nuvi rocks - just don't try to talk to itDate: 2008-12-02 Rating: 10 out of 10This is an outstanding product. Works GREAT with my Mac! Telephone support has been outstanding as well. It is a little pricey right now and I have not had luck using the voice activated system to work.
Get the one year MSN deal. It is well worth it. It saves mucho time by avoiding traffic congestion!

BewertungenGreat GPSDatum 2008-12-01 Rang: 8 von 10My wife and I chose this Garmin because of the very robust speech recognition feature. We wanted to be able to drive and 'talk' to the device, because, frankly, pushing buttons while driving is distracting at best and dangerous at worst. This GPS fits the bill perfectly. I have an accent and the device still recognized my verbal commands. The interface is the typical Garmin interface, created with the user in mind. Also, the integrated traffic reciever works well, and traffic conditions in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are fairly accurate. Routing is precise and fast; but if you're familiar with an area, it may not select your favorite back roads. Also, the area we live in is recent and many roads are not in the the latest map that came with the device. I wish there was an option to teach the device new roads, but that's ok; surely, the new map will have that taken care of. Same for the points of interest: many aren't there, and closed businesses are not reflected. But that's fine. Another thing, here in Texas, highways have frontage roads that run parallel to them, and many times the device fails to distinguish them, so you're not sure if you need to go on the actual highway, or stay on the side roads... again, no biggie. We bought this device for its great speech recognition, and to us safety was worth the price we paid. Other devices have speech recognition (some TomToms) but they do not work reliably at all (I tested one). So, if speech recognition is important to you, this is virtually the only device to consider. Btw, do not buy from internet sites that advertise this GPS for much less than here. They're all scams and try to get you with accessories. If you don't get accessories (e.g., sell you 2GB SD card for $200 instead of $20) then they cancel your order. Here's the problem with GarminDatum 2008-11-28 Rang: 2 von 10I have had a Garmin 2610 since 2004. I decided to buy this unit for my wife. We both could not get the system to understand the numbers we were speaking for the address and I had to hand type them in. It was also hit and miss on names and other voice recognition tasks. I have a 2007 Highlander Hybrid so the car is quiet.
Also, something as simple as the MPH does not show up when using the route feature. The MPH is there when you aren't routing but not there when you are routing. The posted speed of the street is shown on the screen but not the speed you are traveling. Huh?
Garmin won't update the system with this feature even though they added the ability to choose what shows up on the screen in their newer line of GPS'like the 7x5. Yes that is right, even though this model is only 5 months old, they consider it an old model.
I talked to their customer service several times and they told me that it wouldn't get fixed in the 880 but was fixed in the 7x5 series which doesn't have voice recognition. Seems a bit expensive if you can't have all you had in an old Garmin model, 2610, plus the extras of the 880.
I give it a low rating because Garmin has become a company with too many products and no longer listen to their customers. Consumer Reports says its the best so I wondering if they actually used it under real conditions and was tested by someone that had a GPS before. Garmin works great...Datum 2008-11-24 Rang: 10 von 10Recently purchased this product for present for fiance. No problems at all and the unit works wonderfully. Not all features have been tried yet, so the review is for basic performance of navigating. The voice recognition has not been tested and the MSN function has not been activated yet.
Pros: Directions are spot on. When taking a different route to the one Garmin calculates, the recalculations are quick and provide excellent directions on the fly. Maps are easy to see and read, and volume is more than enough to hear with music on in background.
Cons: The Garmin voice mispronounces some of the street names. It is more of a mumble than anything, but when using it this weekend, the unit pronounced the street we needed to turn on horribly and I was a bit confused. Looking at the map on the unit showed me the correct street.
Used the device to navigate into downtown Dallas for the opera this past weekend to an area I had never been to or driven to. We arrived at the opera house without any problems, and when I took a slightly different route to the one provided due to construction, we were provided with recalculated directions within seconds. I am eager to test the other functions on the unit, but I am very happy with this device and feel more confortable driving to areas I am unfamiliar with.Another excellent Garmin productDatum 2008-11-18 Rang: 10 von 10The 880 is another excellent Garmin product. I previously had a C550 and enjoy the larger screen. MSNDirect is a great add on although you have to be near a fairly large city to get updates. Voice command is the biggest plus, although at times(very rare)it does have a hard time understanding certain commands. Not sure if it is caused by areas with heavy road noise or my voice. The only thing that does not work is the FM transmitter, it is scratchy and useless.
