Review: Works well-be sure to set up properly before using - Great product, gift from my dad before a European road trip. Advice with the benefit of hindsight: Do a map update before using Do your settings before using Not doing so led to it routing me on a ferry across a Swiss lake - only it was 11:30pm, there were no ferries and I ended up with a 2hr drive retracing steps to then take an alternate more sensible route. Forgot to reset “ferry” option after driving from UK-Italy this summer, then ended up with it again routing me across Lake Maggiore by ferry. Fortunately this time ferry was running, but the ETA was out by an hour & journey much slower & more expensive than an alternate driving route would be.
Review: Brilliant once you get over the hurdles. - Once you get to grips with this, it's a nice piece of kit for the price. Lifetime updates, traffic info (via your phone ap, free) and hands-free calls and texts. Also voice activation for the Satnav, which is pretty nifty as long as you've switched off your radio! But there are pitfalls along the way and, as along-term Garmin user, I feel there should be much better troubleshooting info along the way. Instead you have to find your way through it yourself. This led to me returning one and probably to some of the negative reviews on here. Issue 1 - Garmin appears dead/poor battery life - despite charging the unit up on a long drive it can die or appear dead when you first try to update or just after. The root of this is, unlike previous models, there is a sleep by just pressing the off button. It appears this is more like a 'gently dozing button', because your power will soon go out the window. Far better to hold the on/off button in for 5 seconds and then it will ask you if you want to switch off Issue 2 - Update problems - there was a thing that 'you must restart your Garmin after updating if it doesn't happen automatically'. This seems to cause no end of problems and rarely works. I couldn't transfer my old favourites and the advice from Garmin was far too complicated (going into files by PC). I thought I had it fully updated when we went away early June, but now I think it's just finished previous updates, as well as the new one I did yesterday - I note the restart nonsense is no longer necessary and it just happens - thank the lord. I could probably transfer favourites now but I've already re-entered everything. Issue 3 - jams up. Really tricky and once again no advice from Garmin. After one of the aforementioned updates it just remained on the plug-in screen to PC whatever you did or whatever you connected it to - just a screen picture of a PC and USB cable! By going online and finding a review a a Garmin fitness device I was able to see that the common solution for everything Garmin is to hold in the on/off button for 10-15 seconds, which has the effect like re-starting a jammed PC used to be. So 4 stars for the excellent device if you get through the minefield. Would have been 5 if me, and every other buyer, had the information above given to us on purchase!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement SatNav
*by A***N on 12 June 2019*

We've used Garmin and TomTom for years now. Happy with the purchase as we knew what we were buying and as a gift to replace an old model for a daughter. Mostly 5 stars - but Garmin mapping occasionally decides on a funky route so local knowledge can be a bonus. Tried to take us up a mountain in Germany which we knew was not going to happen. However, software is only as good as the data that is provided. Excellent voice commands and that has been brilliant. Connecting to the Garmin online update service has not been without its frustrations though - hence until they sort out a more reliable interface for updating especially on Windows, it only warrants three stars on "Easy to Use". Apart from that, it is a good piece of kit.
