Wonderful Movie with Plenty of Laughs
This is a great movie with plenty of laughs, adventure, and excitement. I absolutely love the classical lines, characters, and shortfalls of Professor Fate.
Caution: While this movie is "Not Rated," it is mostly "G" rated content except for some discussion of sex (no suggestive scenes, just discussion). If you plan on viewing this with young ones, be prepared for awkward questions.

2 of 2 found this helpful For simply wanting a tool to help me get from location to location, I got that and much more. While I can't offer a comparison against other products, I do wish to point out some strong and weak points of this GPS.
The GPS comes with an ease-of-use design to help you get information you need ASAP. What I find helpful about this is in situations where you need to find something in your area but you don't exactly know where it is. Using tools such as Points of Interest, Cities, Intersection, Parking, or Where am I will help you find anything from the nearest doughnut shop to the nearest police station.
Also included are tools to make your drive faster, more efficient, or more pleasant. Device settings let you specify calculation for faster drive time, shorter distance, less fuel, prompted (whatever that means), or off road. Avoidances help you specify what you want to avoid when your GPS navigates. Options include U-Turns, Highways, Toll Roads, Traffic (more on this in a moment), Ferries, Carpool Lanes, and Unpaved Roads.
Also included natively are two methods of getting around traffic. The first is a no-cost feature which I think doesn't provide as much avoidance as it does recognition of specific events at certain times. myTrends will pick up on traffic trends based on a comparison of your speed versus the known speed limit for the road you're driving on. However, this requires you drive through the traffic a few times before myTrends picks up on it.
I much prefer the second option which costs some money. I purchased a lifetime traffic receiver (GTM35) which plugs into your car's 12V DC cigarette lighter and connects to the back of your Garmin's car mount. It's basically the same as the car charger which comes with the GPS. The only difference is the charger supplies traffic data to your GPS.
CAUTION: As with anything GPS, traffic warnings are extremely distracting! Please, and I stress the importance of this, DO NOT attempt to view traffic information while driving! It's as bad as texting and driving which is why retrieving traffic information is a major down-side of this GPS. In order to see traffic information, you have to:
1. Press the traffic icon.
2. Press View Traffic icon.
3. Read the traffic info for traffic distance, location, and time.
4. (optional) Decide if this will impact you and if you want to try a shorter route.
If you absolutely have to know what's out there while driving, have a passenger press the buttons and read the info to you.
As for the up-side... If the GPS knows of an alternate route which will get you there faster than going through the traffic jam, it will automatically recalculate and start navigating you on a new route around the traffic. Within one month of usage, this device saved me nearly 2 hours worth of driving in traffic! That's well worth the price tag as it pays for itself in saved fuel.
Unfortunately, with all these tools, there's very little storage space. This the the final down-side to this GPS as I found myself having to remove language text files from my GPS to facilitate GPS database updates from Garmin. You'd think Garmin would ensure there's enough space for their own updates, but that's not always true.
All-in-all, this is a great GPS and gets the job done if you're out to navigate. In addition, you have a lot of nifty tools to help you along the way. Please don't forget, driving is not the time to play around with these tools and discover what they do.

5 of 5 found this helpful This is an excellent GPS with a large touch-screen which makes for easy viewing. If you're looking to find your way, avoid traffic, find local attractions, find nearby services, or simply find your way on confusing streets or through confusing cities, this GPS is for you.
The GPS has a very clean and easy-to-use design. Simple menus help you get the information you need ASAP. Using tools such as Points of Interest, Cities, Intersection, Parking, or Where am I will help you find anything from the nearest doughnut shop to the nearest police station.
Also included are tools to make your drive faster, more efficient, or more pleasant. Device settings let you specify calculation for faster drive time, shorter distance, less fuel, or off road. Avoidances help you specify what you want to avoid when your GPS navigates. Some options are U-Turns, Highways, Toll Roads, Ferries, Carpool Lanes, and Unpaved Roads.
Perhaps one of the most powerful tools which I find useful with this GPS is traffic avoidance. Using the included Garmin GTM35 charger, you can receive traffic alerts. I've found this feature useful on numerous occasions and it has already saved me over 2 hours worth of driving through traffic. That's a lot of fuel saved! Please note, the traffic receiver does not work unless you're in a NAVTEQ Traffic-RDS reception area. For a complete list, visit:

Lastly, I love how the GPS provides lane assistance, highlighting the lane you should be in to make it to your destination. If that weren't enough, the GPS will display images of some (not all) exits which are highly detailed. Overlaid on the exit image is an arrow pointing out which way you need to drive to reach your destination. Combined with detailed spoken directions, it's hard to make a wrong turn on even the most confusing roads.
I only have two disappointments:
1. Too much information! Don't use this to find your way until you've "test driven" it on a route you know. While this tool is simple, straight-forward, and easy to use, there's so much information available you should familiarize yourself with the information, its functions, and how the GPS reacts on a familiar route before you harness its powers to drive an unfamiliar route.
2. The traffic information button sits right below the clear/cancel route button. If you're on a bumpy road or you miss the traffic information button, you could accidentally hit the clear/cancel route button.
I can't offer a good comparison with other GPS products. However, all things considered, Garmins are expert navigators which is my primary reason for buying this GPS. I also liked the idea of lifetime traffic, maps, and a large 5" touch-screen display. However, I got far more than than these obvious traits which is why I love this product.
