This product is awesome! I bought this for my husband who has a blackberry. He is always getting directions from his phone, but I think it is totally unsafe to do while he is driving. I was impressed immediately. It is very accurate and gives directions with enough time to change lanes or turn. The voice is easy to hear and understand and the large screen shows enough detail that you can keep your eyes on the road and glance at it periodically. I do recommend using the car mount. I didn't the first time and I was by myself in a city that I had never been in. It was a little difficult to look at and I had to keep sliding it back and forth. It is suggested that you purchase one (along with a car charger) when you purchase the Nuvi, but they already come with them in the box so don't buy them separately. A quick tip, you have to be outside for it to locate you. I didn't realize this when I first used it and spent 20 minutes trying to tell it that I wasn't in my home city. I was in the parking garage of the airport rental lot. As soon as I pulled out of the garage and stopped it zeroed in to exactly where I was. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Don't leave home without it, I bought one 3 months ago for my wife and bought this one (3 months later) for me.

The product is great except for 1 thing, the bluetooth. The device connects immediately to my phone. The problem is that the device is not loud enough for me to hear. The response I get from the person I am talking too is "It sounds like you are under water". So, this device is not any better than the regular bluetooth devices for your phone. I would recommend not getting this device for the bluetooth capabilities, stick with the devices from your cell company. I use the bluetooth in the device to see who is calling and I pick up the phone to talk to the person.
