1 Rating and Review for Garmin 500 Car GPS
QuoteFrank says
  • I'm tempted to give this Garmin car GPS 4 stars. With an 8 hour battery life, points of interest, traffic updates and other built in features, it's definitely a GPS that can take you where you want to go.
  • I took a closer look and wasn't overly impressed, especially for the price. 320X240 pixels is pretty ordinary and I prefer a larger screen. For the money, I think it's just average.

Overall: You can always count on Garmin, but does Garmin count on you to pay extra for the Garmin name? I would compare this with some TomTom and other car GPSs before forking over my money.
