I bought the device because of high rating. Overall it is a good product. But there are something that apparently not good: I went to a nearby city, the best way is to go highway, but it pick the local road: about 7 miles local. I cannot understand how it do the calculation. It is not a complex route at all. I was using the fastest routing method, so it is not a setting issue. It failed to find the best route many times. I would say google map routing is much better than Garmin. I didn't try other models, so if most GPS cannot do a good job on routing selection, then I still have to use Garmin.
What's great about it: easy to use
What's not so great: often cannot find best route, no lane assistant
