  1. Garmin nüvi 5000 Travel Assistant This product has a large screen, good. The operations took me a while to understand. I even tried to translate one of the msny other languages. No luck! I couldn’t get the thing to turn on. I called customer Support, their answer to my problem was to send me another one. More time waisted. When I couldn’t get the second one to work, I realized that it had to be me, not the machine. I called again. This time I didn’t accest their simple answers. I had tried them all before. It’s working a little now, but I am sick of the problems. They have offered to take them both back. Good by you pain you!

    Oh by the way it doesn’t have a battery, because it doesn’t use a battery! I’m supposed to sit in my truck for 15 -20 minutes and figure this out? I’m not that bright!

  2. Garmin, how do I hate thee; let me count the ways…

    This Garmin has no internal battery. That means that every time I turn the car off, the Garmin has to reboot & reacquire satellite lock again. This delay is no issue if I’m driving all day, but on short trips, it is maddening. Garmin makes models with an internal battery, but the 5000 lacks one. This alone means that nobody should ever buy this unit. Boo Garmin!

    Second, the Garmin doesn’t remember the city you last used. This means that every time you want to enter a destination, you have to retype the city. Again, this feature alone should prevent one from ever buying a Garmin. The TomTom One that I bought for less than half the price of this Nuvi 5000 conveniently displays a list of recently used cities that you can select with a single touch. BOO Garmin!

    Third, the Garmin doesn’t remember the streets that you’ve most recently used. The TomTom conveniently displays a list of recently visited streets (AND their addresses) so that you don’t have to retype. BOO Garmin!

    Fourth, the Garmin has routing, but it doesn’t quite work. One can enter up to five addresses in a “route,” and then ask the Garmin to optimize the best way to get between them. Should you opt to actually deviate from the entered route, though, the Garmin gets lost & tries to drive you back “home.” This “routing” feature was the reason I bought this Garmin (my first) at all. Previously, I’d used only TomToms that lacked routing. “Disappointed” is too mild a word to express my feelings on the Nuvi’s routing. I have yet to get a route that worked from beginning to end. BOO Garmin!

    Fifth, the Garmin has profoundly cryptic names for streets (and LACKS many streets that have been around for years!). I tried to navigate to an intersection of a local highway and an interstate highway. The Garmin would not find “I-10″ or “Interstate 10″ or any other variation! Unlike the TomTom, that is not only generous in allowing naming variations but also immediately displays a list of matches that gets shorter as you enter letters, the Nuvi won’t display ANY matches unless you have a “short list” that exactly match your entry. BOO Garmin!

    To summarize, the Garmin Nuvi 5000 is not user friendly, does not work as advertised, and is the worst GPS that I’ve ever owned. If anyone wants to buy this dog cheaply, contact me! Otherwise, it is going out at my next yard sale. This device reminds me again of why I happily buy TomTom products. BOO GARMIN!!!

  4. I have several Nuvis 770 and 11490. All are good, but the large screen is my favoryte
