The GPS has worked extremely well for me since purchasing it in June 2008. Recently the battery will not hold a recharge. I followed Garmin advice and completely discharged the device and recharged it. The new charge lasted for about 5 minutes. I was then advised to send the GPS in for a battery replacement for $99. I would have expected a battery to last longer that 21 months.
It's ok but has some usability issues. One thing I CAN NOT stand is not having a QWERTY keyboard layout. Also, satellite link time is annoyingly slow. Having to pay for map updates is lame. Speaker could be better.
I got this as a Christmas gift two years ago (2007) and loved it, though I really would have preferred the internal antenna. I like the charging connection being separate from the USB connection, as it makes attaching and detaching the device from the dashboard mount easier than having to unplug a cable from the back in addition to removing it from the mount.
My problem came almost two years to the day after I got this unit. I wasn't a constant user of the unit, using it primarily when I was traveling to other states or to local parts of town in which I had never traveled, so it's not like this got used and abused; rather, it was always in one of two places: my dashboard or the center console. I had a few occasions in December 2009 when the touchscreen just stopped responding. I figured it was a battery issue and therefore tried plugging it in the cigarette lighter adapter in the car as well as charging it by USB on my computer. It seemed to work the first couple of times, but then two weeks before Christmas, the screen stopped responding. I tried recharging it again to no avail and began looking for others that had this issue. I came upon a GPS repair site that said Garmin devices with serial numbers beginning with "14V" were prone to this problem, and that the touchscreen would never work again without a replacement. Seeing as how replacement touchscreens cost half the price of a new device with similar functions, it is not worth the cost of repair.
I'm just glad I didn't buy the lifetime map subscription, since it would have only gotten me one year's worth of updates. I honestly expected more out of Garmin, since my father had an old Garmin V GPS from the late 90s that's still going strong. The difference between them? His can't be rendered useless by a bum touchscreen since its input is done with physical buttons.
All in all, the device worked great while I had it; I'm just majorly disappointed that I essentially paid $150 per year to own this and could not get any further use out of it without paying for a costly repair.
This is an outstanding GPS that I bought for my mother for Christmas last year. I've owned the the Nuvi 350 for years and as long as they continue to offer maps for it, I will not upgrade b/c it's that good. The 650 basically is the same but with a wide screen. I'm not going to further review the product since I purchased it as a gift but I felt compelled to post a review when I saw the price of this unit compared to my last year's purchase. I bought the same "new" unit last year for $198.00 and I see that this year it is selling for $499.00. I've also noticed the Nuvi 350 is being sold for $359.00 when last year it was sold for $159.00. Granted, mine was purchased directly from Amazon, LLC. and these are being sold by third parties but for those who may be price conscious, it may be of value to know that these are actually Garmin's older units. They were first introduced when I purchase my Nuvi 350 four years ago. There are newer Garmin units for half the price. As good as this unit is, I would either buy one of the newer ones or wait for the price to come down.

I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present last year and he LOVES it! He takes it every where with him especially on business trips. He told me he can't believe he didn't get one sooner!
