 cute but not enough January 8, 2009
Bought this for my daughter, she thought it was cute, but did not have the add on features she would of liked, so she returned it for one that suited her geek nature.
 Needs newer maps which are not available January 8, 2009
I bought this from Amazon as a Christmas present for my wife. When we first turned it on, roads around our neighborhood were missing. Some of these roads have existed for at least 5 to 6 years. We thought that when we registered it through Garmin's website, we would be offered a map update that would correct this. The only map we were offered was for Europe. Since we live in Tennessee, this didn't help the situation. These roads are our primary way in and out of the neighborhood. So, every trip starts by sending us in the opposite direction. When I go the way that I know, it tells me to make a U-turn.
We went to Sheffield Alabama last Saturday and used it to find the restaurant that we were going to. When we were nearly there, it told us to turn right and then stated that we were arriving at the destination on the right. The restaurant was nowhere to be found. We had to call the restaurant to find out where they were. Turns out that we needed to turn left instead of right and the location was about a mile on the right. On the trip to Sheffield, I looked at the display while driving on US Hwy 43 and noticed that it looked like I was driving through a field instead of on the road.
 What a time/frustration saver! January 7, 2009
We received a Garmin Nuvi from our daughter & son-in-law prior to a 2-month trip to Alaska and couldn't believe how easily we could find the nearest Walmart, certain brands of gas, or the dentist office in an emergency. When we got home, they asked to borrow it, so we decided to get them the Garmin Nuvi 270 for Christmas. They've had a ball with it in just the short time they've had it. Also got a GREAT price on it at Amazon!
