Good Overall Performance at a Reasonable Price October 28, 2008

After much research on the web, including reading Amazon reviews, I opted for this unit against other contenders from Tom Tom and Navman. I have so far been extremely happy with it. I haven't experienced any slow start-ups as some have reported. Bluetooth works perfectly with a range of phones (probably because it's Parrot based). There is good support from Garmin and updating via the web is a breeze. You can also find things like free POI files on the web. The range of features is impressive, although the map isn't current with a local section of the A428 that has been turned into a dual-carriageway in the last year or two. It's useful to know that the unit comes with a protetcive case, the power-cable/traffic aerial, a windscreen swivel suction mount and a dashboard disc. The "People who bought this bought it with..." can be misleading - I ended up buying a case I didn't need. The only problem I have with the unit is when trying to "Call Home". It truncates the telephone number. Garmin tech support are investigating and have offered to replace the unit. It's a minor inconvenience as the unit supports voice dialling with my Blackberry Pearl perfectly. The FM Transmitter is a great feature, but isn't 100% reliable. As you move to different parts of the country, you may have to re-tune it. It's also often hissy and rarely perfect, but the internal speaker is adequate. All in all, I'm very happy with it. Note that whilst Garmin will sell you European map coverage for 60, it can be bought online at other vendors for around 29.99 and just downloaded into the unit (no memory card required).
VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER, GOOD BUY October 24, 2008

I decided as i passed my test and i am a young person, i need a SatNav that will take me anywere and if there is traffic i would need to get out of it, also i like my gadgets so anything with extra things in it is a plus for me, and i have to say for a first sat nav i am not dissapointed!
i was stuck in a huge line of traffic going to my friends house and i turned off one road and it calculated the alternate route soo quickly i didn't have time to turn my signal off from entering the road, the picture and the screen is good, the bluetooth works well with my phone even though my Nokia N82 isn't on the list, they also said that it doesn't work on pedestrian mode, but when i turned it on and looked through it, it was there bright as day light which was a nice little plus, overall i think this product is well worth it, the price is a little higher than some others but is a very good and practical SatNav for driving with! 9/10
GOOD BUY!!
Excellent, does what it says on the tin September 3, 2008

After struggling with a Tomtom 530T, the Garmin is an eye opener!! None of the bells and whistles of the Tomtom but it works. The maps are up to date, the bluetooth works perfectly and it doesn't crash. The traffic receiver is very useful and fast to download info.
Overall, a simple but effective satnav with accurate maps, lacking the features of the Tomtom, but unlike the Tomtom it actually works.
 Good buy August 12, 2008

This Sat Nav works fine and takes me where I need. Sometime slow on the satelite pick up on start up, but apart from that it does what you pay for. A recommendable buy
WORKS WELL July 9, 2008

At last, after a year of irritation from my navman, a satnav that does what it claims. Starts up quickly, and the auto start/stop when you put it on/off the cradle is a bonus. Traffic programme works well, with good reception, and can show hold ups even without a route programmed in. Bluetooth actually works with my phone. Only quirk is that when entering a postcode, the uk is subdivided into england wales and scotland. Once I realised I had to choose wales to enter a Cardiff postcode all was well!!! Otherwise Ive had no problems, and I find the restriction of uk mapping only on this model a bonus
