Outstanding Piece of Equipment
 from Southern California,  Jun 5, 2007

I got it right before leaving on a 1350 mile driving vacation. It was intuitive enough so I could use it on the trip without even reading the manual. After returning home I looked over the manual to pick up fine points of operation. It is very clear and easy to read. The colors are bright. Different views of maps and directions are excellent. I received prompts well in advance of turns I had to make. Directions were repeated two to three times prior to making changes in directions. Directions were detailed enough to advise that when entering new highway to stay in the left lane and turn again in 500 ft., as an examle. I love using it.

Garmin 650 GPS
 from NY,  Jun 20, 2007

great product..Love it.. went on a 320 mile trip right after getting the GPS and I didn't have to worry about a thing.. love if I make a wrong turn or don't turn at all, almost immediately it will tell me as well as chart a new route immediately also love how I can find restaurants, parks, etc after putting in a specific town.. great thing to use to find different places to explore I explored websites and stores for the cheapest price for this item..overstocks was the cheapest until after I bought it found one site that is was cheaper but overall, I can't complain and it arrived when promised by overstock.com

great deal!
 from cape cod, massachusetts,  Oct 26, 2007

I researched GPS systems for the last 2 months and decided to spend a couple extra bucks and get the best! I love the ease of operation, clarity and size of the screen (4.3") and added features this model has. It is so accurate. I wear glasses for reading and do NOT need them for the GPS. I only wish I had bought it sooner! The overstock price saved me over $200! I love it!!

Garmin Nuvi 650
 from Titusville, FL,  Aug 10, 2007

Very easy to use. The bigger screen is also a plus when driving. It did take a day or two to get used to, but it is a FABULOUS product. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Garmin Nuvi 650
 from California,  May 25, 2008

I have a factory installed GPS unit in my Honda Accord. To me, the Nuvi is not as user friendly as the Honda unit. I am sure that part of the reason is my familiarity with the Honda system. However, I was familiar with the operation of GPS units when I got the Nuvi so it was easy to transition to the Nuvi.. It is a usable, reliable unit and it was rated number 2 when I searched the Consumer Reports online reviews. The Nuvi 750 was number 1. I am satisfied with it, but I will replace it in a couple years when improved units become available.

I used the system on holidays in the canadian rockies and it worked great. The only fault I found was the instructions did not give enough detail for this 0ld fella. Thanks

Great unit
Anonymous  from I live in New Jersey. I'm a fire fighter I'm 58,  Mar 28, 2008

EAsy to use out of the box. I have a factory unit in my Caddy STS I compared the routes on a trip, i liked the way the Garmin took me. I would like the Garmin to tell me the name of the street I'm on, the Caddy does that. The maps are large and easy to glance at. I wanted this unit because I have a classic car and a pick-up. I got the MP3 player in this unit for the classic car. I also purchased a second mount from the GPS store with a carry case to go from the pick up to the classic car . You need to purchase SD card for large amounts of music

Great Unit
 from Denver, CO,  Mar 26, 2008

Bought the Garmin Nuvi 650 because we travel a lot for business and pleasure. On our most recent trip from Denver to Houston the 650 performed GREAT!!! Easy to enter your destination, recalculates quickly if you go off track, hotel and restaurant features work well, trip calculator and other features make the unit outstanding. Especially like that the unit "talks" to you. For the price we paid at Overstock.com you can't beat this one. GET IT!!!

We are so pleased with our purchase of the Garmin Nuvi 650. This was our first time buying a GPS device and after reading the various reviews for this product, decided to get this one. The price was really good and we received it in just a few days. Overall we are quite pleased with how it operates and feel it's a good buy.

Fixed past problems
 from South Carolina,  Feb 19, 2008

I read a lot of lesser reviews and they seem to have fixed most of the problems I've read about or those people just didn't understand how to do what they wanted it to do. I can scan out and move the screen around to see the whole route. I can set one way point on the way to a destination though it's easier to do just one leg of the trip at a time. downside It likes big roads and does not like the smaller roads even though they may be faster. I have not figured out how to easily change a route when it tells me to go on one road but maybe I want to stay off the highway today. It always tells me to do a u turn or get back on route. I'll figure out a way to fix this but it may be more work than what I need since I usually know these areas better than it does. It worked great on long trips where I did not know where I was. It did try to send me on one off ramp that did not exist off the Blue ridge Parkway. It was a bridge over another road and I had to double back to get onto the road. Minor inconvinience. Overall a good gps. I'm getting another one for my vehicle since I gave this one to my wife.

Great GPS for the price
 from Charleston, WV,  Jan 30, 2008

This is a solid Gps unit that does everything it says it will do and it does it well. It has the larger screen but is thin enough to carry in your pocket. It has loads of features but not blue tooth for phones. Most people I know with the blue tooth say it does not work well on a Gps unit.

It doesn¿t get any better¿.
 from Roseville, CA,  Jan 28, 2008

Words cannot express how pleased I¿ve been with this product. Not only is it easy to set up (maybe 5 minutes max), it is intuitive to use ¿ don¿ need a manual. It acquires the satellites quickly and makes route adjustments faster than any other GPS I¿ve used. The features are great. Favorites are easy to set up and the ability to ¿find a place of interest¿ (i.e. elementary schools, restaurants, etc.) allows you to take off somewhere without even needing an address (for most public locations of course). The battery life is great ¿ charge it once a week and the screen is clear and bright.

Great Unit
 from Las Vegas, NV,  Jan 25, 2008

This unit has all the features I needed. Easy to use and so far has been very accurate, with mapping as current as one can expect in a city growing as fast as Las Vegas.

Questionable directions
 from Western NY,  Jan 23, 2008

This will be used all over the country as I travel for a living. I know I will never ever get lost while using this system, yet I may not be getting there the best and fastest way possable. Just using around my home town. I've found it gives me very questionable directions and certainly not the most direct. Im having a hard time proving the need and merits of this Garmin 650 to my wife when its sending me down back alleys and side streets when we know there is a direct route which is faster and less miles. Somewhat disappointing.

Very Satisfied
 from SE Louisiana,  Jan 22, 2008

If you are considering the purchase of a portable navagaition system look no further than the Garmin Nuvi 650. This GPS is everything and more it claims to be. I initially purchased the device for personal use. After significant review, I am considering purchasing three more units to place in the delivery vehicles of the company I work for.

1888.62 miles
 from Louisville, KY,  Jan 22, 2008

Out of box it took us from Louisville, Ky to the front door of our motel in Cocoa Beach, Fl. Exit for gasoline stop & it starts a RECALC before you get off the exit ramp. EZ to setup. Great for locating resturants & ect on the fly, including maps & phone numbers. Same for motels. I avg 62.7 MPH & it was always accurate. Would advise turns in 9/10 of a mile before arrival. Voice commands are very clear. Zipped thru Orlando and Atlanta.
