"This is my first GPS unit and I did quite a bit of research before deciding on this particular Garmin model.

"Use it out of the box. Very E-Z to use. Keep it on all the time and it helps you see your speed. I used it for 3 trips and it was dead on, even tells you when you are going get there. Mounts on windshild so you can see it and the road. You will save gas getting there the fastest way. "
