Thoughtful Mother's Day Gift

Date:May 11, 2013
"Over the years, this 81 year old great grandmother earned the reputation of always "taking the scenic route". (translation .getting lost). Since I was given the Garmin, I find my way with no problems, even when I take wrong turns, it just "recalculates". I have used it both driving and walking all over Canada. It adjusts easily for any area and the maps are right on. Love it."

Love Nuvi!

"Just recently got this GPS system (used) from my Dad for my new car. It may be older, but it works wonderfully. I love that I can look up restaurants/shopping centres around wherever I may be."

Quality, but with flaws

Date:August 27, 2012
"The product performs adequately, the grammar of basic words is flawed. "Dunlop" is pronounced "DUNlop", not dunLOP as the product does. There are many such errors. It surprises me as this is not the first Garmin GPS I've owned and the first one did not have this flaw."

Not what I expected

Date:August 11, 2012
"Bought it on sale and returned it two days later. After charging the unit I entered my Home location and 10 different locations on a road trip that I will soon be taking. When I checked them the next day, all were gone from my Favourites List. The device ignored my setting changes when I adjusted the Volume and Brightness settings. It also kept taking me back to the three different 'Garmin' offices around the world. I probably got a defective unit. I returned it with no problem from Canadian Tire. My first experience with a GPS unit was very frustrating to say the least."

Awesome GPS Unit

Date:June 19, 2012
"I picked up this unit on sale and couldn't be happier. It works exactly like its supposed to - quite easy to learn and very easy to download the software for updating the maps. We used it on a long road trip and it never steered us wrong. It worked great setting destinations on the fly as well. The 5" screen is very easy to read and is nice and bright even in the middle of the day. The only drawback is the rechargeable battery doesn't hold a charge for much more than an hour or so, so make sure you have the cigarette lighter adapter on hand on your road trips. Otherwise, this is a fantastic little unit!"
