Very pleased

 

Came with everything I needed to get started in the box and is really easy to input destinations. It's really fast at calculating routes, and the instructions easy to understand.

you can get started straight away

voice control would have been nice

Consumer review by:

never get lost again

 

After buying the Garmin 245 I have used it in various locations and have had a more relaxed driving experience knowing that I have directional support to my destination.As a further benefit my M.P.G.has increased and I treat this as an added bonus.

Some very irritating snags

 

Works fine BUT the oral instructions are not sufficiently clear - eg "Turn right" may come too early or too late and has caused me to go round in circles several times.

1) The outside of the box says it's a Nuvi 245WT, but the sat nav itself just says 245W, have I got the wrong one?
