I am very pleased with this product, which has facilitated a lot to me and a lot of travel
I am the first time GPS user. This model is very intutive, hardly needed the user manual. This has lots of nice features and they worked well for the first time. There are few issues I have noticed.
1. The satellite map acquire time is noticeable. Infact when I was in NY city it lost the satellite in the street until I hit the intersection. This may be due to tall buildings obstructing the sat path.
2. After setting my NJ home location and asked the GPS to map route from NY city to home, it did setup the route. But when I came out of the Holland tunnel it kept on calculating the route even though I was on NJ I95 and kept telling me to take one of the immediate exits.
One thing I failed to see in the GPS options is choices of setting up routes like the google provides; shortest path route, fastest path route, avoid toll roads, avoid highways and others.
3. The standby time for the battery power(when powered down) appears to be low. The GPS was fully charged and kept over night. It had lost couple of green bars the next day, this is bad.
It's a great product, however the list of compatible Verizon phones is limited. My phone will connect, receive and dial, but no audio going in or coming out...? I may have to contact Garmin to see if I'm doing something wrong... The update worked fine, but took quite awhile, so make sure you have a chunk of time to invest. Happy with purchase. Amazon was the cheapest at the time.
