Never owned a GPS before-

Customer Rating:
I purchased this item for a recent road trip to the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco to Seattle. I did quite a bit of research and found this GPS got wonderful reviews all around.
The Good: worked pretty great on the trip, decent recalculation times and POI's (although it did fail to find a large strip mall close to my home that was built 3-4 years ago, so I'm not sure how recently the maps in this software have been updated). At first I thought that the calculation times were really slow, but it definitely helps if you use the "Near" button at the bottom of the screen to narrow your searches. Using this feature is highly recommended. One feature I definitely appreciated was that one confusing highways, the view switches to snapshot of the highway signs and lanes to better direct you where to go. This only happened twice on the trip, but the switches were well timed and very helpful.
The Bad: There are more than a few places not included in the pre-programmed POI's. Sometimes searches take 3 or more minutes (which doesn't sound like a lot- until you're in a hurry.
The Ugly: I hate the keyboard! The buttons are hard to press and it feels like it takes forever, especially for place names longer than 12 or so letters. Often I press a letter and a completely different letter appears on the screen, necessitating use of the erase button, which is inconveniently placed and hard to press, even though my fingers are small even for a woman's.

Overall, I am satisfied with this product, although if I could go back and choose again, I might make a different choice.

Gets me to the church on time

Customer Rating:
This product works pretty good. The driving directions are clear and fairly accurate. The directions of use and how to use the features are poor. I like the display showing time of arrival and speed limits, speed signs are a little sparse in this area, but cops and their tickets are not. I have noticed a lag in responce time. Several times it will tell me I have 500 ft before the turn when in reality I'm right at the turn. It seems to be a few seconds behind me, with my driving style a few seconds behind can be too late. If you drive more reasonably there should be no problem. I am a little disappointed with the lack of additional voices and images that are available for Garmin users looks like the others have snatched up most of the voice-overs.

One thing I wish Garmin would do is let you edit the maps. I drive out to Reservations where the maps do not cover, I would like to program in the roads so I can find my way out or back in again. I know another GPS provider allows you to edit.

Great value for GPS

Customer Rating:
As a first time GPS user, I was looking for a GPS that would give me the basics but also have some amenities to it as well and this GPS has done just that. I was intrigued by the traffic and the multi-point destinations specifically as it set itself apart from other similarly priced units that had what I wanted.

The traffic feature, when available, is nice and has helped navigate to destinations. It has been reliable as far as how long and where a backup will be. However, I wish that the traffic feature was available in a broader area. Advertisements on GPS are very small and a non-issue.

The multi-point destination, which I was looking foward to, is great to have. Having the speed limit available while driving has also been very useful.

When forced to take an alternate route because of a downed tree, the GPS recalculated very quickly and put me on a differrent route.

The volume and voice is loud and clear from the unit.

In my opinion, this GPS is well worth the price listed on Amazon.

Lane assist is the bomb

Customer Rating:
I love the lane assist feature on this unit when I'm in unfamiliar areas.

I have two main complaints of this unit. I wish the spoken voices were more clear. I find myself still having to look at the unit because I didn't understand what was said. This can be dangerous in high traffic conditions where you need to make split-second decisions.

My second issue is that the keyboard is too small when typing addresses. I'm sure this is just a matter of time before I adjust but it's definitely been a source of frustration for my wife who has much smaller hands and shouldn't have the same problems I have!
