GPS Systems

I am amazed by this GPS. I have 2 others and this one out preforms both in cover. It picks up the satellites in heavy tree cover and haven't had it in any canyons or ravines yet to know how it will work there. It will pick up satellites in the house

The features do not remotely live up to the hype. The base map is close to useless and without the addition to the add on map, will do no more than a $150 gps. If I still had the box, I would send it back

buy.com had the cheapest price(mid $300), so I shopped from buy.com. It had a plenty of feature and nice rugged design. Screen was bright enough and reasonably good battery life. I liked the overall look and feel. Two major issues for me. The devic

This seems to be a larger version of the Nuvi 350, and I'm glad that I spent the extra $70 for the larger screen display. I've never heard anyone say that they wished their screen was smaller. All the functions were easy to understand, and the unit c

Pros: Good navigation Cons: Poor pronuciation of local streets. I found the unit easy to learn and use, and that is a plus. However, it totally does not know pronunciation. I live on Long Island and a major road is Sunrise Highway (Rt. 27). It is

I've found the 305 to be highly accurate with no issue of signal degradation from trees or other objects. The manual is clear and easy to understand. I found the training software to be useful to me for comparative purposes. Overall, I am...

i was kind of surprised at the other reviews because my experience with the gps function has not been very good. the unit takes forever to lock up and when placed side by side with my etrex for comparison it requires three to five times longer to...

I got my first Garmin 305 about 2 months ago. The first day I got it the Enter button stopped working. I returned the Garmin 305 to the dealer and was quickly shipped a new one. I am currently using the second Garmin, however the heart rate...

GPS receivers have become so compact that it's now feasible to wear one on your wrist. GPS device manufacturers like Garmin and others have expanded their product repertoire with more unique options, such as the Garmin Forerunner series of wristwatch

The 680 is a great peice of electronics. Just simply put in an address or location and it will get you there. The best part is the size, brightness and clarity of the display. Very easy to see day and night, even with sunglasses on. The FM transmitte

This product stepped up to the plate, and swung for the fences ... but struck out swinging. The flow of the unit was nice, but the difficulty to set up way points on routes was a disappointment. And the biggest glaring problem was the lack of Tele

I have had the NUVI since December 06. It is very easy to use/program. The bluetooth is equally functional and great to have. The options are the best of any GPS I have used or tried. The voice options are excellent and can be programed through your

I am very pleased with the unit. Very detailed maps and easy to use. The function to find food and gas in whatever location you are at is great. Hands free phone and MP3 is very good over the FM channel.

I bought mine in Feb 2007 when they were just out. Highway routes it takes you are no good. Look at a map and there are definitely alterante routes that are better. City works well. If street is not available where yu are going, your stuck. It does t

From an ergonomics and hardware perspective, the Nuvi is clearly the class leader. It does cost too much and the simplicty of the interface greatly limits flexibility.

Hardware. The Nuvi makes the TomTom and other units look...

This is my first GPS device for myself. I bought my parents a Lowrance iway500c which is an excellent in car device. But i needed a mobile device to take to italy with me. This thing does just about everything i expect from it. The screen is visi

This is the 3rd GPS unit I have owned and I am a bit disappointed. First off, the "intergrated traffic monitoring" means that the unit is shipped with Garmins add-on GTM12 device. This device is not integrated and needs to be attached to the 370...

The gps works very well; but the included suction cup mounting device is inadequate. When I tried to use it, it kept falling into my lap. I then ordered a friction mounting device in response to an email from Amazon recommending it for my Garmin...

This little GPS, while not having any removeable memory nor a large bank of memory, does VERY well with what it does have. It easily stored a 6 hour hike in it's memory, with less than half the memory used. For street mapping, it has a connection...

Using Rechargeable AAA batteries, with the Battery Saver feature turned on, about two hours. Sometimes I get more using alkalines, but not much more. Honestly, this unit is worthless, because I can't trust the batteries.

At first glance, the Gecko 201 seems to be an excellent choice for a back packer's navigation system. The super compact size and light weight were among the primary reasons I chose it. It's very easy to use and it seems to be a good value based...

Can't say enough great things about my new Garmin 580. Volvo wanted $3,000 to replace their 5 year old technology in my 2002 Volvo S80. Check the economics Volvo. Bad business decision, oh wait they are a Ford company now...LMAO.

I'm not impressed.
In the city, this device often takes you on side streets instead of main roads, wants you to turn where turns aren't allowed, and takes you down dirt roads with huge potholes!
Are there any of these things that know...

I recently took the plunge and decided to upgrade from my 1-year-old Navman because I wanted something with Text-to-Speech, Bluetooth, and most importantly more accurate up-to-date maps of the S.F. Bay Area. With that in mind, I was willing to also j

This review is directed toward those who, while not technophobes, are usually a bit behind when adapting to new technologies. My wife has navigation in her Prius and loves the thing. I personally always had a hard time understanding how navigation w

Bought the Garmin 205, compared it to my Garmin 201.
I'm amazed that the 205 works within 25ft accuracy in areas that the 201 says its lost GPS signal.
Buildings tree's and Powerlines reduce the accuracy but it still picks up an...

It does a few more tasks than the 201, however:
Wrist strap is not as comfortable or as easy to use.
Internal battery does not last as long.
It does not lock on satellites any faster.
The readout is not as readable,...

I wish I had bought this one first! I must say I was impressed with the TomTom until I used the Garmin. The major fallacy of the TomTom is that annoying auto-zoom that takes you down to the lowest level, not to mention that it won't let you zoom all

The Garmin Nuvi series of GPS devices enjoys a fair number of fans. The Nuvi 660 and the Nuvi 350 have earned an average of 7.5 and 8.6 user ratings, respectively. And it's not hard to see why. These ultraportable gadgets not only serve as navigation
