Garmin fails to tell you their Lane assist does not Work. When I contacted them about this they said it only currently worked in a few cities. They did say would would be adding more cities in the future. When they are added you will have to purchase a map update to get it to work. They will not tell you what cities are going to be added or when they will be. If you want the lane assist you will...
Strengths: none
Weakness: alot
Anyone considering buying this product should think more than twice. Do a google search and you will see all the problems. Unit freezes, riddled with problems, had to return twice so far.
Strengths: WAAS enabled, excellent voice recognition and remote, one of ONLY TWO Garmins that support Avoidances by road name (the other is the 855), beats the 1xxx series with its audio jack; removable battery
Weakness: Froze once while navigating but returned within 10 seconds; Favorites menu displays "None Found" very often; can't hear loudly it in noisy situations if not using audio out/fm transmitter.
I did extensive research before buying this. I also own a Garmin 760 and a Streetpilot 2820 (broke). My priority for a GPS unit was to have WAAS, Junction view, audio out, and specific road avoidances (so that the routing engine doesn't force me on a road I don't want). The 885T has what I want plus voice recognition. The weaknesses in my opinion are something that a software update can fix....
Strengths: Garmin name.
Weakness: Features do not work as expected.
If you are interested in this unit, I strongly recommend also looking at the Magellan 4700 for over 100 dollars less. Whats the point in having lane assist if its not really in the product? Returned it for the Magellan and its lane assist actually works and works well. This Garmin is garbage. Too many useless features packed into one device. Wants to be everything to everybody but does non of it...

Garmin 885T Outstanding - BuyDig 100% Reliable...
Strengths: Garmin 885T Excellent Map Set and Display, Lane Assist of real value, High Sensitivity Receiver, Voice Recognition works Splendidly, Blue Tooth for Cellphone excellent. Intuitive and fun!
Weakness: FM transmitter somewhat underpowered in crowded FM band regions; adequate on quiet frequency. Less important as you would not likely keep tuned to your GPS for long periods of time.
Overall, I am delighted with the Garmin 885T. There is nothing on the horizon that is a feature/price/quality equivalent. The voice recognition is not a gimmick; it works splendidly, and is the only safe way to alter programming or switch modes or screens while driving. Blue tooth hands free phone audio quality was excellent as well. Lastly, I must say that BuyDig has longitudinally been 100%...
