I bought this GPS for my wife to replace a much older Garmin model that she dropped and broke. I also have a Garmin in my car, but it's a good bit older than this one too. Since I bought it for my wife, it's hard for me to review it, other than to day, she reports to me that it seems to do everything that it's advertised to do. When we first got it, it took a little over 3 hours to update the maps, which was actually pretty quickly compared to some of the updates I've done on my own (and her old) GPS units. We had one update on an older model that took 14 hours. I can't speak for this model, but I have a 1450 in my car, and I had to limit the area to the South Eastern U.S. in order to make the map updates a few years back. I am assuming this newer GPS has a good bit more memory than the older ones. It has some extra features that are not on my older model (and certainly not on my wife's older one, which was a couple years older than the one I have). It's a nice looking unit. She opted for the suction cup mount on the windshield this time (as opposed to the "bean bag" style dash mount we'd both formerly used in our cars). Really haven't used this for any long distance travel yet, just testing it out locally. I would imagine, given our experience with older Garmin models that it will offer the same function and reliability. I've noticed that various GPS units (including iPhone GPS) are not always 100% correct. Sometimes you get erroneous information, but over all, the older Garmins we had were over 95% accurate, so I expect this one probably will be as well.Read full review

I have other garmins and gps systems are pretty reliable, but this one was for my wife and after I updated the maps via website the maps are still very lame and do not often give me the best directions. One unhappy customer

This Garmin is easy to program, directions are easy to follow as the arrows show you when next turn is approaching. The voice commands are not excessive. Attractions in Area are easy to find. The lifetime maps is a great perk. Will always get a Garmin instead of a navigation system in my car, plus it's portable for when I travel out of state and rent a car.

Got this for my aunt. We took it for a test drive worked excellently. However, she had trouble with an address and I am going over there to assist tomorrow, most likely it's on her end (does not use much technology)
