Mounting
How different the Garmin. He is in itself very well in the hand and is very easy to use. The installation in the vehicle holds the screen bombproof and calm even in bumpy sections.
Receiving
The GPS antenna must be unfolded for routing, but that does not bother me, the navigation in the enclosed bag but prevented. The reception is thanks to SiRF III class. Often even in buildings.
Routing
For route guidance, I can not say as much, but a few times he has surprised me with better lines than I am, they drove past. At first I was worried because it was criticized in other reviews that (despite the name!) Can not enter umlauts. That's probably true, but you can just leave. Then Munchen from Munich and from Cologne is Cologne. So it'll work then without problems. Unfortunately, you can not plan on the computer route.
Advantages:
+ Sleek, high-quality display
+ Easy operation
+ Postcode search
+ Good route guidance
+ Extensive maps
+ TMC already in the process (wire antenna on the suction cup)
+ Faster GPS fix after Tunneldurchfahrt
+ Text-to-speech
+ Incremental search
+ Bluetooth (works for me without problems)
+ Optional glossary of words and phrases
Disadvantages:
- Bad speakers for MP3 playback
- The optional guide are overpriced and allegedly unusable (unanimous opinion forum)
- Jerky display (hoping for an update)
- No convenience software to manage the Nüvi here
- The Internet presence is better at other possibly
- Not all POI categories are really busy
- Not contain maps on DVD
Conclusion:
According to my experience so far I would buy this device at any time. It would be desirable by a replaceable battery and possibly more internal memory. But you can expand any more than the card slot.
The connection to the PC is solved very spartan.
