Best driving tool Ever
This is he best ever. Easy to follow directions, ample warning before turns. My only complaint is when going off track by taking an exit on the highway just to get gas, it directs you via local streets to the next exit instead of back to the exit you used previously. .... Read more

Great GPS for the money
I am impressed with this little guy. I ran to our local Costco to take advantage of the sale they had on the Garmin 750 (marked down to $199) which features the 4.3 inch screen.

Older models would have you insert an exact .... Read more

Good GPS - Compared to a Magellan 4250
I have three GPS's - A Tom Tom one, a Magellan 4250 and the Magellan 1212. The 4250 is updated with the latest firmware (4.6). The 1212 I guess is a new model with much better hardware than the previous generation.
Much to my surprise - the routing logic on the 1212 is the best of the lot. For example, both Tom Tom One and the 4250, give me highly suboptimal routing when I ask it to take me to the nearest Wal Mart in Mountain View from Sunnyvale without taking the freeway. I've given then .... Read more
