Buyer's feedback: - * Garmin GPS ...
I picked the Garmin because my son was enthused about his. Got a refurbished unit (being cheap)and am delighted with it. At a good price, it is a faithful friend to have in the car even if used only occasionally. Nice to not have to pay monthly fees as in the past. I even bought my other son one for Christmas. Some minor problems with software directions (rare), but that is what upgrades and new software installations provide. I am happy with what I have for the price I paid.

Buyer's feedback: - This GPS System is Great!!
I love this GPS unit. I have traveled thousands of miles with this GPS in my car and I haven't gotten lost yet. However, I must say since it is a slightly older model, you would want to update the maps. Since there's always new construction many places aren't in the sytem like if your looking for a restaurant. The only other thing is sometimes I am suppose to go right but it tells me to go left.. that was for a state park. The sign for the park was on the right side of the road and the GPS said the park was on the right but it was actually on the left. Anyway this GPS system is easy to use and makes for quick and easy navigation in unknown territory!

Buyer's feedback: - Pretty good for the price
I bought this piece 6 months back for $165. presently available for $125 !, cant get better for this price.
the packaging is as good as new, i did not see any signs of it being a refurbished item.
takes just close to 10-15 seconds to catch the signal in the city. automatic route recalculation works satisfactorily. screen is good, with useful details. battery life is pretty good, lasts at least 90 minutes.
no problems faced so far. its not sleek as the new ones in the market, but u arent paying $250 either.
Only complaints cud be that the map and POI is a little old (hav to expect frm a refurb piece?) probably from 2006. U can download and load custom POIs that are available in internet User forums.
Overall: A safe, simple, cheap, worthy buy.
