I bought this for my wife for Christmas. Overall it's a good unit with a nice, bright display. The spoken directions sound a little tinny to me, unlike thoese from an older Garmin unit I saw a year or two ago. We live in central Florida north of Orlando. A four-lane street that connects to the one outside my house was completed two years ago, but still does not show up in the unit's map. (And yes, I logged onto Garmin's website and performed the one-time free map download.) I'm sure that Garmin purchases the map databases from another source so perhaps this is not Garmin's fault, but it does cause me to question the validity of the unit's maps.
What's great about it: Ease of use, spoken directions
What's not so great: Maps are apparently not updated often
