 one disappointment after another December 2, 2008
Jake Reynolds (FT Lauderale)
ok straight to the facts: br /-Takes forever to boot up vs other model I had. br /-It takes a while to calculate a route (i guess a small processor in this one) br /-The map seems to be off by 400ft to the east. (Yes this is a problem!) br /-The voice only says "turn left", or "turn right" it doesn't try to tell you what street. (the other magellen I had does tell you the street. this is very useful in the city) br /-The voice notice to "turn" doesn't kick in until right at the intersection (booooooo!) br /- br /-Basically: it's so bad that it prompted me to write this review. br / br / br /
 Great Product Gret Price December 2, 2008

This was ready to use and worked right out of the box. The maps are not as up-to-date as I would have expected, but I think I can update once for free if I do it right away. This is my first GPS and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
 Very practical and pretty! December 1, 2008

Very good product! I have used four different GPS systems that family members own and this is the most user friendly and direction savvy GPS I have found, I highly recommend it to all my friends.

I thought for the price of this item, that it was a good deal. Very happy with how it works.
It gets you there! November 22, 2008

I love this unit and am so happy they are thinking about the female population and having 'colors'! This is our fifth Garmin unit (we have the marine versions also) and as usual it is very user friendly. All of our other units are black-so seeing a color choice made me happy. I have an older Streetpilot and can't believe how much smaller and lighter this unit is. Also it was much easier to set up- 'right out of the box'. The older versions needed to have the maps/charts downloaded to the unit itself or a 'data card'. Even updating the software was a breeze. Operating the unit itself is simple. And it gets you there! Would highly recommend.
