Rating: - 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!

Rating: - Great for the $$
For the money I would buy this product again. Easy to use and install with the mount provided. Easy to follow instructions. I would like the volume to be louder - hard to hear at max volume in a large vehicle (Ford F-250) as the unit sits a ways away.

Rating: - Garmin nüvi 650 Review
The Garmin nuvi 650 was really fun to operate/use. It really works. It definitely requires a 2 person operation. On the down side, when it said to take a right/left turn, it sometimes was confusing if more than 1 turn was in front of you. Saying to "turn in 300 feet", when another turn was in 50 to 60 feet further, cause some hesitation before turning. I think this problem will be resolved by more usage of the system. Overall an excellent product.

Rating: - LOVE THIS GPS!
I never believed I would love GPS so much. Thought it was unnecessary in my life. But now, it is like my cellphone. I feel incomplete without it.

I really like this product. Well thought out, easy to use.
