    Strengths: Very quick recalculation.

    Weaknesses:Does not show total miles left on trip.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a very good GPS,it is very user friendly in all respects and recalculates very quickly when you get off the directed route.So far no problems except that it only tells miles to your next turn and not the total miles left to go.Also a very nice feature is telling you your arrival time.

    Strengths: Clear and concise. Will get you to the promised land.

    Weaknesses:May take you in a different way than you might go, but it will take you there. It may take longer due to traffic, but it's effectiveThe suction cup mount sucks. I bought a dash sand bag instead. Suc

    Overall Evaluation: Excellent product. If you rent cars, some want to charge you $10 a day. (mostly because they get stolen by the renters) Consumers Report ranks it highly too. ciao!Tebaldi

    Strengths: Text to voice; accuracy

    Weaknesses:Window mount

    Overall Evaluation: I love this GPS. I've had two others and neither compared to this one. The accuracy is great, boot up is relatively quick, screen is extremely bright and the right size. User friendly touchscreen, logical and easy to navigate the menus. On a cool to warm day I sometimes find the GPS on the floor because the window mount lost its vacuum. A big step up on this unit compared to a previous Garmin is the text-to-speech feature. It is truly a safety feature that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. Outstanding for the price!

    Strengths: Strong GPS Signal. Turns on quick. Fast response & 'recalculate'. Good sound & Audio

    Weaknesses:Not sure if it speaks the street names & numbers. Input Keyboard is not standard keyboard.

    Overall Evaluation: Great product. Becareful with the windsheild holder. You have to LOCK it. or else it will fall off. I thought you just have to stick it...but after it fell about 5-7 times I figured out you have to lock the holloster to the windsheild or dash board. They input keyboard is not a standard computer keyboard, so somtimes it may take time to find the right letter or number. Overall very satisfied. GPS Signal is very strong and turns ok quickly. It froze once, but rebooted quickly. I guess its best to pull over before you try to input an address. Nice features: Change voice (i have a sexy british female). Add favorite locations. Play MP3s (SD Card). HOME link, one click to home destination. Does not come with CD-ROM or Case. NO Bluteooth or wi-fi or FM Transmitter. Who needs them, it has good sound quality.

    Strengths: Sexy Voice. Its a nice product, gets you from point A to point B in no time...Has nice 3d way to show you where you are and where you are headed.

    Weaknesses:Price is little expensive. But I got mines for $290. so it was very worth it, bestbuy is selling it for $600. No home charger or case. Not sure if USB charges the unit.

    Overall Evaluation: This unit is very nice. Its my first GPS. I'd Reccoment it because its easy to use, it tells you how far to go and repeats which lane to stay on and turn. It tells you the street names. Very easy to input address and it lists possible matches nicely. Voice is so sexy, you might want to wear a c0ndom before driving with this unit.
