It's a mystery why the Audiovox NVX226 lists for $599, since it doesn't have any of the advanced features we'd expect at that price. There's no Bluetooth, MP3 player, or photo viewer. In fact, we...
Pros: All the features worked great for me. Cons: I have none This GPS works just fine, and I live in south Louisiana. The signals are good even on a cloudy day. I guest I must be closer to the...
The NVX226 has a known software problem that requires the buyer to return the unit upon purchase. It doesn't recognize the state of Louisiana. They only have one technician that is able to work on...
I also purchased a Winnabago with a Alpine GPS as a option at 2400.00 and find it to be yery inferior to my Magellan (500.00). I also found the Tech support inadaquate and was told to...
When it knows the streets in smaller rural areas, it'll navigate you there. But sometimes even when the street is on the map, it will not be able to guide you down it. I will admit that the map...
The previous two reviews are indicative of 1) Improper installation of hardware, most likely by non-professionals and 2) Improper use of software. I can tell you with absolute assurance, I paid...
Review of Garmin Zumo 550 Satellite Navigation System
Where to start....? In the box is everything you need for the car and bike. Fitting the Garmin Zumo 550 to the bike is a doddle but for tidiness I removed seat and fuel tank to properly route and...
Garmin wait time is over 30 minutes. Garmin Zumo 550 not worth the price. The first 3 times I used GPS I got lost because GPS stopped working. Detour just wanted me to go in a circle. GPS unit was...
Hot on the heels of TomTom's Rider comes the Garmin zumo 550 a GPS designed and built specifically for motorcycles and scooters. On first glance, the zumo looks similar to Garmin's current range,...
Ok, this is concentrating on the Bluetooth Functionality. Because Garmin choose the Parrot CK5000 chip instead of the Parrot CK5050 series chip, you won't be able to listen to your MP3s in stereo...
First a little background: I'm a HUGE fan of TomTom. I like the UI; I like the quirky voices you can apply to the application. I've been using TT for awhile -- since version 4.x running on a Palm...
1- GPS reception is very week and very slow. It looses GPS connection very easily, sometimes in clear weather conditions. It doesn't have a GPS connection in my house (iphone does), and, after I go...
The TT hardware works OK but the suction cup attachment is inadequate and don't buy a refurbished TomTom. When they say factory refurbished, they mean it was returned to the factory to fix the...
"Good Inexpensive Alternative / Can be a little cranky"
Plain & simple. This GPS is good 90% of the time. The good is just good. The bad. . . . If you want to get to a specific small town or hamlet (a small town within a large town), the gps will not...
Reasonably good unit for the price, but "let the buyer beware," because the maps have never been updated. Now that the unit is discontinued, they call it a "Legacy Product," and apologetically...
After I was able to figure this unit out, it worked great. Depending on where it was purchased, a computer is necessary to get it up and running effectively. The only complaint I had was with their...
Magellan Roadmate 300 Let Lady Penelope guide you home. Blessed with elocution rarely heard outside of a Swiss-finishing school, the Roadmate 300 is so appealing you might find yourself driving...
I haven't used TomTom for a whole 24 hours yet, nor have I been able to access this site properly, so all I can say now is "I wish I knew TomTom better." But I'll think twice before I 'poo-poo' my...
I paid $500 for a GO 300 2 years ago. All of the main streets I have found. I updated my software for $60, only for the southeast region consisting of 5 states. I have still not been able to...
Yo viajo mucho en Europa y Estados Unidos. Los mapas de Tom Tom no estan actualizados, en Italia y Francia tuve muchos problemas porque Tom Tom me mandaba a calles que no tienen entrada o muchas...
The TomTom Go is the iPod of the navigation world. Cute and friendly-looking, it has interchangeable color faceplates, an organic pod shape, and a minimalist one-button design. It even comes...

Since the release of the Editors' Choice-winning TomTom GO , we've looked forward to the company's next-generation in-car GPS device. The TomTom GO 300 ($699.95) is one of two new products in the...
"Overall great device, but developed a USB port problem after 2yrs"
The device works great, I think overall Garmin built a great product that is easy to use, small, good mapping software (I can store 1/2 USA on 512mb microSD.) You can count on this product for...
This is the best affordable navigator, this product is a low budget product, system is easy to follow, voice is clear and directions are easy looked at display. As first GPS is easy to...
Save yourself a ton of grief and avoid the whole Garmin line. Product support is just sad.(NO joke) Nearly impossible to register and thier site is more into selling upgrades than provding service....
