The website is little harder for some generations to navigate to find tech support.
Battery dead when I received the unit charged the battery turned off unit two days later battery dead note did not use tech support
Even now after it has been explained fully by Garmin's excellent tech support, I find myself making the same mistake - because the procedure is not user friendly.
Disappointment:--I really wanted a male British voice for it, but tech support only directed me to the setting for British spelling--there's no British voice, apparently.
Tech support was able to reproduce the error with their own test unit and are working on a fix

To download a Garmin map into the unit, one must use of a free app called Garmin Express
It is far easier to use and more reliably than smart phone apps
These carelessly designed "new" units are part of the reason that everyone is giving up dedicated GPS and using their cell phone guidance apps instead.
There are enough free apps that are actually superior to this GPS -- this will be the last GPS that I buy...

The size of the screen and the simple operation make it a winner
Nice size, accurate.
The screen is a good size and mostly non glare, which I appreciated

I will never buy another Garmin GPS until this company vastly improves their maps, their touchscreens, their batteries, their operating systems, their voice command recognition software, their tiresome update procedures
My final solution is to use free offline maps from Google on the iPad I already own, even though I was willing to buy a dedicated device from you
It has decent maps for the car and you can load extra map chips into the unit to cover most of Europe
So user interface is horrible, mapping is horrible
We had a really old Garmin from long ago and decided to update since this comes with unlimited maps

In conclusion, this unit should be more capable and user-friendly at this price
Since both units I bought have this problem I suspect it is a systemic hardware fault
Defective unit was shipped back and received replacement unit
This unit worked exceptionally well for 8 days while connected blue tooth to my IPhone going from Delaware to Florida, but died on the trip half way back coming back from Florida
I'm buying a TomTom and giving this to someone who can't afford a GPS unit.

For several weeks, I couldn't figure out why my battery was dead or near-dead every time I turned the unit on
The batteries in Amazon have bad reviews, so I went to a good battery source for batteries.
On the first use(left charging overnight) it alerted battery is dead.
Garmin has always had a problem with poor battery life but this is the first time I've gotten a new unit that doesn't work at all (this would have been my fourth Garmin device)
maybe Garmin just sources the cheapest junk batteries it can find.

Had to return the first unit because after charging overnight it would not hold the charge and drained away to nothing after sitting on my desk for an hour (in standby mode).
The unit will not turn on if I have it plugged into my PC to keep the anemic battery charged while I enter points into favorites
Bought the GPS to use in Canada and after using it for 4 days we noticed it would not hold a charge and then completely died and would not charge no matter what we used.
The user-interface and nav features are nice but it almost isn't worth it because of how bad the battery life is and how it's impossible to navigate while charging from the mini-USB port.

I almost slammed no brakes thinking I was going wrong way towards oncoming traffic
Also "wrong way" warning voice going thru a roundabout in the proper direction.
Twice it alerted me that I was going the wrong way on a street
Once in a while it will send you in a weird way to get where you want to go but every GPS I ever owned has done the same thing.
Six years ago a major road was converted from two-way to one-way Garmin directed me to turn the wrong way down the one way street

So, this particular failure of the QA team at Garmin translates into a loss of a customer, lost revenue and hurts your brand

Garmin is almost useless on Vermont Route 15, and places like owls head lane in Stowe (which it thinks is on main street)
It missed the first two places I went
This GPS stops me in the wrong place all the time.
