Everywhere you go
Very easy to set up. Explicitly direction that are easy to follow. Very clear images and up to date. A good choice and a competitive price. Recommended

Decent satnav, worthy upgrade
This is a significant improvement over my previous Garmin (2599LMT) that was really getting long in the tooth, having been purchased back in 2014 - but then you'd expect it to be. It's a very usable satnav, but not without glitches or issues.The screen is much improved over the old nav, being slightly bigger and noticeably sharper - easy to read and handle. The performance is also much better, the old one struggled with the current maps, sometimes took ages to recalculate the route and wasn't even able to store the full Europe map any more - this one handles all of that well.It's also able to update itself via wifi without having to use the Garmin Express software - that's a bonus as Garmin Express has given me many headaches in the past...The screen graphics and navigation instructions are clear and the UI intuitive to use, being used to the previous version it was very easy to adapt to it.As for the issues I have with it - it has already crashed once or twice while in use and restarted itself, this used to happen with the old Garmin occasionally as well. The routes it suggests in London are still occasionally rather dubious, that's probably a map data issue but it hasn't improved... Finally, while it can work as hands-free device, it seems the mic is rather poor and I've not been able to get that to work properly - maybe it's an issue with my device.It's not cheap though and many people will prefer to use their phone for navigation. I however like Garmin's UI usability, the clarity of instructions and not having to rely on having mobile signal (very useful when travelling to the remoter parts of UK!)

Great
Brilliant , accuracy is great and love the touch screen. Speed is accurate, connectivity is great and excellent value for money. Has plenty of functions available.

Clumsy and useless - reconsider
Typical Garmin layout- screen nice and clear, everything fits on there. USA maps expensive but worked a treat. But the functionality is the problem with this entry level unit. I'd spend more if I were you or try an alternative brand. I have other Garmin products and are very loyal to them but this is useless and after 2 years, not getting better.Voice recognition: used to be fine in older units but this has now changed to 'GO GARMIN' (whatever that means); it doesn't work. Period. It will work however when you don't need it to- such as when you are having a conversation with a passenger.The Garmin Drive app: You don't get half the features advertised unless you link to the Garmin apps via bluetooth. The Garmin Drive app looks like something developed in the 80s and functionality to match. The interface is incredible, check it out. It is so basic its amazing this exists in 2023. It won't remember any of your previous destinations and half the time will not connect to the satnav at all. Traffic reports are mostly late, or don't appear at all.Often switches itself off, diversionary routes come too late, and a host of other niggles.Spend more, this is crap.

Battery length disappointing
My third Garmin, previous one bought in 2014! Positives are the advance directions, allowing the driver to get into the correct lane for example much earlier than previous versions . Downside is the battery. It doesn’t charge from the car as previous ones did. It’s supposed to but doesn’t. The battery only lasts about 30 mins. I have to fully charge the satnav via a USB port at home before I use it and take a power charger with me to charge it en route. I’m not sure why it charges at home and not in the car as there’s nothing wrong with the car charging unit because it charges my phone without any problem. 🤷♀️ Going to check with the manufacturer
