Great GPS for little money.

 

Easy to use. It found my daughter's house up in mountains with no problem. Easy to update software on line and you can use camera data cable. Went to Asheville NC and would have been lost a lot except for the Nuvi. Love this GPS

Doesn't work

 

I ordered this unit b/c it had great reviews and the price was very reasonable.....BUT it didn't work. After 2 days, it either wouldn't turn on, freeze or turn off on it's own after about 2 minutes. I was told it was a firmware issue that could be...

Changed my Life!

 

I went from someone who got lost frequently to a confident driver. Plus it saves me time and printer ink not having to go to MapQuest all the time. Even if I get turned around on my way somewhere it recalculates and still gets me where I need to go. ...
