What's great about it: Easy to use - don't even need to use the manual

"I got one of these as a gift and initially was going to return it. I'm so glad I didn't. This thing is so easy to use. ust plug it in and the touch screen is easy to use. Locate places (shopping, restaurants, etc.) and then get verbal turn by turn directions. I don't know what else to say except this is a remarkable product."

What's great about it: Works well
What's not so great: Have to have the antenna up, not very loud

"This is a pretty alright GPS. Then again I'm pretty picky. Its nice that it is so thin, but it compromised speed (it takes a while to turn on) and user friendliness. But it's pretty cool i guess. Remember to keep the antenna up or it wont work otherwise. Props for Best Buy for keeping a low price on it."

What's great about it: It has never gotten me lost
What's not so great: I would like updates on the maps for new stores etc, wish it would provide some type of alternate route info

"I have used this for years now. Very durable. Automatically recalculates if you select a different route on your own but wish I could avoid a road if I want an alternate route before I ventured out. It would be nice to get free map updates for new stores. There are plenty of stores it does not know about. It is easy to use and will always get you home or where you are going. I give it a "good" rating."

What's great about it: Connects even in the middle of nowhere! Portable, nice options.
What's not so great: Cannot see the MPH and compass when using the directions feature, only the map.

"There we were, in the middle of nowhere Georgia, leaving what was an unpleasant stay in a hurry. We took a wrong turn, and found ourselves on red dirt roads like "John's road" unsure of where to turn, without a limitless gas supply.
The Garmon gave us accurate directions down to each dirt road we were on. It saved our day for sure!
I like the text to speech directions, the speedometer and compass when using map mode. I do not like that you lose those two features when using the directions mode. It took a little playing with the device to figure out you have to click on other buttons to see what is next on your journey, but after messing with it awhile we discovered different direction settings (Fastest, shortest, etc), the ability to see the next several steps in your journey, and more!
The only thing bad about using a gps is if you follow it literally on the highway, you can find yourself going the wrong way at times. Sometimes it says "keep right on I90" but it really means stay on 90, and use your EYES. That "right" was actually just a lane change, etc. Nothing beats using your brain (well, for most of us), but in conjunction with senses, it is an extremely handy tool. The prices have come down so much it is very affordable as well.
For people with issues seeing smaller screens you may want to go with the W (wide) series for a slightly larger view, but I had no problems with it.
Being able to pop in an SD card loaded with every topo map in the country and take it on the trail is handy too!"

What's great about it: Ease of use, accuracy.
What's not so great: None so far

"I bought this GPS for a trip from NJ to Virginia. I simply plugged in my destination, and that was all there was to it. The GPS performed just the way I expected, and for a change my wife and I didn't fight over inconsistent map directions or missed turns. The ability to plan ahead for fuel and food stops is a big advantage. You never have to wonder where the next gas station is, it tells you to the second. It's great to be able to pinpoint restaurants and attractions with just the touch of the screen. No more wading through brochures and tedious map reading. It's a real secure feeling to just type in the address and push go, it removes almost all of the stress from a road trip. I highly recommend a GPS. Use it once and you'll never leave home without it."

What's great about it: Easy to use, Portable
What's not so great: Cost for updates, No prefered route option

"I would recommend this product to everyone that doesn't have one. The pros outnumber the cons 10 to 1. I have had mine for over a year and simply luv it. The cost of updates is a little steep and probably only needs to be done every other year instead of the recommended once a year (unless your in an area where new streets are being built everywhere). It will get you from point A to point B but may not take you the most desirerable route.
I have all my kids friends addresses and sport locations loaded into "favorites" which makes remembering all those addresses unnecessary."

What's great about it: Easy to use, decent directions, good extras
What's not so great: Stopped working after a lightning storm, extras finicky at times

"Can't say enough good things about this little life-saver. We were driving to the Outerbanks from NJ, and missed a turn in Delaware that an online map site gave us. Well, I remembered that I had my Nuvi with me, powered it up, and it got me right on track again in no time. The attraction, gas, food, hotel, etc. finder is a nice feature, although it definitely misses places sometimes. Also, after driving through a lightning storm one night, it stopped working. But I called up Garmin, and sent it back for a new one, no problems."

What's great about it: Small (easy to travel with), versatile, easy to use
What's not so great: Some features (eg: changing volume on the fly) are difficult to use while using the nav system

"The Garmin Nuvi line is a very convenient, easy to use navigator system. This is a far better solution that paying for integrated nav systems because it is so portable -- take it along on trips that do not involve your own car just once and you will understand. While I do not use its phone/address book/MP3 player features, others do and there is certainly good value in an all-in-one system.
Of the things that I do not like, it is difficult to mute or lower the volume while in the trip mode. It is also a bit of a hassle to go to set up (rather than being able to toggle back and forth) to change between "fastest" and "shortest distance" trip directions.
Overall, a good value on a good product."

What's great about it: Points of Interest, Voice Turn by Turn Instructions
What's not so great: Visual Display of Next Turn

"I am a big fan of this GPS Unit. It has tons of information on shopping, dining out options, landmarks, etc. The voice turn by turn instructions are great. The only downside is that it could have better visual representation of the next turn you have to make. I find that the arrow showing the turn, as well as the text displaying the street name to turn onto, come up too close to the turn."
