Not Worth The Money - Voice Commands Hype

Rated 3 out of 5
I recently bought a Nuvi 850. Here's my advice for what it's worth. The real value of a Nav system comes from the fundamentals. * Receiver * Maps * Routing Engine * Display * User Interface Garmin does a solid job in all these areas. But that's not why you're paying a premium for an 800 series Nuvi. This model has a couple of "nice to have" features that were introduced on the 700 series of Nuvi's. * Where Am I * Where's My Car Both are very well implemented and can be very handy. But again, all of the stuff I mentioned so far can be found in a Nuvi costing $300 less. So what are you paying a premium for? * Voice Recognition * User Replaceable Battery * Front Mounted Speakers Well, the front mounted speakers are still drowned out by moderate road noise. So, I wouldn't pay a nickel for that. The only real sound solution remains the FM transmitter that everyone complains about. It works OK for me, in my car, in my area. Your mileage may vary.

Frustrated Garmin Fan

Rated 2 out of 5
I am a Realtor and have been using my Garmin GPS for almost four years. (It was the 2720 and had cost $999 when I bought it.) It's invaluable to me in my business. Today it died as I was previewing a dozen homes and I went back to where I bought it originally and picked up an 850. Boy, am I disappointed! The new graphics will take some getting used to, but that's not the problem. With the newer technology and all the bells and whistles, I had expected this unit to be MORE intuitive than my old one. Turns out it's not. Twice it told me it could not find addresses in older neighborhoods where my old Garmin never had a problem. I had to guess my way across unfamiliar areas to find them and, sure enough, once I got there, the street names registered on my screen. I immediately saw what happened but was shocked that Garmin hadn't picked up the slight differences. One street is named McLain Road. I typed in Mclain (small "l") and it couldn't find it. The old Garmin used all... more >>

Excellent GPS Navigator...Awesome Voice-Activated Controls

Rated 4 out of 5
This unit functions perfectly as it is described. The voice-activation is nearly perfect. Probably one of the best implementations to date that I can remember. The map is a bit under-detailed for the price but it gets you where you need to go. Voice commands from the unit are very easy to understand. Controls are easy to navigate as are the menu options. One thing that I think is a bit ridiculous is the absence of Bluetooth Hands-Free calling. For $800 they could have included that and it is the reason that I gave it four stars instead of 5. Many of the options included with the device are useless to me to be honest. Games? Picture viewer? MP3 player? I don't need any of these but the voice-commands for unit control are awesome. If you have the money to buy this unit, get it... if not look at some of the lower-priced 700-series Nuvi's more >>
