Very nice GPS Unit! Big screen, built in mp3 player, language pack capable, easy to update online, memory card slot for extra data. We upgraded from a 200 or 205 with a 3 inch screen and WOW does the 4.3 really look nice. The added text to speech is nice to help keep your eyes on the road. For what I paid at Amazon, it was well worth the upgrade. Plus it fits in my old carrying case without any problem. I love it.

Received Garmin and made an attempt to register on line. Was told the software was not up to date. Kind lady at customer service helped me register. She also informed me to call tech service to get help with software update and that I was eligible for a free map upgrade. Did not have time because I was leaving for a California trip the next morning. Found in California the law prohibits the unit on dash or windshield. Bought a new power cord from Radio Shack to be able to lay unit in seat (supplied power cord attaches to the windshield mount and the mount would not stay upright in the seat). Only confusion in CA was unit kept telling me to do a U-Turn at the hotel. Guided me through San Francisco like a dream. Upon return, I downloaded the new software with no problem but could not get the map update. Contacted tech service and they said lady was wrong to tell me I was eligible for free map upgrade and it would cost $70. I asked how do I return so I can buy a Tom Tom with latest maps. After some hassle, they agreed that I was indeed eligible and mailed me the latest map DVD. Spent the major part of an afternoon updating the unit. Had no difficulty with the upgrade except it took a long time (2-3 Hours). I made a trip to a rural part of SC and the unit found the road but not the correct address. Directed me about one mile away from my true destination. Unit is not perfect but I like it. I use the GPS but do not use all the other bells and whistles. I recommend it to anyone who travels a lot.

I have had other GPS devices that can't compare to this item, very easy to use and not confusing. I am very happy with this product.

We also have a TomTom, and this beats it hands down. It is great! It has current maps and is very accurate. It has great software as well.

Along with a map, Nuvi 650 helped us to navigate a roadtrip from Florida to New York. The only difficulty is it wanted to route us on backroads insted of the most direct way, But if you have a map and know about where you want to go you can bypass this. Did help with detours and city driving. Would buy it again.
