 A great GPS at an even better price!! March 10, 2010
K. Jeff Mckay (Ferndale,WA)
It took us (driver and navigator) a few hours of "messing around" to figure out the operation of this GPS. The menu system is logical and intuitive and it seems like we just kept discovering more and more features. Overall a great value for the $$$$.
By the way I have a Garmin model 45 hand-held GPS on my boat. It still works like a champ after nearly 15 years of hard use and abuse. For me GPS is spelled "G-A-R-M-I-N".
 great product February 18, 2010

Ruth M. Thom (Portland, ME)

Great product February 17, 2010
Steven Hauver (CA)
I got this as my first GPS. It is easy to use and very accurate. My first one was stolen from my truck. I quickly got a replacement and was happy again. I can't be without one now. I had some more bad luck when my new one went through the wash cycle in my pants. I was heartbroken, but miraculously after drying for 2 weeks it came back to life just before I was going to buy another and has been working fine for 2 months. Get one.
Husband is happy with the Nuvi. February 12, 2010
Lost No More (Huntsville, Alabama)
I bought it for my husband, who is thrilled with it. It was easy to get started and is easy to use. I would recommend it.
