nuvi 855 Automobile Navigator (4.3

Oct 29, 2009

Strengths: Good marketing

Weaknesses: Can\'t keep track of where it is. Gets lost and suggest wrong turns. If you pull of to get gas or eat lunch, 50% of the time it sends you the wrong way on startup. The browse map feature is useless.

Summary: 3430There are some real bad algorithms in this unit or it would not get lost so much. If you lose the satellite signal when it comes back on it is confused, and it gives you bad directions. Garmin, you ought to put a delay between getting a satellite signal and starting directions. Also, the routes selected are often not the best, and when you try to override by putting extra way points using the browse map feature, the arrow jumps around and it is very difficult to get it on the point you want. Never pay much attention to the unit if you're in a parking lot, gas station, roadside pullover, or the ilk, as it will not give good directions on what way to go. Our experience is it points you the wrong direction half the time. Once it is confused it takes a long time to get back on track and keeps screaming "RECALCULATING", rather than saying "either you are lost or I am lost, please maintaining your course until I figure it out"

nuvi 855 Automobile Navigator (4.3

May 11, 2009

Strengths: none

Weaknesses: weak audio and continued poor programming

Summary: 3431i am going to return this (which is why i only buy garmin stuff from costco)you would think they would start cleaning up some of their goof's in the programming. I have about three where you are driving down the highway nd it wants you to turn left (where there is no road) one of which would take you over a 150 foot cliff into a river bed..also one would think theye could borrow a speaker system you ould actually hear..also their phone assist service should be called a no help for 1hour and 45 minutes..
