What's great about it: It's accurate, garmin has a large online community, comes loaded with 2009 maps, tools to add POI's
What's not so great: No TTS, it's a garmin so it's more expensive,map updates need to be upped to a year after purchase not 60 days

"First off I paid $169.99 for this unit which is a little expensive compared to others such as Navigon and MIO which offers many more features for the price. With that said what you get with Garmin is a regularly updated website, fun downloads like voices and vehicles for free, you can send POI's from google maps to the Nuvi, software to add your own points of interest files from other websites which makes a GPS much more valuable, a large community of Garmin users which makes it hacker friendly. Was it worth the extra money to buy a Garmin? I would have to say yes. The only problem with garmin is that you have to pay for new map updates after 60 days from the day you turn on your GPS. But with a little internet searching there's a community that will help you around this. Overall very satisfied and glad I bought a garmin."

What's great about it: It does the job for a great price. Great battery life too
What's not so great: It doesn't have a lot of the features some of the more expensive ones have that are nice.

"For the money this is a great buy. If you're on a budget this is the GPS for you. The only flaw is that it doesn't have as many features as some of the more expensive ones but if you want to get around then this works great."

What's great about it: Size and clarity of the voice commands
What's not so great: Wish it spoke street name to turn on

"I have zero sense of direction. I am always lost. I bought this to use around the city and this has been my best purchase ever. It gives clear, concise directions. The screen is easy to read. I have found no difficulty finding the signal. It shows all the streets in the city. The only thing that could have made this more perfect would have been if it spoke the name of the street to turn on. It shows it on the screen and tells me when to turn so it does it's job. For less than 200.00 this GPS is great. I don't think I would ever need one that does more than what this one does. I recommend this to everyone."

What's not so great: doesn't announce street names

"I put off buying a GPS because I just didn't know which one to buy that was under $200. I chose this one. I'm very happy with my purchase. I love it for going to yard sales and vacations."

CUTE EASY AND QUICK   07/25/2008
By Anonymous Reviewer from Fullerton, CA

What's great about it: EASY TO USE
What's not so great: N/A

"The garmin is so easy to use and affordable. The real time traffic is awesome. I love white and I was given the white one as a gift. Super easy one time set up. Awesome how the "where am i" feature is almost accurate. The touch buttons have enough space between them so you dont have to worry about touching other buttons. Location security is really nice."
