Reviews of the Garmin Nuvi 880

CNET Review
The Good: The Garmin Nuvi 880 crams in a number of features, including text-to-speech functionality, MSN Direct services, and Bluetooth, into a compact design. The portable navigation system offers the best and most accurate speech recognition capabilities we've seen to date.
The Bad: The Nuvi 880 is expensive, and route calculations can be sluggish.
