Garmin Legal Notice It should be noted that Garmin has discontinued this model in 2009.User Reviews Amazon: By R. GOLDENBERG "Qwabi from Queens", February 12, 2009 Wow...bought this for my brother's 60th B.D. He is a techno wiz and I hoped he would love it. Cannot pry it out of his shirt pocket or off the dash. He won't stop using it...My sister-in-law wants to kill me. But making him happy was the best thing in the world. I have the NUVI 670 and truly love it. Would highly recommend this to anyone you want to impress and make happy. By M. Poma, February 10, 2009 Second Nuvi and still think they are great. This one even easier to use than the first. I cannot believe that automakers are charging 6 times this for the built in system that does half as much and is twice as hard to use. By Lost but Found, January 20, 2009 Received this for Christmas and I love it! The unit is very user friendly, very accurate with directions, and all the other functions are easy to access and use. By torch892 "torch892", January 19, 2009 It's a gift for my wife, but I want to keep it. It's so much better than my own gps unit. GREAT price. Test Freaks: 2008-12-20 I bought this for a trip to Europe. It was incredibly accurate...locations, towns, gas stations, everything was accurate. 2008-12-14 Great GPS!