In-car GPS devices have come a long way in terms of usability and affordability, as intuitive plug-and-play systems infiltrate the market and prices fall below the $1,000 mark. However, Garmin...
kiyawhite's Review of Garmin Streetpilot i3 Satellite Navigation System
I bought this cheap Garmin Streetpilot GPS as a shared gift between the people in my house. I didn't have much in the way of savings at the time I bought this as you can tell by the price of the...
mancunius's Review of Garmin Streetpilot i3 Satellite Navigation System
I bought a Garmin Streetpilot i3 in August 2006. Whilst it worked it was brilliant, but 6 months later it started nagging me about updating the map, which I ignored, since from year to year, not...
Not much larger than a tennis ball, the Garmin Street Pilot i3 is the cheapest of the units in our group test and has a screen that measures just 5.6cm diagonally. That is a little bit of a...
"Caveat emptor! No Support for Garmin Street Pilot C340"
The current price for the C340 is great --- I paid $800 in Jan. 2006. However, buyers beware: Garmin no longer supports this GPS. I wanted to up-date the maps (June 2009). Customer service told...
pros. great for finding places around town! purchased factory refurbished for 130. cons: traveling out of town not so great. lost sat's under clear skies and small screen, don't think 5"...
Quick Take: There are two reasons why the Garmin StreetPilot c340 ($857 list) is the flagship model of the company's c series : advanced text-to-speech functionality and traffic alerts. With the...
I've used this almost daily for several years in North America, and it is very good. I would buy it again. There are two places where improvement could be made: the connector for the cable to...
Pros: Door to door, easy to use don't need manual Cons: Poor design of power cord, and poor design using ratchet base. I have owned the 2720 for about 2 years and found it to be (for the most...
When the Garmin StreetPilot 2620 made its debut a year ago, it set the bar high for in-car GPS navigation devices with its top-notch performance, ease of use, and accessories. Now, with the release...
I intentionally bought this unit for my motorcycle which has saved me a few times and may keep it for the bike only in emergencies. But for an everyday GPS for the car, I'd chuck it out the window...
I have used teh Garmin Quest 2 for a number of years. This is my second as my other was stolen. It has both the capabilities for the user that just wants to enter an address and be guided to the...
"Relatively Bullet Proof. Small and easily Carried."
I have owned the Quest2 for two years and except for the data base being less than updated I like the unit. Once you learn to live with its foibles you can work around them fairly easily. I turn...
A number of portable navigation systems, such as the Magellan RoadMate 800 , claim they can be used in the car and on foot, but while they may be compact enough, their odd shapes don't make them...
Pros: Ease of use Cons: Break after about three months My first Nuvi broke after 4 months. There was no longer any sound, neither through the regular speaker nor through external speakers. No big...
Pros: Very easy to navigate. Cons: I have a little trouble with the start up bottom. I have to press hard to get it to come on,and off. I bought one of these and I just love it. It was very helpful...
It was OK while it lasted, but I would have preferred a little more warning before it was time to turn. At 55 MPH, I would often pass the road and have to turn around. I don't really want to look...
Garmins pocket-sized nuvi 350 is a portable GPS unit that aims to be more than just a GPS. This little unit wants to be your personal travel assistant, and has the capability to do so thanks to the...
overall this unit does what it is supposed to do and is very easy to use Updated on Nov 29, 2008 just want to add that ive had this unit for several years without problem.
I owned this for about 14 months and now it will not turn on - of course it is out of warranty!! Always had a had time finding signal and would be lost before it ever came on!! Voive prompts kind...
I really love using this unit but am quite dissappointed with the suction cup dash or window mount, both constantly failed allow the unit to fall to the floor. I've had to punchase antenna so that...

I bought a Garmin StreetPilot 7200 for my elderly parents. It has a nice big screen which makes it easy for my parents to use (ie. their vision and coordination isn't so good). The big screen...
According to Garmin, the StreetPilot 7200 is designed for use in large vehicles such as buses, RVs, and semis, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to drive a big rig to take advantage of...
Navman iCN550 satnav system Get from A to B without getting stuck in traffic, but it'll cost you. Put down your A-Z and turn off the traffic news: Navman's latest satnav device can display live...
This is a limited edition product from Navman and that comes their customer service. They have no intention of supporting the product, upgrading software or providing updated maps. You are buying...
I find it incredible that you can spend more than ??350 on a product and it is out of date before it is out of warranty with no come back at all. I will never recommend a Navman product to any...
This is a budget SatNav system designed for the complete beginner. It is a plug and go device, that does not need any other system to run. This means that you don't need a PC. I bought mine at...
The Navman iCN 550 sits at the higher end of the Navman range of GPS units, and offers an easy to grasp user interface combined with a bright and clear 3.5in touch screen and 4GB hard drive....
