A very good product, that's my opinion.Everything about products are about expectations.After walking through the manual and trying to figure the setup I was very impressed.1- Ease of operation2- Going back to previous locations3- Saving address to what I call the address book.

I purchased this to replace my trusty Nuvi 360 for the lifetime map updates and traffic info. Compared to the Nuvi, it feels cheaply made and a little fragile but will probably be OK. To display traffic information, it has to be paired with my iPhone via Garmin's SmartLink app.

This is faster than my older model Garmin. It has Bluetooth. When paired with my cell phone, I can use it as a speaker/microphone inside the car. Apparently, it can receive text and traffic info from the phone also. I haven't tried the latter feature. I can recommend this.

Works beautifully. An unexpected surprise: Warns you of impending change in speed limit up ahead.

If you need a GPS get one of this. You wont regret it.
