nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Easy Menus, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Read, Compact, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Reliable Performance
Cons: Bluetooth Sound
Other Comments: The sound through the built-in speakers is very tinny and unclear. Getting sound through the FM speakers is better, but the static makes doing that unreliable

nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up, Compact, Simple Controls, Reliable Performance, Easy Menus
Cons: Short Battery Life
Other Comments: Now that I bought this Garmin Nuvi, I just can't live without it. It does so much. It even directed me out of a winding themepark parking lot which doesn't have a street name. If you're not trying to find an address, but you still have it on, it tells you what exits are coming up. Or it tells you what road you're on.
The only error I encountered was a thee-road fork with three different names, and I saw an entirely different name on my Garmin. This could have been my fault as a new user, and I didn't have much time to react. Garmin is the one for me.
Yes, I recommend this product

nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Compact
Cons: Acquires Satellites Slowly
Other Comments: I use this product to find Hotels, restaurants, Friends address, and I am happy with it, but what I did not like at all is that It is really slow finding new routes, if a missed an exit or if I took the wrong street, I almost had to stop waiting for the new directions.

nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy Menus, Large Screen, Compact
Cons: Short Battery Life
Other Comments: A giant leap forward over the Street Pilot III. Fast, lightweight and accurate. Very intuitive entering addresses. Mapping excellent. Screen occasionally "freezes". I do miss the "total trip data" page from the Street Pilot, but the overall improvement in showing secondary roads overcomes that loss. I had to return the 1st 885T for replacement. It would not charge from any DC source. [...] I highly recommend both Garmin and Beach Camera.

nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Easy Menus, Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up, Reliable Performance, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Simple Controls, Large Screen
Cons: NOT incl FM AntennaPwr, Short Battery Life
Other Comments: Moved to new area - use to find points of interest and addresses. Does a great job of telling where to turn, what lane to get in, etc...with plenty of notice so you are not changing lanes at the last minute. Also displays the next exit coming up on the top row. Two minor items I think would make nearly perfect 1) if came with FM antenna/power cord instead of just MSN (web enabled) cord 2) getting blue tooth via the radio works OK - but does not go to lower channels that have no "noise" (comparable to a TVs snow).
Yes, I recommend this product

nuvi 885T 4.3" GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition, Bluetooth, Lane Assist
(GRNUVI885T)
Pros: Compact, Easy Menus, Reliable Performance, Large Screen, Easy To Read, Simple Controls, Easy To Set Up, Acquires Satellites Quickly
Cons: bluetooth, Car charger plug-in
Other Comments: I really like this model. I do have a hard time getting clear bluetooth phone call reception through the speakers. Plus, the place where the car charger plugs into charge the unit is inconvenient - it plugs into the side of the window mount. If the unit needs to charge, but your passenfer wants to use the GPS you are out of luck unless you disassemble it from the windshield.
