It works for me

on June 8, 2011

Posted by: Gyriene75

from Maryland

This is a decent navigator at a good price. It has yet to fail me like like other reviewers have said (if that changes, I'll let you know). The traffic feature is ok, but I haven't found it exceptionally helpful except being able to see how far the traffic stretches in front of you. Sometimes there is no traffic and other times it points out that there is traffic ahead as you pull to a stop on the interstate (thanks for the update). It does let you know about how long you will be delayed, which has proven to be accurate on most occasions. I was able to upload all speed and stop light cameras in Maryland from a POI website and now I'm alerted each time I approach one with a "bing" sound. I suppose that may have saved me from a few unwelcome tickets, so it's paid off. It's on sale, it's cheap and it works (for me). I recommend it.

What's great about it: Easy to use, qwerty keyboard (unlike my other Garmin), ability for traffic camera alerts.

What's not so great: The traffic could be better, but it can be useful. You only get one year of map updates for free. You'll pay after that.

I would recommend this to a friend!
