"Every runner on a tight budget should buy this watch"
This product overall is a must buy for any runner on a budget. I don't know how I ran outside ever without it. It is like treadmill running without the treadmill. It keeps my pace time distance and...
I HATE THE BATTERY LIFE. IF YOU LEAVE IT ON OVER NIGHT AND TRY TO USE IT IN THE MORNING...FORGET IT! BATTERY WILL BE LOW AND THE WATCH WILL NOT WORK. YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE WATCH OFF AND PLUGGED IT...
I am sure that this is a great product, but I never received the shipment from Amazon. When I didn't receive the USPS shipment, I called Amazon and they promised to send another Garmin. Then, they...
After a few months unit failed to synch with desktop software, reinstalled everything (on desktop and 305 firmware), still fails. Waiting for tech support to "get back with me". Look online, lots...
I have used the Forerunner 305 GPS for about a month now. I use the unit in Colorado for cycling, running and nordic skiing. The heart monitor functions well and never seems to have any problems...
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...
The GPSmap 60 is essentially a GPS 60 with a bump in memory and an international base map. Although this certainly makes the device much more useable, it is only slightly cheaper than the much more...
Pros: easy to use, easy to download, hold lots of data Cons: on/off button too small, difficult to turn on sometimes. Great product, simple to use and easy to download the information. We are...
I purchased the Garmin GPS 60 to get the anchor drag alarm, which product advertising and information says it has. The so-called alarm gives one, and only one, barely audible " beep" and that is...
Garmins GPS 60 offers stripped-down handheld GPS navigation. In some areas the device improves on the disappointing eTrex H , but many of the same functionality gaps are still present, making...
I have enjoyed this product since the day it was put into my hands. My brother has one and he enjoys it very much and its a great help geting places. I use mine a lot to find geo-treasures and...
I bought this specifically for geocaching. The instructions are insufficient to figure out how to punch in coordinates that you already know. Maybe I need a 13 year old to figure this out, because...
After using this unit for just under three years I have very few real complaints about the unit itself, but am a little disapointed in the mapping software.
I purchased this unit for a motorcycle trip last fall. The first time I tried to use it, it would not navigate roads for the route I downloaded. After hours on line and on the phone with Garmin,...
Finally, summers here and the weather is great for playing and staying outdoors.? Camping can be made even cooler if youve got the right gadgets to keep you cozy, clean and well-directed -- unless you like roughing it, then all youll need is a backpack, a can of beans and a Swiss Army knife.? But if youre like me, you want a few conveniences without feeling weighed down by all kinds of junk.I like to keep it as uncomplicated and compact as possible.? But hey, maybe its your style to drag along the foldout cook top stove complete with waist-high counter and cutting board setup and bring extraneous items like tent decor and a welcome mat for outside the entrance.? Seems like a lot of baggage, but whatever works for you. :)Besides your tent, sleeping bag and backpack, here are some interesting gadgets to get you going:Brunton Camping Combo KitFrom $94.19Features a stove, lantern, spork eating utensil and canister stabilizer with three extended legs with rubber grips keep stove/lantern steady all in an ultra-compact, lightweight design.? The 11,000-BTU burner boils 1 liter of water about 4 minutes and the lantern burns for 8.5 hours.Swiss Army Victorinox 53203 HuntsmanFrom: $23.40Because these classic gadgets come in handy more often than not, this model comes with large and small stainless steel blades, corkscrew, can opener, small and large screwdrivers, bottle opener, wire stripper, wood saw, reamer with sewing eye, multi-purpose hook, tweezers, toothpick, key ring and scissors.? Its 3.5 inches long when closed.? Its surprising how easily key items like corkscrews and can openers get forgotten.? Keep this with your camping gear and you dont have to worry.Guide Gear Pop-up Room and Solar ShowerOkay, okay, so its not hardcore, but how cool is this?? Easy to set up, made with 70 denier/190T polyester material, fiberglass pole frame and 5-gallon PVC Solar Shower.? Bring your own water and the sun will do the rest.? Feels great after a long hike, not to mention makes sharing a tent a bit easier on everyones noses.Notebook Portable Flat-Folding BBQ: $24.99Weve seen the typical campsite grill *shudder* but lugging the full-size BBQ from home is just too bulky.? This non-networking notebook? looks like a ready solution.? The compact, sturdy metal design comes with a built-in grill rack and uses charcoal or wood.Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx GPS ReceiverFrom: $283.99Hikings fun but getting lost isnt.? Something like this all-purpose upgradeable handheld locator can help with that.? It has auto routing, turn-by-turn guidance and gives your bearings while you stand still.? It lets you upload up your own digital maps for better reference, has a waterproof and a large, color TFT display for easy viewing, day or night.? Up to 20 hours of battery life.Image Source: Campist.comFind at Smarter.com:? Shop for more handheld GPS systems and portable BBQs.Discounts on Swiss Army knives. ... more
My 10-year old Garmin had detailed maps of every place I went in the country, from California to Mississippi. This new, expensive model has nothing but the interstates! And the extra (read,...
If you're looking for a rugged portable GPS unit with plenty of customizable features and options then this is the one. I like how I can mount it on my mountain bike handlebars when biking and then...
This was revolutionary 3-4 years ago, but with new handheld devices like the iPhone, etc showing how a handheld interface should work, this begins to feel ancient. + Great reception +...
Garmins GPSmap 60CSx has a colour screen, electronic compass, barometric altimeter and expandable memory. Although these features are certainly useful, they attract a $260 premium over the...
Despite a significant price jump from the GPSMAP 76, Garmins GPSMAP 76Cx is a handheld GPS device that offers good value. With a colour screen, USB connectivity and expandable memory, the GPSMAP...
1st set Amazon sent was a disappointment. The unit intermittently went off by itself, during road use/usb connection to pc. Amazon was kind enough to send me a replacement set pretty...
Great product. Takes some learning as it is not as intuitive as I would have liked, but the easy way is not always best. I highly recommend this product.
This Garmin Map60 has everything you need for hiking, hunting , Geocaching, road navigation and more. It's easy use and hold. The screen is also easily seen. I'm still learning about but very glad...

