Samuel Henson ( Washington D.C. ) Buy in mid-December and during a recent trip to find detailed information ceased to be displayed. Moreover, we can not continue to get directions to an address map info is gone. When you go to the information screen and look at the detailed map is loaded, nothing is displayed. Garmin support has not responded, after waiting for 2 days. As others have reported, the traffic information does not appear to be accurate as we have traffic jams, which have not been displayed and taken immediately when he showed a great delay. Considering the premium for this drive, I would not say it's worth. Garmin wait until The Kinks are worked.

The Computer Genius ( Tamarac Flor i duh ) Well, I brought this GPS and I like it. As I said in another review, one can not expect perfection in any one of these units. Remember, America sold to China. But I think this is a nice upgrade to the Nuvi older than I was at 350, 660, 755T, 765T, and now 1690. I also had a Tom Tom 740 which went live, and I was Magellan who was in the trash. So I know what I'm talking about the nüvi.

R. L. Walker ( Canandaigua, NY USA ) We have always had a factory installed GPS in our cars, so this is our first experience with a portable GPS. We bought a new car without one now much less expensive than buying a portable GPS. We are very pleased with our purchase. We use it to travel from New York State in Florida. We plan for our long journey that took us to Florida in one piece. One thing I did not like is that they give us the opportunity to choose the path that would take. We do not want to travel on I-95, if possible, and all the possibilities that GPS, tried to have us on I-95! We love the button on the time we knew that time was at home and that time was in Florida too.
We like the fuel and fuel prices also resources. When he wanted to eat, it was so easy to find a restaurant and even easier to get there! It 'was the same with the motel. After our arrival in Florida, we have used the appeal of the film and found it very precise - not only for us to find the theaters, but the timing of the films are very accurate. How do they do? I connected the bluetooth yet - are waiting for the heat here in Florida! I read many reviews where people do not like the ads that appear from time to time. They are not very large and can easily be ignored. They are there only for a second and then disappear. I do not find them a problem. All-in-all, it was a good buy and worth the money you paid.

Samantha Behen ( Bloomington, Indiana ) My boyfriend and I bought this GPS for our Christmas gift and have used it a couple of times already and we love it! It 'easy to see when you're on the dashboard, because it has a big screen, but not great. We LOVE Google search that comes from it but we are sad that we pay for it after a year. We like the fact that you can find all the gas stations where you travel, it is very practical! Overall we love this GPS and we hope to use more often!
