great gps, garmin offer free or discounted map updates if you show them the invoice for this gps.

awesome gps, grabbed mine for 107$ on e*ay refurbished. Ultra east to use and with the right "modifiactions" to the software can do read street names. Maps are ok

maps are kinda old, and thats not good considering i live i houston but what do u expect for the price

Buy a Garmin just not this one

 

DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT--it will endlessly frustrate you.

It was a cheaper model, and when it works, and you are driving on older roads, it doesn't miss. I learned quickly to follow it when in doubt

This is a discontinued item--a bigger issue than I thought. It contains old maps, it won't take you long to find streets that it doesn't know, so the cheap price vanishes because you have to purchase a $70 map immediately. Then it gets more...

GARMIN StreetPilot c530 3.5" GPS Navigation

 

Yes, as many others have said the maps are a little outdated. But if you see that you are in a construction zone you need to start looking for signs pointing you in the right direction for the turn you are looking for. Even if you were to get maps...

Has every feature you need in a GPS. Before I bought this I had used a friends TT unit for a week that cost more than double what I paid for this one. This one has everything that the more costly unit had with the exception of multiple voices to choose...

Paying for updated maps. Garmin should be ashamed for charging for updated maps. It wouldn't be so bad if it were only ten or twenty bucks ; But this is not enough in my opinion to lower the rating. The maps are still overall very accurate

I received the above in a couple of days after ordering. I have since worked with it in my car and it is really great. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase a GPS system for a reasonable price from a good supplier..
