The only problem I have with this unit is the Bluetooth feature. Garmin has yet to get me a permanent fix. So when the Bluetooth locks up the whole unit I have to plug it back into my computer and...
"Prefers using local City streets and no way around it."
I have a nuvi 350 and 680. Both will choose city streets over the highway route. The only avoid option I have checked is Car pool lanes. There should be an option to prefer highways as does the...
"Usually does not display names of streets being crossed"
I don't want to just follow the spoken directions (which are quite good). I like to know what street I'm currently driving on and what streets I'm crossing. The 275T does not display the name of...
We have done a lot of research. This is our first Garmin. We did not use the extra features, but the directions were good. It can recalculate very well. We need the updates. The price is now $10...
I paid a lot for this unit forthe MSN DIrect feature, but it does not work. I am in a major metropoltian area which should have a good signal, but it does not connect. After much time wasting...
we bought this and it works great. hasent got us lost at all. the voice is nice and clear. and some have said you cant see in the day light. I can see fine. a few said that they are told to...
I see the Garmin's have the highest ratings. If this is the best then none are of much value. It seems to think that one busy city thoroughfare is faster than another just because of a state Hwy....
silemin's Review of Garmin nuvi 250 Satellite Navigation System
If there were an option to put in minus number in the review I would! There is a function on the Garmin nuvi 250 to take you the fastest and shortest route, more often than not you'll be on single...
I have owned a TomTom ONE, and this Nuvi 250, and I prefer the TomTom, however there are SOME features the Nuvi has which I would prefer. When you get to your destination, the Nuvi tells you it is...
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...
I have many heart rate monitors that never seem to be very acurate. This one is buy far the best. Very acurcate with heart rate, distance, lap, and tracking. I bought this for my husband who is an...
Unit pretty much delivers as promised. Liked being able to customize screen for information I wanted to see while running. Speed, pace, heartrate, distance, etc all very accurate. Disappointed...
"I found this unit to be a hindrance rather than a help"
No local golf courses shown, indicated nearest golf was 70 miles away. Could only find 2 gas stations in my area and one of those has been shut down and demolished for 10 years. Could not locate...
How is the unit connected for use away from the car? I read in a previous review that it can be operated from a laptop or from a mains power adaptor. There is a USB connector on the back of the...
Pros: Very good, visually Cons: Not portable I bought the nuvi 5000, but I'm taking it back to BestBuy. It's not portable. It needs the battery connection TO THE CAR to make it work. (That's NOT...
"This is my 3rd Garmin unit - great products/service"
My previous GPS unit was a Street Pilot 340, although quite bulkie relatively speaking, it had crystal clear voice commands. I was expecting the same with this nuvi, but didn't get it. I suppose...
This is an excellent unit. Very easy to use and when turning off of selected route unit re-calculates very fast and gets you back on track towards you destination. I cannot get the unit to display...
My wife travels alot and needs a good, reliable GPS when she is on the road. We have had 2 Nuvi 260's before this 260w. We liked the 260's. (Somebody else also likes the 260 because they keep...
"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...
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 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...
"I agree with CNET review, dissappointed with this unit"
I purchased a couple to replace our Zumo 550 and C330. This units seems much more sluggish than our previous units. The Zumo had similar features and seemed to perform well but got rid of my bike...
Pros: good when it works Cons: doesn't work often For the first month or so I enjoyed using my Nuvi 760. It worked well. Then, all of a sudden it lost the signal and has not been able to find it...
Editors' note: The following review is of the Garmin Nuvi 750. The Nuvi 760 is identical to the 750 in nearly every way, except that the 760 adds Bluetooth hands-free calling and an FM Traffic data...
Pros: Bluetooth, shows the posted speed limit, calculates FAST, has MANY more features than my previous Streetpilot. Cons: None to this date. I was originally going to go with the 780 however there...
simondaw's Review of Garmin Edge 705 Satellite Navigation System
The Garmin Edge 705 seems to be getting mixed reviews. Overall, I find that it's pretty accurate, and that I've been able to adapt it to do the job I want it to do. I wouldn't be happy with it if I...
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 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...
Review of Garmin eTrex Vista Satellite Navigation System
I had 2 Garmin eTrex Vista GPS units from new, returning the first for the second. Both of them exhibited the same fault - namely they hang / freeze during use. They hang at random points, any time...

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...
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...
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...
"Fred Sanford would have one in a box in his yard."
This is my 2nd and probably my last Garmin. The last one I had was older but way better. I got rid of it cause the screen was a bit small, but this one is really a piece of shiitake. It is...
We went camping in NC...it got us from SC to the NC mountains through the treacherous route 80, straight to the camp ground with pin point accuracy. We could not have asked for better results!
"Love the Quick Connect feature of the winshield mount"
Overall it was a very nice GPS - It seemed to take for ever to find the satalites when I 1st powered the unit on every time I used it. Also took a fare amount of time to download the maps each...
The Garmin Nuvi series has earned a reputation as a solid line of portable navigation systems, offering accurate routing, good design, and ease of use. We've seen it in the entry-level Garmin Nuvi...
The seller sent me 2 of these units and I sent them an email immediately to get it corrected. They sent me an RMA form that I filled out and then I never heard from them again. Nobody answers the...
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...
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...
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...
Never used a GPS before. Within minutes I was able to have the product running. We used it in our first trip. The trip was without incidence and used it a lot at the new location with succes. Great...
I like the traffic feature but the speaker quality is poor even at 80% volume the speaker distorts and if the volume is any lower it'll be hard to hear. Sometimes text to speech takes a while to...
I would look elsewhere as the problems I experienced are common with these units. Look on previous reviews and you will see the same issues over and over again.
The Garmin Nuvi family of portable navigation devices (PNDs) is growing constantly, and the GPS manufacturer has added a new line called the Nuvi 2x5 series that focuses on providing high-end...
