Review on Garmin 4 3 Inch Portable Discontinued Manufacturer by Quvarious Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It was actually better than I expected

It worked for what I wanted. It was actually better than I expected. But I didn't understand a bit about the coverage when I bought it, I have lifetime updates for the bottom 48, but even though Alaska (where I live) was on the screen, I had to buy an additional map of Alaska and it doesn't come with any updates. Without an additional map none of the Garmin functions worked. I live in Anchorage and wanted to use it a few days before my trip to understand the controls and features. That's probably not a problem for most people, but I was vacationing in the Four Corners and didn't manage to trade this model for one that would cover Alaska with free map updates. I landed in LA and didn't want to get stuck in local freeway traffic with no updates running. I rented a car and the cost of this device was much less than the rental company wanted to rent a GPS. I really enjoyed using it on my trip. It was invaluable for navigating several major metropolitan areas and very handy for finding your way back to motels or restaurants when traveling. It worked great.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Plenty
