Reviews around feature (4.50 of 5)

  • but I think once we know how it works, we will like this feature
  • It also comes with some very nice unexpected features, like using landmarks for turns and automatically zooming in for the turn then back out again.
  • I definitely like the voice command feature, no more punching in addresses.
  • Unit works great I love the large display, it makes it so much easier to see and the split screen feature when coming to a off ramp or route change is especialy nice, glad I went with the updates option, keeps me current

Reviews around size (4.46 of 5)

  • This GPS stays in one car and doesn't get carried around so its size and weight aren't an issue for me.
  • I find that unfortunate given the size and experience of the Garmin company
  • The size of the screen is great but the performance of the device is mediocre.
  • I like the size and particularly the split screen at intersections
  • I like the size , as I am older and it is easier to see.

  • While not perfect, voice command was better than expected
  • Please Garmin, the voice command is laughable - LITERALLY
  • Also the voice command works quite well and is easier to master than that in our new Ford Explorer.

Reviews around lane (4.08 of 5)

  • But again, sometimes not, and I’d be in the wrong lane too late to get into the correct lane.
  • It splits the screen when showing exits off of freeways so you will be in the correct lane.
  • The large screen helps in seeing a lot of information at once such as lane assistance, speed limits, time to destination, current speed and of course your location and road map plus traffic warnings
  • The split screen telling you the correct lane to be in to exit is great, it really helps a lot.
  • When coming to an important exit it will automatically go into a split screen to make sure you are in the correct lane.

Reviews around device (4.00 of 5)

  • [updated note][After contacting the company again I was told that because I was using a 'multicharger device' that plugged into the cigarette lighter, it was likely that the other devices were interfering with the nuvi
  • but I use it in my personal vehicle and absolutely love this device.
  • Funny as no other device I own suffers from this connectivity issue
  • This device is easy to learn to use and is easy to see.

Reviews around route (3.78 of 5)

  • Excellent GPS with excellent tragic alerts, alternate routes, graphics and apps
  • When it was working, it would take me the longest routes possible, I had it set properly to fastest route, on the way home from the 700+ mile road
  • I found the Garmin did excellent inside the city, but cross country it will direct you on the shortest but not always the best route.
  • Beware, the routes that the software suggests can be awful and waste time!
  • The only time I have got lost since I began using this system is when I thought new where I was going and ignored the directions ended up lost as the route I normally took was under construction requiring rerouting back to where the GPS had told me to go in the first place.

  • This thing is HUGE (usually that's not a bad thing, but it blocked my view out of my front windshield.

  • its a really good navigation the only thing the battery it has to stay
  • i should have read the reviews, this stupid thing can't find a known address in my city

Reviews around doe (2.14 of 5)

  • This item is missing the english voice function for finding location , also it does not have the traffic function as advertised.
  • To be fair, this does make it easier to hit the desired target on the touchscreen with your fingertip.
  • we really miss most is a plain clock, since our unit sits in front of the clock in the car (the only place it can be placed).It does well what it's intended to do
  • then this one, someone at Garmin is not on the ball, takes me on wrong turns and some addresses are not there, even voice command does not bring up the correct addressbut easy to read screen, NO instructions manual included, suction mount very good, good long cig lighter cable, fast touch screen, mounted on center consul, strong sat signal,do not use amazon store credit card deferred payment plan, its a con game with the bank
  • But what good does it do to plot a course with Voice Recognition if you have to go through a series of 15mph speed traps
