Very good GPS

This is my second GPS (first one was a Sony NVU-78) and I like this unit a lot. It works right out of box, plug in the power/antenna and very quickly it located me and started to receive traffic information. The brightness is very good, text-2-speech is good in general, and depending on the voice you chose. The accented voice adds some entertaining factor to the drive too.
On the down side, the color of the planned route (pink in night mode) does not stand out enough. Also, I like to be able to change the heading (north up or 3-D or vehicle directio up) with an on-screen icon. The ETA is useful, but there's not display on distance left.
Overall, I am happy with this GPS. The downsides are not dignificant, and at the price I paid ($125) for a 4.3" GPS with lifetime traffic, it simply is unbeatable.
What's great about it: Works out of box, traffic info
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Garmin seems to have gotten it right! This makes our second unit. Their units are dependable and very easy to use. The voice is generally very clear and intelligable. Little use so far but I can't find anything wrong with it yet. As a special note...the first unit we purchased saved my husband's life as he suffered a heart attack while driving in Kentucky. He used the unit and it pointed him directly to an ER and he was there within 10 minutes! These things are life-savers!
What's great about it: Very simple to use. Very dependable.
What's not so great: Haven't found a thing yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

All our friends recommended Garmin so I bought this unit as a Christmas gift. It is easy to use and my husband likes the larger screen. Unfortunately the maps aren't completely up to date in our area (LA County) and it's about 60ft off. When we are "home" it shows that we are parked 2 houses up the street. Since we live in north LA county, the traffic feature doesn't kick in until about 15 miles south of our home. Unit is small enough to stow in glove box or console in the car to prevent theft.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Traffic feature doesn't kick in until about 15 miles south of my house
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recieved my Garmin GPS as a Christmas present from my parents because I'm always getting lost. It was very easy to program and set up. I use it everywhere I go. The only problem I've had with it is that the battery doesn't last long enough and it needs more features on it.
What's great about it: It's very easy to use and figure out without having to read the manual on it.
What's not so great: It would be nice if the battery life was longer and if it had more features on it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Newburgh, IN
Again, easy to setup, easy to use, easy to dismount to avoid it being a target of theft. Haven't done any updates or anything to it, I'm in no hurry..... I purchased this to help my kids get around and its worked out great for them. Great unit.
What's great about it: Quick setup, easy to use and live with, great price
What's not so great: I'm sure that the suction cup will randomly fall eventually.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Garmin makes a great GPS. I have one, and purchased this one for my parents. The value for the price I paid at Best Buy is excellent! The unit is very user-friendly once you get it set in your home state! It makes a great gift.
What's great about it: I got a great deal, and ease of use for my parents (it was a gift for them)
What's not so great: nothing yet
I would recommend this to a friend!
