I bought this GPS yesterday.
This item was on sale at that time so I only paid 79.99+tax.
Everything work really great but sometimes touch screen doesn't work well(probably, because of my nail length).
However, this GPS work really great.
I would really recommand this GPS.
What's great about it: EASY TO USE, NO LONGER ROADING TIME
What's not so great: Touch screen sometimes freeze.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The first day I tried it I decided to go to places I already knew the directions...the first was Mitchells Restaurant. As I headed West on Union Centre Blvd...the Restaurant was on my LEFT...the Garmin said.."Turn RIGHT on Allen...absolutly the wrong way to go. Then the same day I programmed it to take me to Bethesda North Hospital. As I am heading South on Montgomery Road...the hospital is to my left...the Garmin is screaming at me to turn RIGHT on Pfeiffer Road...I have no idea where it was going to take me...but it wouldn't be BN Hospital. Well....if everytime I might turn this thing on I was going to doubt its reliability...it was a complete waist to me. I took it back the next day and got my money back...now back to the tried and true way...maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth.
What's great about it: At first I was impressed by how easy it worked and how clear the directions were...I was excited
What's not so great: Gave bad directions first time out = two different times the same day
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my first GPS personally, but I have used several others. This one very quickly finds and locks into satellites. It has great features, including traffic (although the FM receiver is built in to the car charger, not the unit)and re-routes quickly and efficiently.
What's great about it: Easy to use, accurate, quickly finds and locks into satellites
What's not so great: Traffic relies on FM receiver in power cable, not built in
I would recommend this to a friend!

I loved GARMIN GPS and I had been a loyal customer until I bought this. I don't want to be too critical about this. All I can say is it freezes up so often that I stopped using it after 2 weeks. Possible a QC issue, but it is just annoying that you need to reboot it a few times in 30 minute driving... this is my last GARMIN purchase.
What's great about it: low price and ease of use
What's not so great: freezes up too often!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Decent GPS but lacks some very basic featuers

This is my first portable GPS. I normally use my Honda's in-built GPS so I had something to compare this one against. I bought this one for when I fly to other cities to visit client sites.
Now about the GPS.
-- The GPS was a good bargain given that I got it for $40 less than the listed price. While I do not expect it to perform at par with a standard Honda GPS, it lacks the very basic feature of displaying the remaining distance and time on the main navigation screen. You can look at it by clicking on "Menu" and then on "Map" but then you will have to back out by clicking "Back" again twice. That's four clicks while you are still driving the vehicle. And that's when the GPS makes you agree to not operate it while you are driving. Go figure! The other way you can determine the remaining time is that the main navigation screen tells you the estimated arrival time. So you can look at that, then look at your watch or the time on the dashboard and do the math. Even though I might sound petty complaining about the lack of this feature, I can't see a reason for not having it display on the main navigation screen.
I expected better from Garmin. By the way, I checked out other Garmin GPSs and it seems to be a standard thing with them all. I guess it's just bad designing on their part
-- The touch screen can get a little frustrating to use because it's hard to click on the correct key even when you think you did
-- You type a little fast and the GPS has trouble keeping up with you. So while it will register the key strokes, the beep on every key press doesn't play and that gets confusing if you are concentrating on pressing the right key and going by the beep to confirm that you did press it
-- Garmin does some strange things with the keyboard too. While using an arrow pointing left as the icon for backspace is pretty much the standard throughout the world, Garmin's GPS has an icon of a rubber at the end of a pencil. While it's just a matter of getting used to, it's rather strange as to why would they do something like that and confuse the users. And here I thought the world was moving more towards standardizing things and making people's lives easier
-- Finally, I found it extremely surprising that while Bestbuy.com mentioned a discounted price of $159.99, when I visited the store, it was selling for $199.99. Although the staff was very helpful and billed me only 159.99, they had no explanation as to why was it selling without the discount at the store. I never expected this from Best Buy and am very disappointed
Since, I only intend to use it occasionally, I will not return this for another, but it sure suffers from some serious drawbacks.
What's not so great: The navigation screen does not show the remaining distance or time
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great bang for the buck. Best Buy had a wonderful sale promotion allowing us to get this better GPS/Navigation unit with live traffic updates for price that normally does not have that wonderful feature.
Instead of making U-turns going past my exits, or calling the office for directions on the fly, this does all the work and makes me look good. I also like the feature that plots my estimated arrival time and updates with any progress or delays, helpful so I can let others know when to expect my arrival.
What's great about it: best feature grouping for the price
What's not so great: transferring traffic code
I would recommend this to a friend!
