Great GPS
on January 10, 2010
Posted by: LisaSC
from Isle of Palms, SC
I have owned a TomTom for a few years now and was frustrated by its limited points of interest. It was great for restaurants, lodging, gas, but terrible as far as places of worship (few to no Christian churches, only temples or mosques), and a strange lack of shops (the only grocery store listed was Food Lion). I tried out a Garmin in the store and was pleased with its POIs - great variety, easy to find and very accurate, complete with phone numbers. Then this model came up for sale at the holidays and had so many good features for the price.
There are many advantages over my old GPS - spoken street names really help, as well as the little icon showing the speed limit on many roads. It tells you the side of the street your destination is on, which so far has been accurate. I love the fact that it shuts on and off automatically when you turn your car on or off. The map graphic is very easy to read and follow - I like how it shows your upcoming turn in a clear arrow path. I have yet to see the free traffic icon appear - haven't used it in a large enough metro area yet, I guess, so can't comment on that feature.
I wish it had a clock showing the current time on the main screen (it only shows your arrival time), as well as a more easily accessible mute button -- you have to go through a couple steps to mute, which is hard when driving. But all in all I am very pleased with this unit.
What's great about it: so many perks for the price
What's not so great: mute button would be nice
I would recommend this to a friend!
