The Garmin nuvi 880 I purchased thru Amazon WAS DEFECTIVE. YES, DEFECTIVE. I CONTACTED GARMIN AND THEY EACHANGED FOR ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. THEY WERE WONDERFUL. AMzon SHOULD CHECK PRODUCTS IF THEY ARE IN WORKING CONDITIONS BEFORE SHIPPING THEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES FROM AMAZON AGAIN.
PLEASE, DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR EXPLANATIONS OR FOLLOW UP. OK? I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT.

is the latest addition to GPS technology, the only negative point in my case, you do not have support for speech recognition in Portuguese, but the rest is fantastic. perfect.

Purchased via Amazon for 1/2 the price of the same unit at Best Buy. 90% accurate and extremely helpful refinding the freeway ramp in an unfamiliar city or town. Need to review some route choices that could place you on a two lane vs the freeway for a more direct route. Modify as you see fit. MSN Direct useful but not available in very many places.

I purchased this unit because I wanted the MSN Direct link with updated information, traffic, etc as well as the ability to ‘talk’ to the GPS while driving and these features work great. Where I find my greatest disappintment is with the advanced waring of upcoming turns or exits on the highways. I have found several times the information spoken is not correct and it comes much too late to make any changes. What I mean by this is the unit tald me to stay to the left for an exit, but once we got to 20 feet before the actual exit it said to exit on the right. I also feel the announcements for turns should be given with greater distance from the turn or exit. It seems that you are always at the intersection or exit before it lets you know “This is where you turn or exit”. I wish Garmin would make it announce with a little more time or distance from the turn or exit. I hope I have said this enough. Overall the rest of system seems to work well. (I was told by a friend as a comparison the 660 calculates routes much faster than the 880) I hope Garmin comes up with a firmware update to change the announcment distance to give you time to react.
