This is a nice unit, that you can use as a hand-held as well as auto use. I like that. The software loaded nicely. The audio is loud and clear. Not much choice of voices, etc....but that's ok. We've taken it out a few times, and it seems to work well. But it has a strange quirk - when you're charging, there is no display. The unit is still working, and giving audio directions....but no picture. As soon as you unplug, it's all back, though.

Works as expected. It's an older unit but has an internal issue with USB connectivity(not able to update) but it turns on, knows where it is and will work for general navigation.

Bought this used - Was able to register it - Load new Maps on it (added a 32m card). Love the features of this one - now own 2 of these. Only issues I have with these is the suction cup is not good - seems to fall off way to often so keep it close to your dash so it does not fall far. Like to get a better clip for these.

This is a great unit. As an owner of a driving school we use them exclusively. I've bought 6 so far. This is essentially the same as the Nuvi 50LM, but smaller. The 50LM is actually a better value and easier to use due to its screen size, but I bought this one because the 5 inch models don't quite fit within the my center console of my wife's car, which is where I like it for her purposes. I don't recommend the LMT models, because the traffic is usually old and useless anyway. It's 2014... If you need traffic, then the GPS in your smartphone will provide more accurate traffic. (Although the Garmin is still much easier to use.) My message to Garmin: If you don't start being a company that makes "the best navigation app for smartphones," you're going to go out of business in 5-7 years. The opportunity is there, because smart phones are still usually too small and cumbersome to type into, and most people don't have a good way to dock them in their cars.Read full review
I have had a Garmin Nuvi GPS for years, but for less than the cost of a map update, I was able to buy this new Nuvi. It is so much better than my old Nuvi. It includes more streets, and even has altitude/elevation, which I enjoy. One downside for me...and it is a small one...is the voice that gives instructions. It is cold and almost annoying!! The other improvement I would like to see is being able to get directions to just a town, rather than requiring an exact address. Mapquest gives directions from town to town without requiring exact addresses. I wish Garmin would do the same.