I returned this product for a full refund due to unclear instructions and no repsonse from customer service. The instructions provided in the owner's manual on entering bearing and distance to find...
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...
Great product except for the audio from the Blackberry
Great product except for the audio from the Blackberry. I haven't figured out how to get the audio to my Bluetooth headset, and the audio from my Blackberry 8700c is terrible. Tech support...
The unit works well and may be more than adequate for geocaching, but for general use in the car or for walking it leaves much to be desired. Without knowing ahead of time what comes in the...
This gps replaced my original yellow eTrex I bought years ago. I was ready for a color screen and a more accurate GPS. I read great reviews on this model and since I have used it, I feel I made...
I bought this unit for geocaching and was not disappointed. Besides the ultra sensitive receiver, the WAAS capability was getting me continuously close to to the cache. The color screen is easily...
Review of Garmin eTrex Vista Cx Satellite Navigation System
I didn't have this GPS for more than one month. The second day of use while up moose hunting I left the unit on the counter overnight. It was about 20 degrees F. I went to use the unit and noticed...
Bought this in a bundle (with MapSource Topo 2008) which is almost mandatory due to the anemic basemap. Topo 2008, while far from perfect, will give you plenty of map details good for most outdoor...
"Great multifunction GPSr with stellar GPS reception!"
Have been to spots where my original b&w Vista wouldn't get reception, and the HCX gets 10 ft accuracy! Love the display and accessories that are easy to find. Even came with the bike mount tab...
I would refer tihis product to a friend, but would for sure make them aware of the mapping detail. The clarity is excellent. It would be better if you could read the screen without having to turn...

Review of Garmin eTrex Vista Cx Satellite Navigation System
I purchased my Garmin eTrex Legend Cx as an upgrade from basic eTrex, what a difference! It came with 23MB micro SD card which handled about 6-9 local maps using Mapsource Topo v2. Friend and I...
The Etrek Summit is Stupid. It is like the Kiddy GPS. It is for beginners that never heard of GPS and are just buying it because they saw it on the news. The Magnellan GPS is much more accurate...
The only problem I have had is not being able to get signal in dense woods. Garmin should also include a pc cable with the unit. I have used the unit many times on hikes and other trips with no...
This is a horrible product. The concept is great but the execution is horrible. It works great as a bluetooth speakerphone but I bought it as a GPS product for my Treo 700p. It looses satellites...
Nice product, especially for the price of $67.00. Now if I were to have paid full price, I wouldn't be happy. Does everything I needed it to do, but like others have noted, Garmin customer...
I've only had it a couple of days, but so far it works great. And being able to map addresses from my contacts awesome :) I would have given it 5 stars, but I had to get my own maps (used a...
In this day and age, buying a standalone GPS device isn't the only way to get navigation help. If you have a cell phone or smart phone , you can add software or GPS accessories to turn your mobile...
This mount attaches securely to my handlebars. You do have to screw and adhere the mounting plate to the back of the GPS unit, however, it is very unobtrusive. Additionally, the handlebar mount...
I had one of the first Street Pilots and after 3 years the wiring was becoming frayed and I feared that it's days were limited, which was a shame since my actual GPS was working fine. Then I...
My last GPS kept falling off the windshield when the suction cups wore off so I got this one. No instructions. Not sure if the clips go into the vent up or down but both are difficult to use...
Even though I live in a very hot area, I have not had trouble with the rubber melting. I have had trouble with the swivel losing its ability to tighten, allowing the unit to twist.
Stonie's 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...
All in all, the Garmin 10 bluetooth GPS unit is a good buy, even though it may be a bit pricey for a brick like device. I would recommend staying away from the included software and using a...
This GPS unit is very nice and simple. The unit actually arrived DOA aka broken but Garmin technical support was very helpful and was prompt to turn me around a new working unit (I think the...
If you like hassle with a capital H, buy a Garmin. Unlocking maps, product registration and a website that will not provide a simple e-mail link to contact support all contribute to make using a...
A Technology waiting for Clear Channel TMC (in DC) and Garmin to Catch Up

Uniden's entry-level GPS navigation unit provides some excellent features normally reserved for more expensive models. It lacks style, isnt compatible with the SUNA Traffic Channel and doesnt...
This was the best buy on the internet, have many friends that paid much more for the same model. The Garmin Rino 110 is easy to set up and use, can't wait to try it out. Bought many products from...
This item is simply a walkie-talkie that locates others of its own kind and shows you your position relating to dots (waypoints). No maps. No elevation graphics. Not even roads. I'm sure the newer...

Works fine however, the car cord would not plug into the unit so I sent it back to Amazon for an exchange. The second unit had the same problem so I called Garmin. First, the guy told me to force...
