Joseph Goslawski ( Southington, CT United States ) I bought this GPS for me, because the price was right and my GPS is a distraction to handle while I was driving. My wife would never use a GPS, because he thought were too complicated / difficult to use. After you install the Garmin Nuvi 850 to my wife and I went for a trip set up. I was having some trouble getting the GPS to understand my voice so that my wife said the locations and instructions for speech recognition enabled GPS. He did exactly what he said on the first attempt. Needless to say that this GPS is now my wife and she is happy to use it. PS I bought a Nuvi 855 two weeks later for me!

M. Gertken ( Minnesota ) Having the voice recognition is excellent. I bought a few months ago, bought a gift for my parents, because it is so easy to use.

Bargain Addict ( Minnesota ) I had the opportunity to learn all the features of this GPS that I bought to replace a Garmin 360 that has been lost or stolen. However, use as a browser-based, where I punch in addresses and then held in her lap and looked at him as a passenger, it seemed to work, as well as the 360, but the volume was so low that I could not hear with the radio. If you do not see him so I knew to hear the next command said it probably would have lost our time.
And this is after you set the volume to maximum. Subsequently, we decided to go through the FM radio and when the volume was ok, there was a lot of static and interference to make this a viable option. I'm going to check the manual to see if I can change the default to an FM station that is less prone to interference, but otherwise, I will probably return this unit. I also tried the voice recognition software still can not comment on its effectiveness.

Jay Byrd ( Lexington, SC USA ) I bought this model after owning the 205 and 255 Garmin GPS unit that made me very happy. Then I moved up to this due to a larger screen and has been strongly recommended by a family member. Frankly I was disappointed with what the battery life and voice recognition. The original battery has a new and, moreover, does not hold a charge for more than a couple of days, even when turned off and turned completely off the island. I never had this problem with other models. It works on voice recognition, at times, but hates my Southern accent and I hate yelling at you while I'm driving, so just use it manually.
I had this unit about 2 months and a couple of times it froze on me and I had to disconnect and remove the battery to reboot the system. Like other smaller units that will take you to the road right in a moment, but do not count on local brands to be exact. Another disappointment was the way multi-lane. When I saw that the screen has been announced in multi-lane at an intersection, then, of course, thought the screen has always been so. This way you really see the tracks and signs, not just the triangle moves along a map. My first trip I discovered that she rarely goes to the multi-lane and only when there is more of an off-track in the same direction. Bummer! Ending on a positive note, due to a larger screen that I can read easily.
