Review on Garmin 5 Inch Navigator Discontinued Manufacturer by Justin Frazier

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Took an intuitive process and tinkered with it.

Very new to this device although we've been using Garmins for years and love their intuitive simplicity. Our 58LMT is said to be a 2015 product, but the first thing we noticed was that the restaurant section lists places that closed over five years ago. Recommend calling any place that is new to you before you leave the street. Very disappointing (and yes, we've made updates - but if the department wasn't created before 2015, why is it listing places that haven't been around since 2010?) Also, the Address locator isn't intuitive. You must start with a house number and a street, THEN you can enter a city or state. ? Why not start with a condition like our previous Garmins? In DC, if I want to search for something like 600 Main Street in a city, I get a complete list of 600 Main Street in MD, DC, VA, and W.VA. . Or only after entering the street I get the opportunity to change the state in the small box in the upper right corner. When I used the quick search box to find a specific street and city that I know existed, Garmin couldn't find it. Had to go through the process of house number, street etc. to get the selection I wanted and similar in West Virginia. "I'm going to try it out on a multi-state trip, so I'll update later.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Good but not great
