I had a Garmin GPS III + last, which had been very useful for many years but it was time for a more up-to-date device. I looked at several reviews before I decided on the Nuvi. I was leaning towards some cheaper units from some different brands until I looked at the screen size and lots of comments on the other units not having good routing algorithms and not allowing for recalculations if you go off the route. This was a major selling point for me. I like to treat the GPS directions as indications, not as the only choice of route so I loved that I could miss a turn and it would give me a route in the direction I was headed.
The points of interest did take me a couple hours to figure out completely but now I can copy waypoints from my old GPS II + onto my Nuvi 610.

I plan on using the Nuvi 610 for work, to get me where I need to be at each day on time. It’s a big responsibility but so far it seems to be doing a better job than I did at it.
