Summary: 5 Stars
I'm new to GPS devices so I asked around and was recommended to the Garmin line. I bought my son and myself the Garmin Nuvi 650 and we are both very happy with it (found them online at a box warehouse for $299 each, delivered with tax and shipping for around $325 each). Took the unit out of the box, battery had plenty of juice in it to play around with it for a while. You just turn it on, and in less than 1 minute we were ready to go. It reads in the satellites and you set your home location and that was it. Very impressive, as it knows to the foot exactly where you are, announces streets just before you get to them, and if you take a different route than recommended, it just recalculates in seconds. It even shows train tracks coming up on the screen, and next thing you know you went right over those tracks. As your driving around it shows parks on the screen, golf courses, etc. so that was kind of nice. NO CD or other software to load. In fact there was no CD in the box. Found a nice leather case for it at Best Buy for $19. Now all we need is an inexpensive carrying bag from Target. I did notice that the database has a few outdated restaurants and such, but that's understandable considering how much developments change, restaurants move or close, etc. Some newer shopping centers I couldn't find though they have been under construction for over a year and we have the 2008 maps. The 4.3" screen on this thing is gorgeous and the voice announcing the streets is pleasant. We're both extremely happy with this Nuvi 650. However for the price it should have included a case and at least an AC charger. You have to charge from the USB of your PC or plug it into the cigarette lighter adapter in your car. A permanent screen protector would have been nice too, since they put one on there that has to be removed and tossed. Adding these omitted items will add at least $50 to have the complete setup. I also bought the larger friction mount to use the UPS on the dash or floor, since they are illegal to mount on the windshield in California. This works out really nice.Digital camera Review: Excellent tool

I'll make this short and sweet. It gets the job done. clear directions, voice is clear and timely and big screen. Not much else needed to be add, it's a gps not a rocket science. :)Digital camera Review: Excellent!

We bought this GPS in Sept 2008. The function, direction, voice prompt are just excellent. Very accurate! The best is that it prompts you with the street name instead like "making a left turn in 100 feet" etc. As for downloading the updated 2009 map. At first we were having a hard time to just register & download but finally we figured out how to do it. It is just kind of tricky. I think Garmin should review & improve thier downloading program. Otherwise, this product is just excellent!Digital camera Review: Exceptional littel device

Bought this istead of the 750. Wanted voice to speak street names. It's extremely compact. I have a built in state of the art navi in my AcuraTl, but this one is almost as good. I bought it for the portability. It's extremely accurate, and would highly recommend it for anyone that wants a real quality system.
