It's a great little unit...finds satellites quickly and reprograms lightning fast. The unit I received had a programming fault that only got diagnosed once I got online with Garmin's software technicians. It took several frustrating days of emails and phone calls to tech support before they finally offered this assistance. One tech support insisted that I had the wrong USB cable so I went out and purchased one with the Garmin label on it only to get the same result. They're phone support also seems to be understaffed as there was always a long wait period before getting someone to talk to. In the end, after about an hour on the phone working with the programming guy (who reprogrammed the unit remotely) my nuvi works wonderfully!!
What's great about it: Calls out street names
What's not so great: Problems getting the unit recognized by my computer
