Customer Review: GRREEAT GPS!
Summary: 4 Stars
I never really thought about buying a GPS for my car. Most of my experience with these have been in rental cars. Those were Magellan systems and they were awsome I thought in strange towns.
At the time of purchasing this Garmin unit, I was in yet another strange town and my rental car didn't have the option. So I shopped around local places and online. This GPS is almost awsome! Why "almost" you ask? Well the only complaint I have is that there are a couple of game features on it but they are trial versions. Suprised to find the classic Missle Command game installed I couldn't resist to play it for a bit. It is a great version of the game until you find out it's a trial version then it stops and says you got to buy the full version...COME ON! for the price these stupid little games should be free - don't you think? This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars.
Well about the GPS - You will not be disappointed with the ease of use, clairity of the touch screen and the blue tooth function works pretty good. It updates itself and is pretty accurate if you get that option. The windshield mounting system works very well. It even adjusts brightness automatically for day or night use. It is funny, now I seem to use it in my home town cause it is fun seeing what routes it selects compared to my chosen path.
Customer Review: Garmen 880 Nuvi GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my Garmin Nuvi 880 just before heading up North to Maine for a Vacation. It arrived early. The "extra" charger that I thought I might need did not fit the product which requires a special charger to get MSN so be careful---not the sellers fault--I thought maybe the seller would short change the order and leave out critical parts whcih was not the case. The unit came complete with special charger, mounts and instructions.
I love the unit but most of all having dealt with Garmin in the past, I know they they are very customer oriented and was shown that agin on a question regarding the remote which they sent out a backup just in case. I had had a Tom Tom just prior and their customer service was terrible.
Very satisfied with the product just concerned that right after I bought it it became "obsolete" and they stopped making that model even though consumers gave it the highest grade.
Customer Review: Fixed the biggest issue on 880

I own Nuvi 660 and 880. The bluetooth option works flawlessly on 660 because the speaker is loud and clear. On 880, this is a major problem, the voice and reception is bad. I managed to fix it by running a headphones cable (3.5mm rca) from Nuvi to Aux jack in the car. It works great.

Very disappointed! The route directions at times make no sense whatever. I have to use Google Maps as well because I cannot rely on the directions from the Garmin!
A lot of money for a product that is inferior!
Customer Review: I once was lost but now I'm found
Summary: 5 Stars
My goodness this is one incredible piece of equipment, it's absolutely worth the money I spent for it, a winner, I absolutely love it. I recently spent some time getting lost on a trip into LA's tangled freeway jungle and the Nuvi got me back on track quickly, accurately, every time. Nice -- thank you Garmin and thank you too Amazon!
