What's great about it: Gets satellite quickly
What's not so great: Everything Else
We downloaded the newest software and maps. Took it out on about a 20 minute route that we know well to test. Lost the satellite about 5 times on that 20 minute drive, although it appeared to recover quickly. We set it to a voice that gives street names. It gave street names all right. As we were driving down the highway it kept saying turn left on X street. Turn right on Y street. These are not even streets you would take to get to our route. Called Garmin support and they again updated the software and had me turn on GPS simulator and run the route. Worked perfectly on the simulator. Took it back out on the road and it again began losing the satellite and naming streets indiscriminately. Then it said searching for more accurate information and stayed that way with the exception of saying "Drive to Highway 78". We were ON Highway 78 at the time. Returned the device to Best Buy. Haven't yet decided whether to chance another Garmin but it certainly won't be this model if we do. The old Garmin Nuvi 255 we have still works fine except it is slow to get a satellite.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price & all the features of a higher end model
What's not so great: nothing
I purchased this Garmin model after being very satisfied with a more expensive Garmin.
This has more features than my older more expensive model.
It has a cool feature I really like ......lane assist before the turn.
The screen actually splits to let you know what the exit will look like in an
area that may be new to you. Great for when your're traveling.

This was a fantastic buy for about $100. Recently moved to a new area and needed a reliable GPS and this was definitely it. Fast loading, accurate, plus lifetime maps. I don't know why people would pay $300+ for a GPS, when this does it all for about $100!

What's great about it: Price, features, and lifetime updates
What's not so great: nothing so far...
Replacing older moder Garmin I had. Cost to update map on it was almost as much as this unit on sale and it includes lifetime updates. Unit has slightly smaller screen the previous but speaks street names as well as shows map, even shows a "real look" pic of what exit looks like. Added bonus, even shows/warns where speed/red light camera's are coming up on your route.

What's great about it: Clear and large screen
What's not so great: Lack of map color options and voices
I have a TomTom , a Magellan, and this Garmin. I would say the TomTom is the best of the three. This Garmin is a little off on accuarcy of where your car is on the road. Also the screen is clear but lacks selections on map color and voices. It also will not let me add a waypoint unlike my ToTom or Magellan. Overall okay for the sale price I paid

What's great about it: easy to operate, good price, sets up well for viewing, special new screen for difficult road junctions, camera lalert
What's not so great: some weird pronunciations of street names, not up to date on locations in my city
I like this Garmin a lot and enjoy features I didn't have on my previous device, features listed above. The map is easier to follow and the turn warnings are better timed. Someone from your compant, however, needs to update the overall info on Montgomery. The Garmin doesn't recognize street names that changed two years ago. It also too often sends me to the wrong location, for example the site where Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Costco USED to be instead of where they are situated now. Many businesses, like Burlington Coat Factory, don't register at all.

What's great about it: Simple to use, Great display and easy to hear.
What's not so great: Nothing
Took a trip to Detroit and the last few miles it is one quick turn after another. The Garmin kept up and made our trip much less stressful then in the past. We live in a small town and are not use to big city traffic so to not worry so much about reading signs and which side of the road our next turn was, made us both very happy. We are big fans

What's great about it: Good directions and I like the exit ramp pictures
What's not so great: The speed limit listing which you can not turn off
Overall I like this Garmin GPS. The directions have been accurate and I like the exit ramp pictures on major highways, especially good when you have difficult lane choices. I dislike in the extreme the speed limit that is always shown, primarily because so ofthen the GPS gets this wrong! Garmin is clearly incapable of this data and needs to either eliminate this or make it something that can be turned off. If this GPS did not have this mandatory display feature I would have rated it higher.

What's great about it: good navigation USA-wide, and extra features
What's not so great: nothing. It's all good.
Tremendous value. For about $!00+/-, this nuvi 40LM helped take us from WNC to Dallas and back, right out of the box. And there were extra features, not expected at this price point: like the upcoming exit preview depicting the exit signs and traffic lanes in 3D. Excellent device for the cash.

What's great about it: So easy to install, program and use!
What's not so great: Didn't come with a manual; had to download one.
I purchased a Garmin Quest 2 approx. 8 years ago was so impressed with its quality that I purchased this new Garmin GPS for a second vehicle. I couldn't be happier with this new GPS... it's so much easier to program and use compared to the Quest 2. I rated the "Features" as "Good" because I couldn't find anything about how to replace the battery when that time comes; I suspect that it will need to be sent to Garmin to have that done.
