jmrains - (January 06, 2006) I have been checking out GPS units for work for a few weeks. I have tested the TomTom Go 700, Magellan 760, Lowrance i500C, Navman iCN 550 and the Garmin 2720. We are buying the Garmin 2720. Maps - Not as much detail in 3D mode as other units but that turned out to be a strength. The route is purple, turns are white and because there aren't that many roads it shows more of the route than any other unit in 3D mode. I never have any problem determining exactly where I'm supposed to go. It shows things like the local Ball park (none of the other's did) and only it and the Magellan 760 found it's way through the shortcut I use to get home. If you enter 2D mode the number of streets

gatorj - (December 17, 2005) I recently upgraded to the Nuvi from the Garmin Quest after much research. The Nuvi has met or exceeded all expectations, it is a definite keeper. The one and only negative is the speaker. It is small and distorts if you max the volume. This is an issue in my Escape which allows considerable road/wind noise intrusion, not with my Nissan Z. The compact Nuvi has an ideal size screen which is readable in broad daylight and at night. The touch screen is much easier than the Quest's cursor/button system. The text to voice feature is another reason I purchased it. A realistic female voice announces street names instead of just distances. The Nuvi has an excellent mounting system, much eas

wdemauro - (December 08, 2005) Just got it! Set up was a breeze, the PDF is available on Garmin.com so I had a couple of days to read and reread the manual (it's a quick read) but turned out to be a snap to get up and running... The nuvi found me in the house even though I was on the first floor in an area that is a dead zone for most electronics. I had test routes in mind to put it through... a few roads that were difficult, as which were the best roads to take, the first one I tried could have thrown me on the highway for a single exit instead of the road I knew to be shorter and a coin toss as to whether it was quicker- nuvi didn't get fooled!, it found some roads that I was sure were too new to be on a database. The s

ITALO299 - (10/15/2009) 13 MONTHS INTO OWNING THE 890 PRO THE SCREEN WENT BLANK. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING ONLINE AND NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT FROM LOGITECH I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN GET ANY OTHER REMOTE FROM THEM FOR 50% OFF. THE ONE TO REPLACE IT IS $400.00. SO AFTER $250.00 FOR THE 890 I AM DOWN $450. NOT SURE IF NEW PRODUCT WILL LAST SO WHAT ARE YOU TO DO . ALL MY COMPONETS ARE IN CLOSET AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH LOGITECH CORNERED THE MARKET ON RF REMOTES LIKE EDDIE MURPHY AND DAN AKROID IN TRADING PLACES DID WITH ORANGE JUICE.

jjchgo3933 - (09/01/2009) For the price I expected more. The AM antenna is not powered, non-amplified. The FM antenna works great. The wires are too short. It can not be moved far from the Receiver. It has no on off switch. It has to be adjusted for every station.

16719891 - (08/23/2009) Compared to the higher priced models of radar detectors now on the market, this unit provides me all the protection that I need for substantially less money. I've eliminated the power cord and have installed the unit directly below my rear view mirror. Easy to read, provides protection 360 degrees, not too sensetive to distract me as I drive, and detects the radar providing me with sufficient warning to check my speed.
