Verified Buyer

Pros: Easy To Read, Large Screen, Accurate Maps, Compact, Reliable Performance Cons: Acquires Satellites Slowly, Difficult Menus Other thoughts: This is my third brand of GPS. It is the only one that did not ask me to drive routes that were impossible due to incorrect inforrmation. The first two directed me on a route that would have necessitated driving across a six lane highway where there was no access. I am still learning to use the unit fully.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Pros: Easy Menus, Simple Controls, Easy To Read, Large Screen, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Reliable Performance, Easy To Set Up Cons: Other thoughts: The Nuvi has exceeded my expectations and a huge improvement over my older Garmin. Have had no problems updating the maps and installing the Bluetooth with my Iphone. Touch screen is responsive, clear and bright. The large 5 inch screen is very nice and the whole unit very slim. Really love this unit.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Good but I still need help

By VRW

From Wyoming

Verified Buyer

Pros: Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact, Large Screen Cons: Difficult Menus Other thoughts: It came with a usb cord but it is only good for charging. It did not come with the correct usb for connecting to my computer. I had to order it separately when I finally discovered why 'can not locate device' kept showing up on my laptop. It doesn't show the POIs as we travel like my TomTom does but seems to be pretty accurate. I wish it was easier to map my particular custom routes. Maybe others find it easier to use, I guess I am still learning. Also wish the call center (for help) was open during hours I can call. They are only open when I am at work.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
