nice machine July 29, 2010 Jian Zhen (Santa Barbara) this is a nice machine, easy to use, works very well, only the start time is a little bit too slow
Cheap price at a cost to performance. July 25, 2010 Edward M. Goodwin (Forest Park, IL United States) I tried this out in my neighborhood. I pulled up the local grocery store using the points of interest feature. It incorrectly identified "arriving at location on right" when it was on the left. It also had me on the major street to the North of the actual street I was on.
I had other Garmins that announced the street names. So you get instructions like: "turn right then right". The map doesn't show the upcoming second right so it gets confusing where you are suppose to turn. I big disadvantage if you are not familiar with the area. Annouces upcoming turns in too short of time and you have to keep your eyes on the map instead of the road.
Doesn't come with A/C charger like some of the other models. Would be nice to charge at home or hotel room if using pedestrian mode. In summary, you get what you pay for.
This is a Great Machine!!! July 23, 2010 David B. Hayward I bought this to use on business trips which take me to locales with which I am totally unfamiliar
On a recent trip through southern Ohio, in a very rural area, the road I was on ended and there were no detour signs.
I made a right turn and followed the voice for about 15-20 minutes. It brought me right back to the road, to a point at which I could continue to my destination. The screen is easy to see, the voice is easy to hear, addresses are easy to program and I am completely satisfied with this device which cost under $100. I have never used GPS before so I am unfamiliar with the various features that may be available on higher priced boxes. If you want to get from point "A" to point "B" and even see what attractions there are along the way (food, fuel,etc.) I highly recommend this little device. It is wonderful!
Nice for the Price! July 20, 2010 JerryFla (Orlando, FL United States) Just got this refurb unit from Amazon. Looks new, includes mount, dc power cord. This is probably the 8th GPS receiver I have owned.
So far, so good! The smaller diameter suction mount means you have more placement options. The icon for your current location shows direction of travel (or last travel) instead of just a circle.
Very intuitive operation. Voice directions are not quite as crisp as some others I've owned. Screen is bright and clear, accuracy and directions seem fine. Keyboard screen is much better than average.
JUST WONDEFUL!!! July 20, 2010 E. P. Loeber (Bogota, Colombia) I GAVE THIS TO MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE IS HAVING A BLAST. NOW WE GO EVERYWHERE WITH GARMIN. MAPS ARE GREAT AND INFO TOO. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!! EVEN HERE IN SOUTH AMERICA IT WORKS LIKE A SWISS CLOCK !!!!
