I have used Garmin in the past and haven't been disappointed..until I bought this one for myself. I checked reviews on this product, which were great, so I chose this one. First time I used it I took an 8 hr trip of which took me through St. Louis, Mo. As you come into St. Louis it is 6 lanes across, with 2 major exits on the rt side. It is a pretty dangerous area. I was quite sure that I was suppose to take a certain exit but the GPS told me that it was a different exit a mile up the road. Then as I passed the exit it told me to take it on the rt. Problem was I had just passed it. It did re-route me but added about 25 min to my trip, and a few more highways. Then I needed to go to a O'Reilleys to get my windshield wiper fixed, it "said" it was w/in 1 mile, so we picked it. It took up about 7 miles out of our way and NOT to a O'Reilleys it took us to some office building. On our return home we were looking for a specific big chain restraunt to go to, checked the GPS and it said there wasn't one. As we look up, there was a highway sign showing upcoming restraunts, it was on there and was only about 1-1/2 miles away. I would return this product in a heartbeat but I threw the box away because I was so sure I would love it. So to sum it up this product is worthless, and I may just buy a new one..a TomTom next time of which I was very much against when I started the process of looking for a GPS.
What's great about it: It was correct most of the time.
What's not so great: The times it wasn't correct, cost me a lot of time on a long trip.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Ease of Use
