- Nice unit, bulky
This is a nice older unit, had it for years. Touchpad on screen doesn't work well anymore, but with remote is functional.

- Broken Car Adapter after 11 months
The Garmin 2620 works well, but car adapter is broken after 11 months. Car adapters for 2610, 2620, 2720, etc have the same problems

- Hard drive failed on two seperate models
When the unit is working, it is a 4-5 star unit. I received my first 2620 for Mother's Day 2 years ago. I live in Fl and have traveled all over FL, Hawaii, Alaska, NY, Canada, Washington, PA, and most of the east coast states. There were road updates and many points of interest that were out of date but overall this system, we named Betty, has been a life saver. Before the warranty expired in the first year, "Betty" would continue to recycle the boot up screen.

Garmin customer service was great. They stated that this had been a known problem in some units and replaced her free of charge. They even transferred all the way points. Within another year, the second unit is now having the same problem. Garmin has offered the option to fix/replace the second unit for $150.00 and a 3 month warrenty.

I plan on doing more homework into other GPS models to ensure I will be able to get more than a year use of them before I spend another dollar.

- You're better off with a Paper Map and so is your wallet !!!
After just a mere year of owning my Garmin 2620 and probably less than 20 effective uses of it I am completely dissapointed on it's reliability, paid over 800 USD for it in Amazon when it was their latest model, took care of it like any other electronic device (didn't drop it or splash it with liquid), one day while using it the screen went completely blue, did everything mentioned on the users manual, garmin's knowledge base and even contacted their customer service trying to get my gadget back to operational life, after doing everything mentioned without success I was suggested by their customer service dept. to send it back for a check up, got a list of their closest service centers and decided to go to Best Buy, just 50 USD for opening it without any further guarantee that it would be back to life, pretty much 50 for getting my gadget in a carboard box with the store's logo on it and so my 2620 went back to Garmin and worse came to worst when I was told it would cost 400 USD to fix it eventhough I registered it on the very first day I bought it, but being asked 50% of the price I paid for it to get it fixed, where's that commonsense ? don't get me wrong their customer service is superb they respond very quickly to all your emails but for this kind of news I'd rather have a dependable piece of equipment than a second to none service dept. A new GPS goes for less than what I was told it would fix my 2620 and it is just a mere two years old...

As for me I think I'll go old fashion and buy me a paper map like I used to in the old days, but If you're serious about buying a GPS do yourself a favor go for Magellan, Tom Tom or any other brand but Garmin ? no thanks what a rip off ! Good Luck.

- Overall good unit
Pros:

Got me where I need to go vast majority of time
Good route options - e.g. city, non-toll road, etc
Detour - invaluable

Cons:

Power adapter which would reboot unit with the slightest touch
System would continue to say "recalculating" if you missed a turn - a bit annoying after a while
Bulky - not practical to remove from vehicle all the time
