Perfect device to get where you need to go - safer than trying to use a cellphone GPS while you drive.
 Disappointed March 4, 2010

I bought this for my daughter. I have a Magellan and I found this GPS difficult to use. Worse is the fact that it lost satellite several times so I was stuck. I don't think it's user friendly. When I gave it to my daughter who is far more tech savvy, she said the same thing. Don't buy this model!

The product did not arrive as expected but when I contacted the seller they tracked the item and noted an issue with the shipper. The seller immediately shipped a replacement over night and provided me with my order. They then tracked the shipper and worked to recover the missing original order but made all efforts to insure I had my ordered product. This was great customer focus and I would definitely order from them again.
Awesome GPS! March 3, 2010

Really helps if you miss your street/exit. It'll reroute you to the right direction. Took me to one of my destinations in a longer/different way, but it gets you there!!
 Almost got us killed, added 2 hours to trip. March 2, 2010

I used the Garmin for the first time last weekend for a trip from Knoxville to Asheville--a trip I make several times a year. It was a test run for the Garmin. On the way over when we got to Hot Springs it wanted us to turn right. I went left anyway through Marshall--it's not a bad road, fairly straight and well kept and will get you to Asheville in about 45 minutes. On the way back from Asheville, I took the turn the Garmin told me to take onto Leicester Highway. We were about half way up this curvy mountain when I started to realize this was not a shorter way to the Marshall route. The Garmin took us over two mountains (the snow has not melted there yet) with some of the windiest roads I've done in a while. Then as we finally approached Hot Springs (wouldn't have known but there was a road sign.) It wanted us to turn left away from Hot Springs and go over Max Patch (a 4200 foot mountain with a gravel road that goes down the other side completely covered with snow.) We would never have made it, but we turned back and found our own way back to Hot Springs and then used the usual route home.
The Garmin route added 1 1/2 hours to the 2 1/2 hour trip because we could only go 10-15 mile per hour up the mountain road it sent us up. Do not trust this machine, if I could return it I would, but I got it from [...] through Amazon and I am a couple of days past the point where I can send it back. I am really upset with this machine.
