Best value due to N. America and Euro maps included

Best value in a GPS, if you travel to Europe, it includes all the maps. Be sure to get a 4gb micro SD card, and download and update all the maps. The recent update to Garmins site makes keeping your unit up to date very easy. There were two firmware updates, and North America and Europe map updates. The internal memory only has room for the basic installed maps, so be sure to have a fresh SD card in place before you download the maps. Lifetime traffic is great... And I figure that map updates are not as critical. I bought 4 of these to lend out to our Global Travelers from our office. I added all the corporate offices as favorites in one unit, backed it up and then it was easy to transfer the favorites to the other three. Be sure to check preferences, as by default, non-paved roads are set to avoid. I am very happy with the unit, it finds sats very fast, quick boot up, and lane assist works great too.

Good product that will come in handy during travels to Europe.

My only disappointment is that this Garmin version does not announce the expected street name when approaching the turn. This has been an appreciated feature on our previous Garmin GPS
models.

Good value and love that it works in Europe.

Worked great in Europe but a couple of miscues here at home. Nice large screen. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​x

Great product and easy to use

This is my first Garmin GPS. I used to have two Magellan ,and nothing to compare! Garmin is way better than the other brand,well built , and easy to use. Bought this Garmin because I had to travel to Europe, and I need it for driving directions.

Should use route nos. Pricey map updates. A must for international travel.

Used in USA, England, Germany, Austria, and Holland. Never got it to lock uo to satelite in England. Worked well in other countries.

Real life saver. Audio steer Commands more useful than map.

Garmin uses the least useful name for streets and routes. If it is HWY 75 in Dallas they will call it North Central Expressway. Fine if you live there. It gets worse when Garmi is giving you an english pronounciation of a German or Dutch local name. The map and audio commands should use route "numbers" instead of street "names" which are often not posted.

You save time and frustration by following the turn commands and ignoring street names.

The touch screen, like most, is poor. Finaly got mine calibrated to take inputs from most of the keys some of the time. On a hot day half the keys are dead. Put it in front of the AC vent for 5 minutes and it usually comes back.

GUI is clunky. Better stop yuour car if you want to change something.

In spite of Garmin's quirks I wouldn't part with it. It is a real asset when traveling.
