"The sat nav was really easy to set up and arrived with enough of a charge to enable use straight away. It is small enough to be un-obtrusive on the windscreen.
I would recommend."

Pros: small
Cons: lack of 3.5mm headphone socket
"Good for the price, small and compact, the directions are prompt and clear!
My only criticism is due to the lack of a headphone socket.
I admit I hadn't noticed it missing on the specifications, but it would've been nice, especially so I could use it on the motorbike from time to time.
Ah well, still very pleased with it!"

Pros: clear instructions, speed camera warning, speed limit indicator, motorway signs on screen
"I am really pleased with this product, I have used it on 2 unfamiliar journeys now, one of them long distance and it worked perfectly. The small screen is not an issue at all, the voice instructions are clear, it tells you the speed limit and even beeps when there are speed cameras. Everything you could need and for a great price!
Only slight issue is the speed it says you are going tended to be about 4mph less than my speedometer so that could be confusing. Otherwise a great product!"

Pros: fast to calculate route
Cons: small screen
"When ordering online I didnt think the smaller screen would be an issue. I drive a hatchback so wouldnt be that far away from it and didn't think I'd mind a small screen. But when seeing the actual unit, it is very small! And for only £10 more I went for the Nuvi 40 for UK and ROI. This unit I couldn't recommend more. From my experience of tomtoms this garmin also calculates routes and triangulates your position a lot quicker than the TomToms too!"

Pros: the precise instructions, the up to date quick finding process
"This is an excellent Sat Nav. The price is affordable to anybody. Superior to the last one I paid three times the price for. Quieter speaking voice, which does not drone on. Much more precise instructions, always quoting the road or street I should be taking. I bought on line and collected at my local Halfords store, where the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Have used it on two long journeys recently and am more than pleased with the results."

Pros: that halfords fitted it to the windscreen for me
"My old garmin sat nav which was over 5 years old failed; I tried a cheap sat nav that I had been given by a friend, but it couldn't find where it was if it was cloudy or misty, & when it did it was slow & unreliable.
The Garmin Nuvi 30 can find where I am fast when it is switched on, is easy to use, to find addresses (I love that it now tells you what road are turning into, & not just a left or right). It is great at finding petrol, or parking, or other info I need when travelling. It also gives all the info I need on it's clear & easy to read display."

"This good, compact model does just what it sets out to do - show you where to go and how to get there without a lot of beeps and fuss. It is small enough to be part of the car, but big enough to see and do the job. It does not nag with endless messages. It does however have pronounciation problems on some obscure roads which makes life interesting! Good all-rounder and well worth the money."

"This review is more about customer support than the product.
Whilst I am generally happy with the, Nuvi30 it did "wipe it's memory", after about 3 months of use. Consequently, would not connect to a PC.
However, it was James at Stratford on Avon Halfords, who took the time, ( his own time ), to find out of a weird screen touch on boot up, that enables the maps to be reloaded.
He returned the unit, good to go. Thanks a lot James !"

Pros: easy to setup & use
Cons: lack of charging info
"product is excellent. I have used built in sat nav before. Only critique I have is of Garmin's lack of info ref charging the device. They obviously want you to buy their expensive charger. You can charge the device with a standard usb cable (not their expensive one) from your computer or any source of a usb 5v outlet. You don't have to rely on charging from your car.
Was eager to try sat nav out & went to somewhere I've never been, encountered a very extensive set of roadworks & the Garmin got us to our destination & return without problem. Impressed."

Pros: cheap, does exactly what a satnav should
Cons: long winded to save or change preferences
"It does everything a satnav needs to do, saves favourites, navigates from location A to location B, warns of speed cameras.
Some of the functionality is very basic and saving things or changing settings can be long winded. However, it is cheap and works quickly."
