a word I am saying...It is a very good unit once you figure how to get thru to it where exactly you want to go...sometimes you have to get very creative when entering a destination and the voice recognition is absolutely useless....best part is the memory of places you did get to go to...simply scroll thru the history and there you go...other than that, it has had its moments of usefulness and has helped out when I did finally get my destination entered...easy to use ? not so much...good value? compared to other pricing...Yes...Reliable performance? Before or after you finally get your destination entered? Most valuable when unable to connect your smartphone to a cell tower.

This new Garmin's display only shows two variables, say speed and arrival time. Other data are available but need using the touch screen which is a bad idea when driving alone. Can't imagine why this display is less friendly than earlier models

Previously had the Nuvi 3597 but battery died and I broke the screen trying to replace the battery. Looked at newer Garmin GPS but they didn't appear to do much more than the 3597 with the exception of wifi connection. What I liked about the 3597 is it doesn't require having to plug and unplug the USB cable but instead the cable goes to the magnetic mount which makes attaching the 3597 to the windshield mount a breeze. What I received didn't come with the windshield mount or magnet attachment but I had those from the one I messed up. What I received looked and performed just like it was new and battery could be fully charged unlike the one it replaced. Delivery was reasonably fast as well. All in all, very satisfied with the purchase.

This is my second Garmin 3597. I have had one for a few years. I bought this one to replace an older failing model for my wife’s car. I like everything from the ease of use and sensitivity of the touch-screen to the very detailed verbal directions that it gives. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it sometimes loses Bluetooth connectivity to the snartlinked traffic data. When it does you have to go back in settings. Note this happens with our iPhones. Not sure if it also occurs with other phones. Unlike newt Garmin’s this unit receives both radio transmitted and online traffic without purchasing a separate charger/receiver.

Arrived quickly, exactly as pictured. A nice unit with only a tiny cosmetic flaw. I look forward to lots of great navigation without needing a cell phone signal.
