Unknown/Stars are for Garmin Products:
I am sure this item is a good GPS, but the one I purchased stopped working about 10 minutes after turning it on. I love Garmin GPS units, but all you can do is try it to see!!!
Nuvi 785T:
GPS and extra features work well. Bluetooth did not link up with my phone, but otherwise I am happy with the unit.
Impressed but with reservations:

GARMIN DOES NOT HONOR FREE MAP FOR OUTDATED ONE THAT COMES W/ THE UNIT:
Garmin's customer suport has gone down the tubes. I was unable to update the map on my unit as it got stuck - thought it went thru. Getting ready for my trip and discovered the unit is OUT OF DATE and Garmin says, so sorry about your disappointment but you can purchase an updated map. The unit won't even find a Walmart for crying out loud. They said 60 days and its been 90 days but the map wouldn't not load on day 5. SHAME ON YOU GARMIN.
