Garmin 850 - Some features needed to be improved

Does everything as advertised, yet some features not as thought out as Magellin products. A remote control button is needed to access voice commands? Why not just have that built in all the time? The menus get too many layers deep to do many of the functions. So many features that you can get lost in the menus trying to do the simple and frequently needed items. The voices available give you lots of choices, but none are really clear and easy to understand. The data is missing some pretty important info (LAPD’s stations near my place, several of my fave restaurants).

Garmin 850 - Excellent GPS Navigator…Awesome Voice-Activated Controls

This unit functions perfectly as it is described. The voice-activation is nearly perfect. Probably one of the best implementations to date that I can remember. The map is a bit under-detailed for the price but it gets you where you need to go. Voice commands from the unit are very easy to understand. Controls are easy to navigate as are the menu options. One thing that I think is a bit ridiculous is the absence of Bluetooth Hands-Free calling. For $800 they could have included that and it is the reason that I gave it four stars instead of 5.

One problem is known to exist on this model , and that is it doesn`t turn off sometimes when you think it does and the battery dies.But sense its for the car it plugs in and charges itself while you drive, so unless you use it on foot there is no problem.This gps will find anything if your looking in the right catagory.(THE RIGHT CATAGORY IS KEY).
