I purchased this GPS for the value and features for rthe price. I wanted a basic no frills GPS, and this is pretty much that. It also has the traffic feature, that I was wanting. Has a large screen with many points of interest built in. Great Value and many features.
What's great about it: Works right out of the box,

As a new GPS owner, I went through all the consumer report guides and checked out everything I could on-line before I made the purchase. I had my eye on this model for several months, but kept putting off the purchase. I am very pleased with this model. Easy to operate, clear instructions. I set it up for my wife to use in only 10 minutes (most of that time was opening the package).
What's great about it: Simple to use, lifetime traffic

I don't know what problems others have but this unit has worked fine for me. It aquires in a few seconds and is loud enough at 80 % volume. The avert delays will give you a route that you should check ito be shure you want to take the recommended route. THAT is to do with the mapping not the function of the unit. It also recalculates fine for my use when i don't follow the recommended route.

My GPS works just fine; however, my wife's does not work as well. I believe it is just a glitch due to mass production. We are going to take that one back since we have the warrantees and get a new one. Love the Traffic updates; on our trip to New York City, that option saved us hours getting it to and out of the City. I would buy one of these for every vehicle I own.
What's great about it: I have always used a GArmin and this one is just as easy as the others i have owned
What's not so great: Don't drop it...That is how my last one was destroyed.

I love the auto night dimming feature. It is very easy to find and save favorites. I haven't yet had a chance to test the traffic advisory feature. It's easy to see where you're going, but I think there is probably room to show more upcoming minor streets.
What's great about it: Auto nite dim. Gets satallites quickly. Auto on when plugged in. Long cord.
What's not so great: Map updates are pricey after 1st free update.

I have had the product for a few weeks now and really love it. The included Lifetime traffic does give you an ad or 2, but it's well worth it. I got it on sale for $129.99 which was a steal in comparison to the other models, even the Nuvi 255w was priced the same. There are only 2 minor drawbacks from my streetpilot 330c. First, there is no volume control except for the "built-in digital on-screen"control. Secondly, The is that the charging cord must be plugged into the back of the unit each time it is to be charged or used plugged in. I liked the feature on the 330c that the charging cord plugged into the base and the unit had contacts that would connect when the unit was snapped into the holder. Other than that the unit accesses the sats very quick and gives great and accurate directions. In my opinion, it's a great unit!

This is a great little device. We have used it weekly. Re-routes quickly and gives turn by turn directions. My wife is not very technical but she has no problem with this unit. We serve as pastor in a very small town with lots of small towns close by. It has been very helping finding streets in the types of places you don't want to be last. Great buy
What's great about it: Great price, huge screen, ease of use
