Currently I have the 780 model...reasons why I would not get this model:
>>no bluetooth, no mp3 player auto start, no 3-d buildings, no smooth scrolling<<< A small and not obvious feature in the 780 model BUT NOT in the 855 model is the mp3 player auto start. Think of it like a cd player in your car that would not turn off. For some people like me, my music is always on in my car. SO I need the music to be always on even if the gps powered OFF and ON. This way I don't have to always fiddle with the gps mp3 player every time I'm in the car. Garmin is the only gps that has this neat feature. It's too bad they took this feature out in the 855 model which means you have to turn the mp3 player on everytime the gps power on instead of the music turning on automatically for you. As far as the voice commands, it is pretty much useless. It is sluggish, there's a lag when you talk to the gps like you have to wait for the response, certain commands required 4-5 steps in order to accomplish a task. "name place" command didn't work well for me and I don't even have an accent. You can get a task done faster using your finger than your voice on the unit. I had their top of the line model with this voice command feature and it was trash ....so i returned the unit. Better luck next time Garmin. You are on top of the gps war.Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 855 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition.
