I read though all of the information on the Garmin 88T and thought it would be a great GPS. When I received it I called MSN for my free three month trial and was told that MSN was not supported in my area. from Amazon.com This is my third Garmin GPS. I wished I loved it but I don't. from Amazon.com Pros: Automatic Bluetooth telephone connection and excess of all contact list in the phone. No pairing process needed. from Amazon.com Bought this for my husband because I had trouble hearing him talking on his cell phone when he was in his car. Works great. from Amazon.com I recently upgraded from the Nuvi 760 to the Nuvi 885t, it's now more than a month since I played around with it and the more I use it the more flaws I uncover. For starter the POI are extremely slow to search beyond usable time, and at times the touch respond command on the screen lagged several times during POI search, the streets names on the map do not appear or at times lagged or every other street names pop up and some do not pop up and at times the street names pop up as I pass the street a block away, how useless is that? from Amazon.com The 885T provides an excellent map, rapid recalculation of routes and vivid display. I especially like the 3D presentation and the option to use in bicycle or pedestrian mode. from Amazon.com This is the GPS to get if you want to talk to your unit to free your hands from having to touch the display, say, in heavy traffic,etc. as it does do a good job recognizing voices, even when there is some road noise. from Amazon.com I really wanted to like this. I really did! from Amazon.com The 885T is overall a good, but not excellent, product. Some of the short comings include: not being very good in providing the most accurate routes to take (round about routes are sometimes offered) and not allowing one to select "fastest time" or "shortest distance" at the moment a "where to" selection is made. from Amazon.com The first unit was shipped missing accessories and Amazon rushed a replacement unit(Kudos to Amazon). The "Free" update took 4 aborted attempts and then 2.5 hours to download on a T1 line. from Amazon.com
