Because this GPS has been around for a while, the hype has settled and the price has therefore lowered significantly. It has amazing features that the most expensive GPS units offer. The newer model, the GO 730, has the new IQ routes and lane guidance features, however i don't think that these features alone would be worth the extra $100 (50% of the units cost!). The handsfree works perfectly with my verizon LG phone. It connects automatically when I turn the unit on and I can keep my phone in my pocket. The navigation works well and the speaker is loud. The screen is bright and clear. I love that this unit allows you to add POI's and make map corrections right on the device.
There are only a few negatives about the device. First, the suction cup mount isn't sturdy enough. I have tried using it on the windshield and the dashboard mount and on both the unit has fallen down while I was driving on a bumpy road. The only other major negative for me is that the unit has no capability of automatically turning on when I start the car.It has the ability to automatically turn off when the car is powered off, but some Garmin units can supposedly do turn on automatically and it would make life much easier not having to hassle with holding the on button down to turn the GPS on if I am in a hurry. Lastly, there is no volume control button to change the volume. If you want to change the volume, you must go through several menu pages. I have to press preferences, then speaker preferences, then volume, then change the volume. This can be to difficult to do while driving.
