This unit is absolutely great for its price, my wife is from another country and I got it to help her get around now that she has a license. Lane assist and routing options are very helpful for new drivers so they can avoid congested highways and know what lanes to be in. I registered it with Garmin and made sure to update the map to the newest available one. It has so many useful options that are simply not found on older gps units. We are even planning on getting the backup camera add on for it now. Also with the smartphone app this unit is good for hands free calling and getting even more detailed traffic info. I may have just got it for her but with all its functions we will definitely be using this on future road trips as it has many features to help locate new and interesting places. Normally I just use my phone but this this unit is even more accurate than Google when it comes to locating a specific address. Over all I would recommend this for newer drivers and people who really like to go on road trips as this unit can actually assist you in finding great places and even highly rated local restaurants. I never thought I would use a GPS again since I have unlimited data on my phone but this one has actually changed my mind. Clearly garmin has found a way to stay ahead with units like this.Read full review

I've in this home for 45 yr. When I get to my home which is on a main highway it tells me to do a U-Turn . Went to a football game last week , it got me there fine . When I left the game it told me to turn a differant direction , which took me to places man has gone before . My advice , BUY A GARMIN , KEEP YOUR TANK FULL .

So far this unit size, 5" is great. it has all kind of bells & whistles. The only problem is that it didn't come with the power/antenna cable that is necessary to receive traffic information witch is basically one of the main features of this particular model. I was really in disappointment since this problem wasn't disclosed in the advertising on the Ebay page. At this point and time i believe that I am entitled to get the mentioned cable witch I believe must be part of the system. J.O.

This is a great machine. It is my 5th Garmin. Every few years I update my Garmin. True, there are 7 inch machines out now, but this is perfect for me --- not too large, but much bigger than my previous Garmin GPS. Everything is better, bigger and faster than before. And they have gotten rid of that traffic receiver in the cord --- it is now built into the GPS. I love to search a city before going there to find hotels and shops --- very easy to change the city to where I am going and see everything I need. Then I go to the information about each --- address and telephone numbers and make my reservations. These are wonderful phone books all in one. My only two complaints are these: I wish they used the mini type plugs. They kept the older style and now I need a cable for the Garmin and a separate one for my phone. I wish the battery lasted longer. I keep it plugged in while I use it, but it would be nice to be able to go more than an hour on foot (the battery is rated at only one hour). Otherwise a great machine. I absolutely recommend it.Read full review

This GPS is very easy to use and easy to set up. It is pretty good with voice recognition but it seems that I have to speak a little loud at times for it to understand me. A negative is even after the updates the map seem to be slightly outdated but not to the point that it's an issue. The traffic updates are there but also do not seem to be quite as accurate as Google. Very easy to add trips as you're driving and very easy to find places on the way. If they could get a format as simple as "ok Google" where you can just speak a couple words to find anything, I would definitely give it a 5.
