I shopped around for the perfect device for the money. I didn't need bluetooth, lane assist, or a large screen. That left me with this model or a Tom Tom. After talking to friends and co-workers, all recommended Garmin. They were spot on! This device is great! It is simple to use and does the trick. I took the family on a LONG trip from Chicago to New Mexico. Over the trip, we missed 2 exits on the highway. The Garmin routed us back on quickly. This alone made the purchase worth it! I wouldn't waste money on a larger screen device. Anything larger than this would obstruct your view out the window.
What's great about it: It is simple to use and accurate. I could not travel anywhere without it!
What's not so great: The ads are useless. I'm not sure how the traffic details are actually determined.
