the local streets dont always offer the best option, I sometimes use "fastest route" setting to get close then switch to "shortest route" in the side streets if the route offered is not the best, the detour function is great and has already saved my butt from an huge accident caused traffic jam in an area where I didn't know the streets at all, buy all means buy a mini usb cord (wal mart 7 bucks if you dont buy the garmin branded one) and get the free software upgrade from garmins web site, this cord will also charge the battery in the house, don't believe the naysayers, I am picky and like to buy good quality toys, this is a solid unit and you can buy with confidence, makes driving fun!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great GPS
Comment: Excellent unit that give very good directions. They may differ slightly from one you may take, but it's close and it will get you there
