What's great about it: East to set up, add locations, east to see
I love this GPS. The screen is much larger than the old one I had. I drive from FL. to TX. several times a year. I love that it shows the speed limit & your speed. When I 1st got it I had looked up a Fed-Ex location on my PC. I drove there & it was not at that location any more. I looked it up on this GPS with no problem, saved me a headache & a lot of unnecessary driving. Easy to get maps & register. This is my second Garmin, I liked the first one but this one has more features with a larger screen. Voice directions are helpful. I bought it on sale so I got a great deal. I would recommend this model to anyone for a good GPS without spending a lot of money. I have a navigation system in my car & I still use this one b/c the one in my car doesn't show speed limits or my speed which is very helpful in areas you're not familiar with.

About me... Budget Conscious, Frequent traveler, casual user, drive a lot in the early am hours
