This was my first GPS I ever owned and it works really great. The screen is clear and bright, as are the directions. The spoken directions and street names are clear and the volume is adjustable and is not too quiet. I bought this the day after Thanksgiving to use primarily for our family trip from Mishawaka, Indiana to Orlando, Florida and back again. This GPS got us there in record time without a hitch - and I am not the greatest with directions. The traffic receiver was so/so - it works on major routes/cities and from what I have read it bases its traffic estimations off other Garmins in your area - so readings can very. What I really liked about this electronic was its ease of use and how to find places while you are traveling. It was so easy/user friendly to find all of the places we wanted to go including all the different dining hot spots while we were traveling. I also purchased a case that was on sale and I didn't need any other accessories - the windshield mounting clip works perectly. Again, awesome device and I do not regret buying it.
What's great about it: Easy to setup, use, and update
