Thanks mate. I was hesitating to buy a new sat nav, as my phone is a bit ropey with Google Maps, but I wasn't sure a Garmin would be much better. I just made the purchase based on your concise video.
I love the sat nav
I've just bought this. I hope I find it useful, I just wish it provided a reminder direction. That would definitely help.

Very good sat nav, have been using it for a while!!!
It was a nice explanation. But i am not sure how you fix it in dashboard, Do i need extra stuffy to buy to fix this ?
I used a disc that I bought off Amazon. This done the job on the dashboard. There is a link in description. But you don’t need that. It comes with a windscreen suction mount.
@@JamesTravis Great, Helpful reply.
Looks perfect just came to see the size nice review.
I love it
Hi there. Does it have a built in camera? Many thanks.
It does have a camera button on screen menu but I have never used it.
Excellent review, thank you - love the dashboard disc. I have a Honda Jazz so I think it would work well where you have put yours.
My pupils thinks it sits well on the disk.
It's an excellent idea. I was going to get one with the air vent mount, but this is a much better solution.
A very late question. Can we search an address in the UK using a UK postcode ?
I put post codes in
Garmin is my favourite satnav maker, really good and easy to follow 👍
How is navigating the map system in the software? I have a really old Garmin that i want to replace because it is so slow to move around the map and zoom in and out, and the touch screen interface is extremely poor. i have to press very hard and when i swipe to move across the map, it lags and often sends the map flying off in one direction.
I only had this Garmin, so I cannot compare with others.
But the touch screen seems easy and soft to respond and easy to navigate through pages.
@@JamesTravis Alright, thanks for your response. I just hate to spend almost $200 only to find it's slightly better or the same. I will keep researching other gps options. Thanks again.
Fantastic thanks buddy
the speed limits shown on display are very low compared to actual inspite of latest update, what to do?
I never knew that. Thanks for sharing info
Just brought one of these to replace my old garmin 510 street pilot so far so good just a small point you cannot have anything on your windscreen that obscures your view that means anything with in the sweep of the wipers or below the sunvisor limit so the dash disc is a good idea I have the disc plus no suction marks on windscreen as well I would love to know more about the reversing camera that is in the setting (ie) where to get it and where to have it fitted
I would think you can get the reversing camera from either amazon or off Garmin website. Let me know if you get one.
Yeah will do but I think I will need to get it fitted by an expert

great video
Nice vid, well presented thank you. 2 questions please ~ Does this unit feature 'safety camera' and speed limit updates? Can i get one with maps for W Europe & GB?
When I have been driving it does warn you of static speed cameras and places where mobile speed camera have been used. It warns you of schools to watch your speed. You can get updates by logging into garmin.
Good video...Thanks!
Does it have lane assist?
On motorways it does inform you which lanes to use
Wonder if there is one for complex roundabouts like 3/4 lane ones.
Ive bought this sat nav but I havent come across the lane guidance at busy junctions and roundabouts. And there is nothing in the settings that can activate it. Help please!
If, it’s come on with me whilst I was driving on motorways. It was telling me which lanes to use.
Ruqia Bibi Lane guidance works on the gps without having to connect it to anything. I have two Garmin GPS units and they both do it on major roads, but not the less used ones.
Better than my old TomTom One which was forever warning not to turn into lay-byes, farm tracks, and on motorways not to take virtually every exit where there's no dedicated lane.
i have just bought this sat nav,,, can you tell me how did you first charge it,,,, can you charge it via usb cable into a mains usb,, as you use for a smartphone... thanks
Hi,
I plugged it in to the 12v cigarette socket and turned off the sat nav.
Learn-to-drive Travis thanks for you reply :) how long for a decent charge, overnight ??? plus there was not much info in the box...
Hi. I bought this the other day. 2 questions. one . . is this supposed to locate all/most speed cameras? I was driving the other on a dual carriage way and cruised past 2 long standing cameras and it didn't tell me anything as i approached them . . . .. . second question . . voice command . . . I am trying to get "voice command" a location, but when i use the voice activation it only gives me a few choices, go home, view categories, history, up ahead . . i would like to be able to voice command it to navigation. i have tried the website and it says . . wake up device and say "find place" but saying "find place" does nothing . .. help please.
Hi, I think it will tell you where speed camera have been established in the past, based off information that Garmin can get from local councils. I don’t think it can locate cameras, but maybe a map update will include the new cameras that you came across.
I have not tried to use voice command so I would not be able to answer that.
Does it not tell you the distance to the next turn like tomtoms do? For example "after 400 yards turn left"?
I think it does. I know it always informs you on the top left corner the distance in miles to your next turn.
I passed my driving test. But my instructor taught me only using the clutch and no gas to set off. I got a petrol car but can't drive it,I always stall!!! what should I do? thank you for any advice.
Set the gas first before lifting clutch to biting point. That should sort it
Here good way to learn find the bite catch point. Now slowly lift your foot you should stat rolling. Depending how fast you pulll you can stall.if you pull slow it will launch or jump at that point it won’t stall.
Now that you know the catch point you can push clutch all the way down. Give it gas say 1k+ around there a little above idle depends on car. Now lift your clutch foot but stop at bite catch point. This is where you balance. Remember doing it with out the gas well this time with the gas will make rolling smoother.while on catch point let out slowly give it more gas if you feel you aren’t moving as fast.
It’s a balancing game just don’t floor it until the car rolls.
You don’t need the gas to roll it helps smooth the starting roll or quicker go. Just practice rolling with clutch till you learn the engage point.
Gas before clutch
Will this help lane assistance???
It will inform you on a motorway which lane you need to be in as you approach a motorway merging
Learn-to-drive Travis awww thanks ,, will it help in roundabout lanes ??
Does it have a more 3D road view rather than the birdseye map view?
Yes
Sorry, i paused you video at the point of the disc, then asked you the question before i un paused it, so you have answered it anyway ; )
They use SatNav for driving tests now?
They dont use them. They test the driver can?
please make more vedios 👍
Every Monday I have a new video out.
what is the foursquare??
I am struggling with using it for location. When I type in a location it gives me different places that is not relevant..is there a better way to search using this thing?
Post code works well
Is the disc still holding it?
Disc has been great. No problems
You reviewing anymore products?
Hi, not at moment until I get contacted.
Hi how can contact u? Let me know please. I really need an instructor like u. Help me pls.
Nicely presented video as usual. Very good sat nav that is which I wouldn't hesitate to buy if I needed replacement sat nav.
I see you're still operating your Nextbase dash cam, how is it working for you? Have you captured anything interesting yet?
Got a good video in the snow. Just need to post it.
Learn-to-drive Travis Good stuff I'll look forward to it.
Does it have like lane assist in junction?
Don’t think so
Will this update with Bluetooth
I don’t know. Never tried
would you say better than Tom Tom?
I have not tried a Tom Tom. Just seen them in operation on driving tests. I like the looks of the Garmin better. Since I have had the Garmin it’s been great.
can you just put the postcode in ???
Yes you can
I'm going to get one for your sake 😂
And my own lol
Hairline going in onni
Whats that got to do with Garmin review?
@@patrickprynn5747 I know its 3 years ago but this made me chuckle. lol
Think he fancied you. lol
Hairline going in on u
Great vlog thank you : )
I have a few questions, the disc that you have on top of your dash, what is it, where did tou get it from & how do you fix it to your dash please?
Thanks in advance.
I don't understand how a sticky back disc can stick to a textured plastic dashboard with any longevity?
Never had a problem with the disc,once I stuck it on that’s it, not come off.
