Excellent GPS I have had this GPS for 1.5 months now and it has been excellent so far. I upgraded from my old Garmin Nuvi 885 and my thoughts are below:Satellite:* It is really fast to acquire a GPS satellite. Most of the time in less than a couple of seconds. I took this GPS on a trip to Myrtle Beach from Pittsburgh and it has always been fast in acquiring satellites.Screen and screen navigation:* I went with the 4.3 inch over the 5 inch version because I dont really see a reason to pay the extra $20 for an additional 0.7″.* The screen is not as good as the current smart phones but very responsive for a GPS. It is much better compared to my 885.* The GPS is fast and very responsive. No lags when moving across different screens.Map updates:* The map updates are pretty good. I have updated it once now and the process was very smooth.* This is my first GPS with lifetime maps. I have read reviews of other GPS where people complain…

Mostly useful with a few quirks Bought this, my first GPS, to take on a solo trip where I wouldn’t have someone else in the car to read maps or a smart phone to me, and I’m glad I did. Driving around an unfamiliar area, having to find various businesses and locations along the twisty roads of Boston suburbs, it was very useful. If you don’t take the turn (either by accident or on purpose) that the device wants you to, it quickly recalculates and gives you a new route. Sometimes found instructions confusing when moving through expressway exchanges at highway speeds, but when I did the wrong thing, as I say, she gave me new directions.The not so good: Very frustrating out of the box. No manual with the device, of course. When I plugged it in and registered the device, I assumed there would be a link right there to the manual for the device I was registering (wouldn’t that make sense?). But no. I found a place to search for manuals on the Garmin web site, but it didn’t provide one for my device. Eventually…
