For the price, the best buy out there!!! :)
Nice bright screen, good graphics,and loud speaker tones
I think map detail, as with most GPS, could be more detailed

"Good entry-level GPS."
Very easy to use right out of the box. Great value at under $125
No USB cable included, many mini-USB cables do not work with unit. Garmin-made cables not available at most stores
