Advantages: You'll never get lost again!
Disadvantages: sometimes freezes but is easily reset

I love my Garmin! After moving to a new city, it greatly helped me get around without getting lost everytime I left my house. It has great features that you can change and is very easy to use.

Disadvantages: Missing quite a few roads
