I love garmin sat navs and bought this refurbished one for holiday in the US because it was easier to buy it than try and download the maps to my UK one (takes forever!) which would also have meant I had to buy an SD card. The screen is quite small but good enough. I can't say how reliable it is because I haven't been on holiday yet!

Although a 2011 model it still does its job of getting you from A to B Dinky size yet still easy to see and fits easily in pocket or handbag Easy to use and can be street name or postcode when asking it to find Easily change country and use in Western Europe suits me well as want to use in Portugal Can go fastest route or shortest route and also another route helps save fuel on journey When sound set at 100% can still hear with windows down in heavy traffic Have set home address so no matter where I go can just set home and let it guide me there Pink road with car on it to follow and big arrow showing you road where you need to turn into Can set your Sat Nav at home and add some favourite locations ( need home charger sold separately) There is also a " Where Am I " setting if curious about area you are in Battery life stated as 4 hours but seeing as pre owned I will just use with in car charger All in all a good little basic Sat Nav from a good maker And I'm pleased with itRead full review

I wanted a small, relatively inexpensive, unit from a well-known maker. Decided that this model would fit the bill, and it does. Seems very well made and the windscreen mount is still holding very tightly (had bad experiences with other mounts which dropped off after a few days). The software is fairly basic but does its job well enough. I didn't charge it before use, thinking that the power cable from the car electrics would soon charge the battery. After a few days, I thought I'd heed the screen suggestion that I update the software. Connected it to my computer with the USB cord and found the Garmin site. Started the update and was very surprised to find that it was going to take ages and ages. Ah well, I'll just go away and do something else. It DID take ages and finally completed. Horror of horrors, I couldn't turn it on after the update. I tried pressing the on button, pressing and holding, double pressing, everything. And nothing happened. Had thoughts of returning it to Garmin. BUT I looked at a few internet forums and others had had the same problem. The solution is to give the unit a good long charge. I didn't have an external charger at that point (I have one now - eBay) so left it connected to the computer via USB for several hours. Success! It worked again. Might have been useful to have this in the instructions.(Maybe it's there but I didn't see it.) I decided to set a security PIN. One slight annoyance is that I have to enter this PIN before every journey. Difficult to know how it would work otherwise, but it is a bit of a pain. Don't know whether having set this security I can unset it. Another time, I might consider not setting a PIN and take the risk. Another similar annoyance is the 'pester' screen that tells you you have to be a good boy and not fiddle with it when driving. Every time you switch it on. Surely once would be enough! Overall, very pleased with this satnav.Read full review
A good entry level sat nav if you have not used one before. Very intuitive and clear directions.

Very accurate and easy to use. Clear screen - easy to follow. Compact unit which fits into a pocket easily. I have tried most popular other makes except Tom-tom and in my judgement this tops all others.
