Very buggy unit Jun 5, 2010

1/5.0

Pros:

Nice to be able to look up addresses

It will go stupid on you; get ready to spend hours with garmin support

Fabulous..... when it works May 2, 2010

2/5.0

Pros:

Great features. Accurate traffic. Access to information regarding gas stations, retaurants, etc is wonderful.

Cons:

Expect it to last 6-12 months. Expensive device when you look at it that way.

Review: I do not like buying things that simply do not last.... I can not recommend this.

Great gadget for early adopters, Issues Exist Feb 7, 2010

4/5.0

Pros:

Nulink, Traffic, Screen

Cons:

Lack of accessories, price, buggy firmware

Review: Dont listen to complaints about ads unless you are hyper sensitive. If you want cutting edge technology, this is it.

POP-UP ADVERTISING ON YOUR GPS SCREEN? Dec 3, 2009

1/5.0

Pros:

Build quality is excellent. Audio is excellent. Speed and accuracy are better than average.

Cons:

Pop-Up forced ads from Wal-Mart and Puma, etc are just so annoying.

Review: Avoid it until Garmin stops the forced pop-up ad content.
