It happend me now 3 times that on a crucial moment I couldn't see the sreen if the light hits it all you can see is yourself
The screen is way to reflective .
And lane assist is only available on major high ways.
The clasp is un handy.
The graphics are small.
How this can be Garmins flagship is be on me . This aas clearly not properly tested on the road .
Be warned .

As for graphics being small again I find them okay, but there is a 6 inch version if you struggle with the 5 inch.
Lane Assist is what it is. It's never been available at every junction, ever since Garmin introduced it, but I find most major ones are covered. If not there are normally road signs you can follow ;)
For the reflexion problem I want it on my wind screen. Not down deep in the car where I have to look down .
And suggesting that you can look at the sign posts yes you can follow them but that is not what the gps systems are made for.
For the mounting a magnetic system is much easier that clicks in place. By the drive smart you have to gues and try to find the mounting on the back.
I keep saying that the silk finished screen of the nuvi255 is by far superior you will never have reflexion problems there.

As for not reading road signs, I disagree. Having a GPS doesn't absolve the driver from looking at the road signs, your GPS is a guide not something to be followed religiously.
Greetings over and out .
Basically it means tilting the screen up. I dislike having any device on the windsheild (or windscreen as you guys call it ;) ). It's a constant distraction. I would prefer to glance down at the GPS when needed. But of course that's just personal preference. Regardless, see if you can tilt it up enough so it reflects the ceiling.
Regarding the rest, well I'd say "it is what it is". But if you don't like the mounting system, why did you buy it? ;)
