Great GPS unit overall!

I've used a couple different Garmin products before (StreetPilot, Nüvi 350) and would highly recommend this unit. Features like the EcoRoute are definitely an upgrade from what I've had in the past. It actually helps you learn about your own driving and ways to save on fuel, such as smoother breaking/accelerating. Very easy to set up as well, with the ability to individualize to different cars and ever-fluctuating gas prices. A few minor downsides to this unit: No Bluetooth, but I knew that when I bought it. Also, the touch-screen sometimes doesn't register with my finger unless I push down harder, but oddly enough when I wear my leather gloves it's much better and more precise, which is actually nice in the winter since I wear them all the time. My only other minor complaint would be that the speed limit indicator isn't always 100% accurate, but it's at least nice to have it and is usually correct. I find it odd that there is no USB cable included since that's the only way to update the Garmin, but luckily I had one already.
What's great about it: Very user-friendly, EcoRoute is great to manage fuel cost, Lifetime traffic, Widescreen
What's not so great: No Bluetooth, Touch-Screen sometimes not so great, Speed Limit indicator not always accurate, no USB cable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This unit replaced an iWay 250c. So far it is working out great as a replacement for that, except one main thing...
With my iWay 250c (and the older 350c), you could pan and zoom anywhere on the map, then find POIs near that location. The Nuvi doesn't do this, but then again, I have not seen any other GPS units that could do this, besides the iWay.
What's great about it: Shows addresses where you click.
What's not so great: Can't find POI near an arbritrary location.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my first Garmin and purchased on Black Friday. What a fun unit, that you can do with all the cool downloads off the Garmin website. I had a no-name GPS unit before and I realize now what I have been missing. Alot!
What's great about it: Accuracy, price
What's not so great: not much to say
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've only used the Garmin a few times but it worked just like it should have. It's very easy to use. The size of the unit is small but I love it's portability and the fact that it doesn't obscure your view of the road. I think it's great that it displays the speed limit in the area you're driving through. I found the map update to be the most confusing thing about my experience.
What's great about it: Easy to use and gets you where you're going
What's not so great: Online map update confusing to download
I would recommend this to a friend!

We tested this out on a 60 mile drive. The Garmin provided directions to our location. It directed us on an alternate (slower) route. We went the way we normally go and let it recalculate. Worked great. On the way home we followed the Garmin directions. I think the travel time was close to the same and the distance might have been slightly less. all in all it works great. I have a good level of trust that it will continue to get me to locations. This has worked on business travel when I did not know the route, but arrived at the expected location.
What's great about it: Easy to set up and use
What's not so great: The directions are not perfect, but they get you to the location
I would recommend this to a friend!
