I thought it would be easier to use. I have been using Verizon Navigator when I needed it without any difficulty. I bought this Garmin for my wife to use, as it was recommended to her to be the one to get.
You have a lot to type in to enter the destination address. It defaults to the state you were in last when entering city, so I kept trying to enter Danbury, CT and it kept putting me in Danby, NY until I backtrack and found a screen to change the state to CT. then Danbury.
Also, the keys beep on typing, but if it enters two same characters, because you held it too long, you still only get one beep, not repetitive beeps, so you have to check each letter to make sure it entered properly.
We are planning a cross country road trip- so it will get a workout soon.
For now- I'll stick to my phone- I don't need a bigger screen.

What's great about it: it works
What's not so great: long setup to enter destination, enters letters without key beeps
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
