Re-calculates route quickly... wish it showed POI along your route as you're driving. Very helpful web site. Has some neat features using the Net. We use this as well as TomTom, together they give me what I want.

While I have not had occasion to use this GPS often, when I have needed to use it, it has been very impressive. It is accurate, and if the driver misses a turn, it re-plots the course nearly instantly. I would not hesitate to buy this device again.

I recommend this product because it performs excellently. I reviewed many other units before I purchased the Garmin and it has met all my expectations.
The only issue was loading the new 2010 North American map updates. It was a huge file and took over 7 hours to complete.

Ive had it for 6 months now and for the price i thought it was good deal. When i got mine i couldn't even tell it was refurb. It does what i need it to. It shows me the road, tells me how fast im going, ETC, and you can even input your average economy so it can tell you how much gas you'll pay for the trip. I thought that was neat.I love it.

I went to Salem with a friend and she used Garmin to get us their. I was so impressed that I had to have one. Now I go nowhere without it. I would recommend it because it's the best! It far surpasses any in the cars I have been in including the one I drive, an Infinity G35 with Nav.
