Summary
Sometimes I am capable of the most breathtaking hypocrisy, which stuns even me with its magnitude. I scoffed and scoffed at the ubiquity of Garmins, mocked them as overpriced toys for people too lazy to use Mapquest, and figured that with this, as with...
Strength
Bright, colorful screen; easy-to-follow directions that work.
Weakness
No carrying case! No Europe map!
Bottom Line
The Bottom Line patches into GPS satellites using the metal fillings in its molars.
Right out of the box, the Nuvi 650 can get you going pretty much right away even without looking at the instructions. BACKGROUND: One of my cars has a built-in navigator, which usually costs a premium. We concluded that it would be nice to have a...
Strength
Ease of use; large bright screen; good voice prompts; lots of extra features
Weakness
Not the cheapest; speaker could be louder; lots of extra features I won't ever use.
Bottom Line
Recommended for its ease of use, large bright screen, and overall value. Not recommended if you need FM Traffic capability.
Higher Model Number and Price Doesn't Mean It's Better

Summary
I'll start off first by saying that this is a very useful cool device loaded with lots of great features. I'm just a little disappointed that I must give up features to get others. I started out purchasing the Garmin nüvi 250 but my wife said she want...
Strength
Easy to use, read and understand. Great list of point of interest.
Weakness
Flip out antenna, Limited spoken languages, old map data, extra cost accessories, limited dash mounting.
Bottom Line
All in all, a decent unit that does quite a lot straight out of the box. However, a few of annoying glitches.
I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 650 for $350.00. I decided to buy it for my Toyota Camry after renting a Garrmin Nubi 350 with my Dollar Rent A Car rental in Dallas, which I was able to rent for $11.00 per day. I have used GPS devices for some time...
Strength
Price is right, considering the time and gas wasted when you are lost.
Weakness
None, but you need to remove it from your car to prevent theft.
Bottom Line
Buy the Garmin Nuvi 650. It's a reliable device that will save you time, money and gas.
Our Garmin Nuvi is amazing. You will never be lost again. The wide screen allows you to quickly glance at the map. One improvement should be on the feature which helps you search for a restaurant. If you are travelling on the highway, you can ask for...
Strength
Simple to use, clear instructions
Weakness
Wants to send you on the highway and doesn't always know the quickest route.
I just picked up a new one from Costco.com for 299. plus tax and shipping. I don't know how long this deal will last. I received it 5 days after my order. Never had used one before. I bought it for trips, but also use it for local driving. It pointed...
Strength
Very accurate and quickly recalculates if you deviate from the planned route.
Weakness
It doesn't come with AC adapter.
Used USB cable and car plug.
