We traveled 2000 miles round trip and never got lost using our GPS. We researched which type of GPS to purchase and liked everything we read about Garmin. I especially liked the larger 4.3-inch screen and it was most helpful hearing the street names for where we were to turn. We also found restaurants and hotels using the GPS. It was not only helpful, but fun. We purchased our Garmin GPS just prior to leaving on vacation. We traveled 2000 miles round trip and never got lost using our GPS.

My only tiny complaint is that at 90-100% volume, the back plastic shell vibrates a little, making the sound a little harsh. It is not the speaker distortion, but the speaker is actually so loud that it vibrates the plastic shell. 80% volume is perfect, even driving on freeway with radio on. Satellite aquistion is fast, voice (American Samantha-TTS) sounds clear, not tinny or compressed), screen is plenty bright, menus are intuitive, touch screen is perfect sensitivity, updating software and adding new vehicles via Garmin website was a breeze, maps and navigation are accurate, map panning is quick and smooth. I have not tested the bluetooth, I just use speakerphone feature on my cellphone. Very happy with my purchase. This unit does everything it’s supposed to.
