This GPS gives very good features for a low cost. Have been using it for 3 years now. If you are a little computer savvy, you can get the most out of it. I had issues like slowness and GPS getting stuck during navigation. I did two things which fixed everything: 1. Reset the device, 2. Connect the GPS to a computer, back up the contents of the GPS external drive to your local hard drive, format the GPS external drive, and then copy the contents back from local hard drive to GPS external drive. These two resolved all the issues I had, and GPS runs smooth and fast after that.

I like the lifetime maps and lifetime traffic. I wanted an affordable gps for our commuter car, we have tomtom's in the other cars and love them but too expensive to put in the third car. This 2136T-LM is very slim and the screen is nice and clear. Very easy to program, voice is clear and loud enough, with turn by turn instructions. Great value if you can find it under 90 bucks. Not as feature rich as the more expensive models, no bluetooth, no gas prices, but good model for it's price.
This is a good, overall GPS. I would recommend it. The screen is easy to use, read, and the voice is clear. It is not fancy, just basic for around town. Sometime I myself know a faster route, but listen to how the voice directs me. It always will get me there, sometimes the longer route. This is my second Magellan GPS and I find is more user friendly than the competetors.
Received the GPS and turned on, had a full charge showed my location. Time was correct. Display very clear.out in car and drove around town worked great. Took a trip to South Carolina and used the GPS and worked super. The traffic feature saved me about 5 hours getting me through high traffic areas and past accidents that would have had us stopped for hours. I bought this GPS for the features of lifetime maps and traffic. The 4.3 screen is easy to see. As far as I can see it is better then most other GPS's on the market. I have several older GPS's and am selling them. This one works great. I love the screen at freeway exits showing both and which one to take. This one saved me hundreds already in updates. A great buy and easy to use. I reccommend this one.
Purchased this model because it was a name brand and had lifetime map updates. Got it out of the box, loaded the Magellan software on my pc and checked for updates. Was able to update to 2015 maps with NO PROBLEMS. I've used it several times now and the only issue so far is that this model takes a little long to re-route if you miss a turn. Seems like its best to slow down and give it a minute to get you back on track. Other than that it works great. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. For the money it's a GREAT value.
