    Garmin Nuvi 57LM GPS Navigator System with Spoken Turn-By-Turn Directions,5 inch display, Lifetime Map Updates, Direct Access, and Speed Limit Displays

    • I have gotten directions on this GPS that are just crazy - directions that took me either out of the way or onto obscure roads instead of major thoroughfares.
    • I also like the fact it gets me out of large, confusing parking lots and get me on the right road
    • I found myself on dark secluded roads late at
    • So far she has tried to use it about four times and every time she uses it the device is constantly telling her to exit interstate routes, take back roads and simply waste her time.
    • Im always taking crazy roads and it still knows how to get my crazy tail home
    • It guided me on unfamiliar roads like a champ, changed route when I changed direction & only lost signal once when I was literally in a long underground tunnel, resumed right back up when the tunnel ended.
    • Texas' toll road systems have exploded
    • Worst is its TERRIBLE map program: many missing roads; cross-streets shown to left but not to the right; some crossroads that show if you're travelling east but not west; missing roads into residential neighborhoods (not just the entrance road but ALL the roads in the subivision); an exit to Kingwood Rd. which has a little blue "H" sign for a hospital spoken as "Exit Hospital on the right
    • I had no such problem, the battery works as it should and lasts a very long time (haven't tested it to see exactly how long, one of these days I will try just to see), although obviously if you're going on a long trip it's probably better to just keep it plugged in if you can
    • I dont really need the traffic notification, but having the map pulled up and encountering a problem, does afford an on-the-fly alternative route option to go around it.
    • Time will tell if its as great as I think after only using it once..
    • Further, the device does not update your current location on the map as fast as it should be, which gives a chance for missing a turn or an exit
    • My elderly aunt wanted this brand, and it is NOT user friendly, doesn't offer bypass routes, and simply didn't work as it said
    • The traffic info came i handy as it would let you know if there was an accident or roadwork ahead causing delays.
    • Worked as it should have
