 It gets you there! November 22, 2008
Michelle P. Hansotte (S.C.)
I love this unit and am so happy they are thinking about the female population and having 'colors'! This is our fifth Garmin unit (we have the marine versions also) and as usual it is very user friendly. All of our other units are black-so seeing a color choice made me happy. I have an older Streetpilot and can't believe how much smaller and lighter this unit is. Also it was much easier to set up- 'right out of the box'. The older versions needed to have the maps/charts downloaded to the unit itself or a 'data card'. Even updating the software was a breeze. Operating the unit itself is simple. And it gets you there! Would highly recommend.

I travel extensively and thought this would be a good purchase. When the unit was received it would display a message stating that I should update the maps. Why is Amazon shipping GPS units with outdated maps? The essence of a GPS is how accurate the roads are. I am very disappointed.
My first GPS November 17, 2008
Y. C. Cheah (Malaysia)
I use GPS oftenly, mostly from rental car - from the early phone type with operator assist, the Megellan unit comes with most Hertz, and Garmin GPS from Alamo/National. I find Garmin GPS is the most user friendly GPS. I brought the unit I purchase to Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon. And now I am back in Malaysia and I travel to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. I also got a Australia map for my 2009/5 trip to Melbourne -> Gold Coast.
What I like:
1. Touch Screen
2. Abundance of Maps
3. Easy to use - I never read the manual
What I don't like:
1. No qwerty keyboard like input
2. Locating the satellite can take up to 5-10 minutes half of the time.
 Good GPS November 16, 2008

Plus: I had a garmin C330 which got stolen and hence decided to buy a GPS. This is exactly a Garmin C330 packaged in a more compact and sleek case. I was happy with the C330, hence am happy with this also.
Minus: The device takes a lil longer than I would like to startup and load maps - which is not a big deal, its a one time thing.
My old c330 used to take a really long time to "acquire satellites", and this one seems to have exactly the same problem. It takes a nice 10 to 15 minutes to "acquire" satellites (in open space) - its might be something to do with some area affinity of the gps because in some places it acquires really fast.
Overall I think its a good device worth the money.

I have a new gadget that has turned into a tool. I was running late because of traffic. I called the friends I was to meet and met them at the church. I had never been to the place before, punched in the name of the church, and was there with out a hitch. At that point the money I spent on the gadget was well worth it. I have purchased a second for my daughter. I think this is a great product.