Pros: Nice design. Navigates fairly well. When I deviate from route, unit recalculates new route quicker than I thought it would. Unit is light weight and fairly compact, so it should travel well...
If you are looking for an all-in-one system so that you don't have to have your Sirius radio suctioned to one section of your windshield and your navi to the other, this is the unit for you!...
Clarion NICE Navigation purchased about 7 months ago; Great size screen and ease of use; provided persistent freezing of screen during long trips; this makes it very unreliable since you can miss...
This system is nice for daylight use, but I find the controls not as friendly an other GPS systems I have used, and the screen cannot be dimmed enought for night time use if mounted on the...
This unit worked fine for me, until I had a error on the screen when starting it up one day. The error was "Error Loading Title Bar Gif". I could not get that error to go away. The only...
Pros: Loaded with features Cons: Took a little getting used to. I have owned the IWAY 350C for over a year and a half and I love it, now. When I first got it I was used to using a friend's...
This product was excellent for about three months until the sound went out. Prior to the sound going out, the major complaint was the sound quality. When travelling on the freeway you could hardly...
GARMIN 010-00522-00 Streetpilot C550 GPS I had given this to my fiance for Christmas. He loves it and had found many uses for it so far. The seller was great. It came in a timely manor with...
This is the reason to spend more for a GPS device. Not the Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player, or integrated traffic receiver (three months free subscription)-which are nice to have-but the...
I love my Garmin. I use it everyday and now that I have it I do not remember how I got around without it... I recently purchased updates for it, from Garmin for $70, and I still unsure what that...
I bought this thing around a month ago, and have used it several times since then. Although it's quite good, but there are a couple of problems which I'm facing with my piece:
The Garmin Nüvi 350 blew us away with its great feature set, its outstanding performance, its compact form factor, and its wallet-gouging price tag. All in all, we loved it. Now Garmin has come...
It's not a lack of features, because it delivers quite well. But again I know I'm repeating my self but I can't justify the price. I've been using a Quest for years, and it's a great unit. My...
The apparent quality of the Zumo is high. I was surprised that it ignores time zones in navigation. It gives navigation eta in the home time zone instead of in the time zone of the destination....
I purchased this over the TomTom Rider for it's positive reviews and features. This Garmin model 5550 is supplied with more accessories than the TomTom Rider. You would just have to purchase what...
Photo gallery: Garmin Zumo 550 When we reviewed the TomTom Rider last year, I was a happy camper on two wheels. With the release of the Garmin Zumo 550, I'm a really happy camper on two or four...
This unit came with Streets & Trips 2009 and failed in less than 60 days. Pharos is replacing it with a new one under warranty but will only give a 30 day warranty on the replacement GPS. The...
This was just the thing to go with a laptop and a program like MS Streets and Trips. Huge improvement over older larger devices I have used in the past.
I have to admit that I have limited experience with nav products, but I am amazed at how well this system works with my iPaq rx3115. It was easy to install. The iPaq discovered the BT GPS receiver...
i had ipaq gps. hate it so much... I have Mio GPS system, it's pocket pc, with gps integrated and 3d map software. Oh and i got it for free from freewaygift .com why the heck do u have to pay for...
Many Pocket PC users would be lost without their HP iPaqs to keep them organized. Now thanks to the HP iPaq Navigation system, your iPaq can go even further by preventing you from getting lost on...
I will never spend another penny for any Garmin product and I strongly advise anyone that would listen to please spend your hard earned money with some other company.
Pros: Ease of use Cons: None I travel throughout the U.S. and would not be without the unit. I have set the settings to chime on turns and depending on location EG Houston avoid tolls. I use it as...
I love my Garmin Nuvi 660 but was disappointed with it once I upgraded my cell phone to a Palm Centro. Apparently the bluetooth in the Garmin is not compatible with the Palm phones, as I was told...
Review of Garmin nuvi 660 Satellite Navigation System
Garmin have a poor assistance policy; when I finally do get some response from them, they told tell me that the problem is in my PC because of a Java fault - and finally had the unit back to...
I've purchased two of Magellan's 2200T and am very satisfied. I bought my first unit to utilize on my motorcycles as this is the only reasonably priced waterproof unit I could find and was happy...
Not a bad unit overall. I purchased it when it first came out and quickly realized the maps were outdated, even then. New streets and permanent street changes that had already been on Mapquest,...
Updated on: 10/17/2006 Editors' note: Our initial review was of a preproduction model of the Magellan RoadMate 2200T. We have since received the final product and updated our ratings. Although...
