Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this model after owning the 205 and 255 Garmin GPS units which I was very satisfied with. So I moved up to this one because of the wider screen and it came highly recommended from a family member. Quite honestly I was disappointed in the battery life and the voice recognition thing. The original battery I have already replaced and the new one, too, will not hold a charge over more than a couple of days even when unplugged and turned completely off in the console. I never had that problem with the other models. The voice recognition thing works sometimes but it hates my southern drawl and I hate screaming at it while I'm driving so I just use it manually. I've had this unit about 2 months and a couple of times it has just frozen up on me and I had to turn it off and remove the battery to reboot the system. Like the other smaller units it will get you to the right street every time, but don't count on the location flag being exact. Another disappointment was the multi-lane mode. When I saw it advertised the screen was in the multi-lane mode at an intersection, so I naturally thought the screen was always in that mode. In that mode you actually see the lanes and traffic signs, not just the triangle moving along a map. On my first trip I discovered that it rarely goes into the multi-lane mode and only when there is more than one lane exiting the same direction. What a bummer! Ending on a positive note, because of the larger screen I can read it easily.
