Customer Reviews

Great Customer Service, but Unit's a Bit Quirky
I settled on the Nuvi 650 for the larger screen, text to speech feature and the reasonable price. I've been very satisfied with it, although it has a few quirks. I set my "Home" location based on the satellite coordinates at my house, but the unit locates my home about one-half mile north of where it actually is. Not a huge problem, but the unit constantly "recalculates" when I'm leaving my neighborhood until I get to the main highway. One feature that I thought would be useful was "avoid highways" as I prefer to stay off interstates. However, it literally means avoid all highways, including any US highways and major state routes. This leads to some interesting, off-the-beaten-path routes, but it's a little nerve-racking until you arrive at the correct destination.

The best reason for buying a Garmin has to be their excellent customer service. I called and e-mailed twice with some simple set-up questions. The call was answered with no wait time and the woman who helped me knew what she was talking about and even gave me her direct number in case I had to call back again. The e-mail was responded to promptly and, again, the representative gave me a direct number to call if I had more questions. All-in-all, I'm very happy with the nuvi 650 and would buy it again.

Outstanding value on discontinued model
Get a Garmin!

this is discontinued model new but I don't need any bluetooth or other
fancy features that I will never use.

this item paid for itself the first trip from NC to NJ then NY and back
home again.

Want a specific fast food chain, enter it with the touch screen and bam,
you get the list of closet locations and press GO.

everyone is happy that we had the food we like and the easiest route
around Washington DC avoiding I-95.

great little gadget
I purchased this for our family for when we go on vacation or someplace where we would need directions. I have used this 3 times now and has really been great. For intent, I deliberately went against the route it planned for me but within a minute or so updated and still brought me home the right way and back to the original route.. Love those satellites!!! I would definitely recommend because it is really easy to use will get you where you want to go. I would invest in a bean bag instead of using the suction cup to mount it on the window or dash. That leaves marks and easy target for someone who might think you have a GPS in the vehicle. thanks Garmin!!!!!
