Customer Review

I'm off for a few months with the device and then look around for a replacement. Although it should be noted positively that the GPS fix and route calculation to go pretty quick (as opposed to my old TOMTOM at least), but the unit has very serious disadvantages. Above all, it is calculated VERY VERY OFTEN routes that are definitely not the fastest. It happened to me several times that the device selects significant detours as a route with the shortest travel time. In the city I'm so often piloted by small side roads with speed limit of 30, rather than the main arteries to use. Despite tens of times control my Settings, factory reset, software update and contact with (the hopeless worthless) Garmin Helpdesk the problem persists. My advice, therefore, from the purchase. The menu navigation is significantly worse than in Tomtom - I find it considerably more complicated to use.

Positive note ultimately remains only the attachment system to the windscreen, the better to classes than that of Tomtom.

very good but not practical Rank: 4/5
