Customer Reviews
We love it - it's easy to use & the price was right. This could save a marriage.
This GPS system is great. It is small enough to put in my purse or glove box when not in use but large enough to clearly see the maps and directions.. The voice system gives you plenty of warning and the on screen info even shows what the speed limit is on t he street you are driving on. Great thing to have in a car even if you dont travel much. It doesnt always direct you the shortest way but if you have no idea where you are going it is wonderful.
I came Atlanta for school and it has been a lifesaver for navigating the city. It was easy to use and and it is very specific with it's directions. You are warned well in advance when you need to turn or take an exit and it tells you exactly when you are coming up on the street you need. I would have liked the more expensive models with lane assist, but this has been sufficient to get me around. It has also been great in instances where I haven't been able to get over to take an exit, it re-routes you into the next best route. I would have been lost every time I went out without it!
I have a couple of friends that have GPS and I spend a lot of time on the road. When I say the price I decided to get this Garmen GPS for myself and Christmas presents. I have not got to use it as much as I would like yet but seems to have all the features I need. Now I just need to figure out how to use it on my motor cycle.
