The 880 is another excellent Garmin product. I previously had a C550 and enjoy the larger screen. MSNDirect is a great add on although you have to be near a fairly large city to get updates. Voice command is the biggest plus, although at times(very rare)it does have a hard time understanding certain commands. Not sure if it is caused by areas with heavy road noise or my voice. The only thing that does not work is the FM transmitter, it is scratchy and useless.

The best GPS I have had - but Amazon's price is way too high. Found it on other web site for up to $200 less for a NIB unit.

The Garmin nuvi 880 I purchased thru Amazon WAS DEFECTIVE. YES, DEFECTIVE. I CONTACTED GARMIN AND THEY EACHANGED FOR ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. THEY WERE WONDERFUL. AMzon SHOULD CHECK PRODUCTS IF THEY ARE IN WORKING CONDITIONS BEFORE SHIPPING THEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES FROM AMAZON AGAIN.

PLEASE, DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR EXPLANATIONS OR FOLLOW UP. OK? I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT.

As advertised, this is a great product. One of the things I really like is the ability to find the best price for gas using MSN DIrect. Another, is the ability to give directions to the unit while on the move, using speech recognition. One disappointment is the traffic feature which has not been aware of the traffic I've been in. Oh well, you can't have everything.

If your looking for a full featured, hands-free operable GPS unit, this is the one to consider. Compared to other units, this Garmin unit far exceeded my requirements. The added MSN features such as searching for the cheapest gas, latest movies, closest theatres and movie time makes the NUVI 880 AN EXCEPTIONAL CHOICE! You can voice activate this NUVI while driving, allowing you to focus completely on driving and not on making selections on the GPS. Add the fully functional bluetooth feature and your listening to your GPS' responses through your car's stereo system.

Make sure that when purchasing such an expensive unit that you don't forego getting an extended warranty. I was skeptical purchasing this GPS unit from certain vendors on the internet since so many had a bad reputation with customers and the Better Business Bureau. Beware with gray market offers from unreliable vendors. Gray market GPS are not generally covered by the manufacture's warranty. Stick to reputable vendors such as AMAZON. I actually called them to ensure that I was not getting a gray market GPS and the service rep provide the information I needed to assure that I wasn't being scammed. I am truly happy with this unit and my expereince with all my AMAZON puchases have been above board. All items were receive in a timely manner and factory fresh.
