It's amazing improvements in GPS Tracker on my street - it is cheaper, much better with all the details at street level for all United States and Canada, and quickest way to gain the position.

I bought this unit over 3 months back. Each package was great and has many features. The big screen is very good and makes it easy to navigate. The unit has a music player and SD card slot where I put my 4GB SD card and comes with FM transmitter so you can listen to music, warnings and navigation instructions through the speakers of the car with 'Speaker-bed unit in the rear.

The unit has a video port, where I connected with a back-up camera using the cable Garmin A / V and can be connected to DVD player. The unit also has information about POIs, you can simply add items of radar or other things to get the sound and screen alerts 500 or 1 km before arriving at that position. I give it 4 stars, the accuracy of GPS because the GPS is not that you missed detection and easily when you are not having a clear vision for the sky. Furthermore, 3 stars for portability, this unit has no internal battery.

Overall 4 star Unit.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee has two sockets outlets (self): One is constant, while the other is only when the engine is running. This means that this GPS to connect the control by the ignition, the GPS is activated automatically when the machine starts and stops automatically when the car stops. This is my "normal" driving through the city "mode. Switches, without breath, without a dialogue" useless "for the GPS unit. Just sit back and enjoy.

For a long time over-the-road travel, this GPS connects to the one that is constantly: it preserves the data for food and fuel stops and ensures continuous data in the total trip time, driving time , stopped time, moving average speed, average overall speed, etc. At the destination, I transfer it to take control of power to drive the site. Personally, this is a well-designed system: to give some credit to Garmin to focus on what matters and avoiding Gizmo-itis and Bell-and-Whistle disease.

The software on the GPS seems to be just as beautiful, practical, easy to use software, intuitive in our two Garmin Nuvi 750's. We do not need Bluetooth (BlueAnt Supertooth use in all vehicles), so they do not interfere with the CD / Radio / etc We also do not use for back-up camera action. Nice idea, though, but not for us. In short, big, cheap, beautiful, economical, precise, economical, easy to use, cheaper and more convenient compared to units with internal batteries (you have to interact with it on and off). And 'perfect GPS as a dedicated vehicle. I have already said that I think that prices below $ 300 is cheap for this big screen, especially when joined with the other virtues of the Garmin Nuvi?

My only complaint is that Garmin units in all, the English lady (who has a decent voice mellow) interprets "drive" expressways "Doctor," as in "Turn left on Maple Dr." instead of "Turn left on Maple Drive"! What a fool, Garmin?

We love our Germin 5000. Has a large screen that can be easily read from the database driver. I bought a generic cigarette lighter AC adapter so I can make a home visit program.

I only nüvi 5000 a couple of months ago and have used it in my home town and a recent vacation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin. Do not miss a beat. Addresses found on rural roads and always pointed me at the gas station or grocery store. I have another nuvi that I owned for a couple of years and gave one to my husband. Recently used to great success in all Hawaii Oahu. I point this out because Hawaii has addresses that are listed with a hyphen (11-111) and many other GPS systems do not allow you to enter an address in this way. I tried the device and not as the user's system. I tried to Pioneer and has nothing good to say about them. I'ma Garmin fair and recommends them to people all the time.

The addresses are easy to insert. The shops and addresses of friends are easy to add to your list of favorites. Tours are well spoken and clear. I rarely "dissent" as the nüvi. Know the shortcuts in your home area better. Only reason I can not give this model a 5 stars is because it can not be used on a battery. Other Nuvi me is different and you can use it in pedestrian mode. The 5000 must be connected for use.

With all the GPS, I can create an online account that allows you to pre-select the option to change direction and add break points along its path. In fact, Nuvi is easy to use and very precise. Oh, and best of all, this is a big screen! Great for a minivan, SUV, and reach people.
