Customer Review: Do not buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
Having been pleased with my Garmin Street Pilot 2720, I looked forward to the Garmin nuvi 880, with hands-free telephone, FM connection, and more. 1)It responds inconsistently to my loud voice commands, 2)the person I call can hear my voice, but their voice is too soft for me to hear, 3)if I switch to having sound transmitted through my radio, I can hear their voice but this replaces my radio transmission, and 4)I could go on with how unsatisfactory it is in all of the "advances" in this new instrument. Talking to Garmin was a total waste of time and zero help. I am seriously thinking of returning it to the dealer, but just haven't gotten around to it.Customer Review: Nuvi 880

The Nuvi works ok, good points are it has the alerts on the screen so all you have to do is touch it to see the alert, the screen is clear and bright, the recalculation works quickly and is accurate. Some poor points are the speaker is not very loud, the phone synchronization is good but the speaker volume is far to low, the unit has difficulty finding satellites at times, the voice recognition for planning a route does not work properly at all, you will do better to use the screen. I had a Tom Tom and really liked the screen layout but the route calculation was not as accurate as the Nuvi. So there it is the best of both worlds.Customer Review: garmin nuvi 880

I started with the Garmin IQ3600 then got a Nuvie 680 (this is a great GPS) and now I have the Nuvi 880. I bought it because of the voice activate control. When it works it is great. However, it is not as great as I had hoped. Rain, wind, radio, traffic noise will make it almost useless. I have yelled and screamed many time at the device only to be ignored. If you are parked or it is quit then it works very well. The Nuvi 880 is a great GPS even without the voice activation. The features over the 680 made it worth the update cost.Customer Review: Best Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Have been using the Garmin Nuvi 880 for several months and on two trips over 2000 miles each. It is as advertised, the best yet by Garmin or any other I have seen. I was somewhat leary about the voice recognition but it works, about 90% accurate on the first try.
The hands free phone connection is a plus although the volume at interstate speeds could be higher.
The "find place by name" feature is my favorite, so easy to just speak 'Starbucks' and let the unit find one.
All in all, I give it five stars.
