Customer Reviews :
Researched all sat navs and this Garmin seemed the best.
Generally good all round
Excellent price.
Easy to setup.
Followed instructions carefully and downloaded initial Garmin software as can only register online. Unfortunately none of the reviews mentioned that you needed an up to date PC. My oldish PC would not download NET which apparently is essential in order to even register the thing let alone update the maps which were out of date already.
Very disappointed that Garmin do not publicise the need for a new PC to even register their products.
Used this machine for the first time on a trip to see family, worked perfect, easy to use.
My previous sat nav was a TomTom. I was looking for a replacement with more user friendly support software at a reasonable price and this product is ideal.
So easy to setup, we have two, one for me and one for my wife and it’s so easy to update and manage multiple devices.
It has lane guidance for junctions and gives clear instructions about upcoming turns.
Only slight negative I’ve found is the default size of the screen map display which is a bit small for my liking but there is a plus/minus button at the side of the screen,I find increasing the size by a single push on the plus does the job.
An address programmed in to one device can be shared with the second device, no need to program the address in to both separately.
Wish I had one ages ago. Far superior to my older other make.
This was a replacement for my previous Garmin.
This updated version was much simpler to use.
Easy to use and has been accurate, so no complaints.
