I purchased the Nuvi 885T to replace a Street Pilot III and a Street Pilot 2610. The GPS technology has come a long way since the earlier Street Pilots and the Nuvi 885T is an example of the cutting edge. I was a bit skeptical regarding the voice activation feature, but after using it I was very impressed. I can't believe how well that feature works.
The Nuvi 885T is loaded with a number of neat features all of which are intuitive and a pleasure to use. What is particularly convenient is the way you can access additional data while driving a route, just touch the screen or say the correct word. I have noticed that the maps are drawn much quicker than the older GPS models and the fact that you can add a micro SD to personalize it makes it even more impressive.
I did notice that the City Navigator North America NT maps included with this unit do not appear to be quite as comprehensive as City Navigator North America 2008. For example the earlier maps included RV Parks/Campgrounds under lodging while the NT version does not. I would also like to have seen elevation presented on the map screen.
All in all, Garmin has done a tremendous job designing the Nuvi 885T.
