5 Stars garmin GPS reveiw

5 Stars Excellent GPS
I was so impressed with it that I bought one for my sisters birthday. She loves it too.

5 Stars I love this GPS
I find this product to be incredibly easy to use. Unlike my old tom-tom it has excellent satellite reception and takes me to my destinations accurately. I especially like the feature that tells the user which side of the street the destination will be on. Overall I would say this is an excellent GPS for the price and I highly recommend it!

5 Stars Very pleased
Well since it was for my wife it had to be easy to use or I’d get complaints. The menus system never leaves you uncertain of where to go next…no getting lost on the screens. Almost bot a TomTom but didn’t think the menu was quite as good while trying it in stores. I could be wrong. The audio is plenty loud and usually clear. I only tried one voice. Maybe there are more? Found it does two thing well. Navigates to locations AND if you just display the map without inputing where to go…it provides a fantastic situational awareness of where you are, showing the upcoming streets, side streets etc. While actually navigating, if you miss a turn or opt for a different way, it simply recalculates the remaining trip. Takes about 5 seconds. Never suggested a u turn. At first start up it took maybe 5 minutes to find itself. Every other time it locks on in just seconds. Keyboard is not qwery due to the size. 4.5 inch model has the optional keyboard. That’s my only not complaint but a request to Garmin…even if the keyboard had to be smaller to fit the 3.5 in screen. Letters displayed as abcdefg are harder to find than a typewriter type display. If it is plugged into the car and you pull the power or turn off the car it will auto shut off when it detects the power loss. It gives you a choice to allow the shut down or overide and continue ON using battery power. A lot of write ups said the 260 didn’t have this feature but mine does. Bought it from Amazon Oct 2008. I paid $200. The best price anywhere Best Buy wanted [...] with a rebate. As everybody says, units that anounce the street names is the only way to go. You might not even look at the unit, just listen. Wife wouldn’t take the 5 minutes to learn the unit. After two weeks finaly did. Now loves it.

5 Stars Do Not Leave Home Without IT !!!!!!!
This has got to be the best device that I have ever purchased…..I travel extensively and I never leave without my friend GARMIN……Once you purchase one you will understand…..Nothing is worse than being in another State in a strange City and have no CLUE as to how to get to your destination…..I have never been lost since I got this unit….Also you do not have to worry about all of those pesky paper maps…..

You will be totally satisfied with this purchase.
