Good but.... 
2008-10-07
The NUVI is a good PND, however, its not perfect; love the larger screen but the maps do not show the street I live on. Further, should you not take the advised directions (say you go in driveway B, but the devise wanted you to take driveway A, it has a conniption fit and you might as well restart the device, it just can't handle that you arrived at the correct place in the (debatably) wrong way. Those points aside, the devise processes information quickly with little lag, you won't miss your next turn unless you decide to (which the device will quickly recalculate). For the price, I am disappointed that it did not include CD (maps), carrying case etc... Downloading map updates is a real drag even with high-speed internet, the companies servers appear to default to 56K it took all night to download and update my NUVI!!!!! I really like what the DASH Express is all about but I'm afraid it's not ready for prime time yet, so in the meantime, NUVI is about as good as it gets - 4 stars.
Excellent! 
2008-10-06
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!
Driving made EASY 2008-10-06
This has made finding where you are going alot easier. The quality is excellent.
Great for the $$ 2008-10-05
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.
Garmin nüvi 650 Review 2008-10-03
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.

Nuvi 2008-10-01
The GPS is great, easy to use. However, the suction cup windshield mounting hardware is cheap and doesn't stay put very long. How can you safely use the thing when it keeps falling off of the windshield? For that kind of $$ you'd think Garmin could have come up with a better quality device to secure their product with.
Navigator 2008-09-30
I haven't had the opportunity to use the product as of yet, but will in the next few weeks on our trip. Don't know yet how reliable this product is.
Don't know how I lived without it 2008-09-29
I have fallen in love with my Garmin. Even driving locally it has helped me find surrounding streets and alternative routes to go. I went house shopping this weekend and it was an amazing help in finding all the properties without getting hopelessly lost. My whole family is now addicted to it. I was able to figure out how to use it fairly easy, despite the minimal instruction manual. It did take nearly an entire day to download the new map but everything worked just fine. It makes all of my trips infinitely easier and less stressful. I love this thing!!
Dont forget to get your 2009 map updates for free at garmin.com! 2008-09-25
I got my nuvi two days ago and updated it with the latest map and device updates. Its really an awesome gps, its fast ,accurate and easy to use. The best feature it has is auto on/off mode. When you start your car it starts it self and when you stop your car it turns it self off. By the way it can connect to WAAS satellite, the other navigation devices cant do that so consider this option before you buy another gps. I also have a navigon 7100 but I strongly recommend nuvi 650 to who needs a good and cheap portable gps.
