GARMIN 4.3" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Traffic & Map Updates GARMIN 4.3" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Traffic & Map Updat

This thing is pretty reliable, and reasonably accurate. The suction cup mount is a lot more reliable than my previous model

Voice command/recognition is almost worthless for anything other than saved places ; When it gets very hot, the audio cuts out until it cools down. This happens maybe once or twice a month during the summer ; It could never compete with models that are...

Fast update, screen is a nice size, & best of all easy to use

None

Couldn't be more simple to operate. The basic functions of entering a destination have been semi-automated to an amazing degree. The improvement in graphics was a knock-out; as was the improved keyboard

None

I drive between 5 and 10,000 miles each month, and this is the best of 4 GPS's that I have owned ; The traffic app is good, but sometimes it can put you in a bad spot

Traffic is misleading when I am on Long Island NY expressways ; The GPS will try to take me off the major roads, and rout me through Brooklyn, and Manhattan to get around traffic jams ; Problem is those city streets are not reported to the traffic...

Easy to set up and update. Looks nice and the 3d features are good. Traffic is ok, when it actually works and is up to date

Several glaring issues that I have had over the past few years that I thought updates would fix ; First- The voice navigation doesn't work half the time. I will say the street names loud and clearly and it will give me something totally different. This...

My previous GARMIN was a Nuvi 200 without lifetime maps. So, this Garmin was quite an improvement for me. I bought a refurbished model to save even more money and I had no problem with it at all. I bought this new GPS to take with me on a ski trip at...

Updating the maps proved to be tricky and time consuming. Allow several hours for this to complete. I had to start this over several times turning the unit and my web browser on and off several times to get the device firmware and maps loaded. It...

Rated as the top GPS in Consumer reports ; Works as advertised ; Menus are very easy to navigate ; Traffic function works well here on the east coast NC to ME...so I disagree with posts on radio signal being poor ; small, thin and easy to read screen ;...

I had only one time that traffic function didn't work and I was stuck in traffic a little longer than I would have liked while traveling up north ; no other cons....get a bag, case or garmin's case to store when not in use. Keep this screen looking...

I bought a 3790 (which newegg sells for 260). The 3790 has the same hardware as this model the 3470. It is easy to flash the 3470 firmware onto the 3490. Do that and your 3790 has been converted into a 3490

None. Flash is easy

Voice activation and recognition work well; blue tooth speakerphone is just enough; routing is ok, if you don't need real time traffic information; nice and thin (do we really care??)

Traffic signal is not received by the unit (based on comments in Garmin forums, this appears to be a known issue with the GTM 60 traffic receiver/power cable combination); FM coverage is spotty; FM receiver cable that lays across your dash-board could...
