Rating:  - one of the most frustrating purchases ever
I took it to Portland Oregon and the device was worse than worthless. Example: it said I was 500 feet from my destination, then I turned into a parking lot and then it said I was 8 miles from my destination. Another example: I was headed to the airport and following the instructions. It said I was 20 minutes away; then it said, "re-calculating route" and I was 38 minutes away. I had to stop at a gas station and get directions. At least 10 times I was following the instructions and then it says `recalculating route". I have more examples, but you get the idea. I bought it online and realized how bad it was after the return policy expired and so I tried to return it to Garmin, but they wouldn't take it. I didn't want to sell it because it works so badly, so I gave it to goodwill and wrote on the box that it is a `toy'. Do yourself a favor and buy something better.
Rating:  - The one of the best gadget I've ever had....
this is one of the best gadget I have ever had, very portable, waterproof,very bright sharp screen,very accurate, excellent battery life,
the price was excellent for the quality, features.
I had this fantastic device for 3 years I am sometimes still learning about how to fully utilize this device, this has a lot of differnt ways to show you the direction. Men are usually good with directions so u may not need voice guidence sometimes u just need to glance a brief map with highlighted path,or u just need typed directions all depend the way needed
but nothing is perfect. This device doesnt response quickly in a busy downtown area so you might have to give it a little time to recalculate.
when I tried to buy this product I read a lot of amazon's customer reviews
they all make their point they about 90 percent right. The reason why I am giving 5 stars are despite of it's shortcomings(128mb builin memory)
When u get used to how it works u will learn to love this product. This is the very fist GPS I ever had but I dont think i need any better GPS.
This also has all the attractions, parks,restraunt, u practically dont need yellowpages, but like any electronics u can use basic functions but this amazing device is much more than that, don't let this small screen fool you because small screen is good enough for u. I can go on with all the details but I can almost gurantee u that u will not regret it.

Well, I enjoyed this unit while it lasted. Now it works for a few minutes before it eternally says "Lost Satellite Reception". Since Garmin charges $150 to repair it, I'll be getting a new one. This shouldn't have happened. I only use it a few times per month!
Shoulda gotten the extended warranty!
Rating:  - Garmin Quest GPS
I really like this unit. It is fairly easy to use and easy to read. I bought it for two reasons...it is weatherproof which is great for use on the motorcycle, and it was much, much cheaper than the Azuma model which sells for $600.00. I got this as a factory reconditioned unit and it was like new with all the peripherals, window mount, charger, etc. I only had two problems. The setup disc is a DVD, not a CD so my stone age computer wouldn't play it but my friends laptop saved the day. Secondly, there is no inexpensive power cord that I can connect to my RAM motorcycle mount. Garmin makes a cycle mount, but I don't like it as well as the RAM so I have to run it on battery power on the bike which limits its use and range. RAM makes a power cord, but it cost $113.00...a bit steep. In the car...IT WORKS GREAT. The window mount/power cord/speaker is loud and clear with adjustable volume. AND the support from GARMIN is terrific. They responded to numerous email inquiries promptly and were very helpful. All in all, for only $200.00 and change, this was a great bargain, and I recommend it.
Rating: - Great little nav
Now I'm a bit of a GPS nut and a Garmin fan - I have the nuvi 360 in my commuter car, and gave the i3 to my directionally-challenged college student son. I recently bought a motorcycle, and mounted the nuvi on it - was disappointed in the readability of the display in bright sunlight, and nervous about getting caught in the rain.
Got the Quest after some research, and think it's perfect for motorcycling. The display is nice and bright even in full sun, and it's waterproof! Got a Garmin motorcycle mount that can be wired to the bike and to a helmet headset, although haven't gotten around to doing all that yet; for now just running it on the internal battery (great battery life) and visual commands.
Each of my nav units serves well; the nuvi is definitely easiest to use, the i3 is very simple for someone like my son who only uses it occasionally and doesn't want to bother learning all about GPS, and the Quest is awesome for the motorcycle - the ability to pre-program routes with multiple waypoints is great for Sunday morning loop rides to out-of-the-way places.
