Moefugger Acquires satellites quickly and works right through the roof. I did not mount on the windshield. I just keep him on the bench next to me, so it has not been announced for thieves. The large display is great and the voice is loud and clear. As a repairer, basically, I do not know where I'm going to get so I usually only the map, entering a destination allows you to keep track of where I am, so you can browse and take shortcuts that I never knew were there.

T. Morton ( WV USA ) I bought this for my husband for Christmas. In the past, had borrowed a Garmin GPS model precedent of a family member. So glad we got here. Great features. Only complaint is the location of the power cord from the power point in units, which makes use of the Dash pad without crimping the cable.

Rich ( Seattle, WA ) I am glad GPS is now becoming mainstream, since the prices are rapidly dropping. I am going to compare this newer Garmin 1300 with my old Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator from last year. Overall the two Garmins are pretty much the same in term of software interface, the only thing that this has is a public transportation, which the 255w model didn't have. The exterior is nicely improved. You can tell that the 1300 has a slimmer profile and feels more compact and a sturdy feel. The 255w was mostly plastic; this model has a lot of rubber on the back.
The model is more of a physical external update to the older models. I am used to Garmin software interface and direction that I didn't see much different. The city/public transportation mode, which you have to download, is a nice bonus if I ever use public transportation. This basic model that I got a nice price at Office Depot (lower then Amazon too) for a gift so I am not complaining.

M. Warren I found this unit very easy and fun, when I used my friends so I got one for my husband, who is not very adept at this type of product. He loves, and not to frustrate him.
