Most Helpful Customer Reviews
I was very happy with this unit. I had upgraded to this unit from a old Garmin III. I was able to transfer all my waypoints to the Nuvi very smoothly. You are able to transfer points from Google Maps to this unit. The extra free stuff from Garmin (voices, icons, and more) really make their units great. It has a vibrant, easy to see display that automatically can switch to night mode is great. SD card reader, MP3 player, cell phone bluetooth, included FM transmitter are all usefull features included.
Some comments about how it functions:
Sometimes the menu's seem a little clunky (ie it takes a little looking to find the option to change from 3d map to 2d or to find my favorites) but this may just be me getting used to the new system.
If there is a menu that displays you elevation, I can't find it. Not critical but my old Garmin III would display current elevation.
The directions are pretty good. They even tell you which side of the street your exit ramp is on. I test drove it around my home town and although it doesn't always provide the shortest route it will get you there efficiently.
I would definatly recommend this unit to first time GPSers as well as expirenced ones.
