 Useless if you live in Ireland. January 6, 2009
Tom S (Galway)
The detail of mapping in Ireland is terrible. Even on the latest (update which costs 79.99) motorways are missing, the M6 which has been open for over seven months is still absent. The route selection provided by the unit frequently ignores shorter options along main roads in favour of back roads. The route preference selection appears to have absolutely no impact on the route chosen by the unit. As for the process of downloading the map updates, I found the Garmin website decidedly un-user friendly. It took several attempts and ultimately a phone call to their UK number (there is no support for Irish customers) to receive confirmation of my purchase, then the download was provided at a meagre ~80kb/s therefore taking in excess of 10hrs. This unit is far outclassed by the similarly priced TomTom One which I have just purchased and have absolutely problem in recommending.
 Good low cost satnav, shame about the US docs and website January 1, 2009

This largely does what I wanted it to do - it gets my daughter home from anywhere without her having to do very much. Seems to work well - I have no need for any sophisticated features like some reviewers. However, I think the supplied manual is poor and does not showcase the features very well. Also the Garmin website is not at all friendly and should be tailored to the model you have - instead it gives masses of irrelevant information and downloads that you don't need. However, four stars for working straight away out of the box.

Great little gadget. Ordered Friday didnt expect until after christmas (chose standard delivery) but arrived Monday! Took a few minutes to set up. I gave it a test drive to work, it tried to go several routes but I stuck to my usual and each time relocated and did so quickly! Definately value for money.

Love this, easily superior to the tomtom one which it aims to compete with. For the price alone it is amazing value for money considering you get full European mapping. It's very user friendly, simple to use, very clear navigation and hard to fault. The windscreen mount is great as well. The only downside is you dont get a charger (other than in car). But any mini usb cable will work fine.
