Great GPS unit overall!

I've used a couple different Garmin products before (StreetPilot, Nüvi 350) and would highly recommend this unit. Features like the EcoRoute are definitely an upgrade from what I've had in the past. It actually helps you learn about your own driving and ways to save on fuel, such as smoother breaking/accelerating. Very easy to set up as well, with the ability to individualize to different cars and ever-fluctuating gas prices. A few minor downsides to this unit: No Bluetooth, but I knew that when I bought it. Also, the touch-screen sometimes doesn't register with my finger unless I push down harder, but oddly enough when I wear my leather gloves it's much better and more precise, which is actually nice in the winter since I wear them all the time. My only other minor complaint would be that the speed limit indicator isn't always 100% accurate, but it's at least nice to have it and is usually correct. I find it odd that there is no USB cable included since that's the only way to update the Garmin, but luckily I had one already.

What's great about it: Very user-friendly, EcoRoute is great to manage fuel cost, Lifetime traffic, Widescreen

What's not so great: No Bluetooth, Touch-Screen sometimes not so great, Speed Limit indicator not always accurate, no USB cable.

I would recommend this to a friend!
