    Great with a few wrinkles

    "Travel in Europe and able to locate Star Bucks for my wife. When your in a train or boat it keeps jumping to the nearest road. Was able to preload destinations in Europe. Nifty charger cord, just switch the prongs. Now for the wrinkles. 4 hours battery life is about max time before charging. Need to send to Garmin for battery replacement. It needs a walk mode. Compass is of no use. Been very happy with this and ..." Read Full Review »
