Great having the XM feature and other options. Problems were with power cord (on third) and battery (dies deader than dead). Having to buy maps was a problem but great for both car/truck and boat.
i found that after paying close to $1000 bucks I would get a good navigation unit for atleast the marine part that they advertise it for. The base maps, as they call it, are about as useful as a...
I was given one of these units as a gift and I have been working with it for a couple of years now. I upgraded to a more capable and more expensive unit but I still use the eTrex Legend frequently....
Aside from the relatively poor sensitivity of this unit (it really needs a clear view of the sky to be reliable), I found that the screen on my unit occasionally went blank when reception was poor...
Today I booted it up from storage and it still remembers my 2003 way point at Interlaken Switzerland. Really good price for something that may possibly save your life.
Ok, but wouldn't recommend this one to anyone else
I got this mainly for boating and fishing. I wanted cheap and didn't have my heart set on a lot of features. That said, I was a little disappointed to see that I couldn't even upload basic...
"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...
This is one of the best $110 purchases I have ever made. I meant just to use my GPS for backpacking and possible geocaching, but I was pleasantly surprised that it is fast and versatile enough to...
Warning Do not buy this product. 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 over nite. It was about 20 degrees F. I...
With a monochrome LCD, no built-in maps and only basic GPS guidance, the Garmin eTrex H isnt for hiking novices. Still, even for more experienced hikers theres no compelling argument to choose...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
The critical limitation is the eTrex substitute back that anchors it to this mount. The substitute back is cheesy and only fits the most basic of the eTrex series (if any). It certainly does not...
Mount works good. I have it in my truck using the temporary mounting adhesive. It holds real well and I haven't tried taking it off of my dash. Will be interesting to see how the adhesive holds...
This unit will not fit the Legend Cx. The Legend Cx has the removable memory. The mounting bracket requires you to replace the battery cover in order to snap into the bracket. There is a notch on...
This mount works good if you plan on leaving the GPS unit in the cradle for extended periods. It is not very user-friendly if you plan on moving the GPS in and out of the cradle alot. The GPS...
I bought this to replace a broken unit. I've had the Ique for 4 years and my only gripe (are you listening Garmin?)is the bulkiness. Also, it doesn't stick that well to the dashboard. Hard...
YEAH, THIS THING DOES IT JOB AND ALL BUT THE PLUG BROKE RIGHT AWAY. IT ALL CAME DOWN IN PIECES AS I TOOK IT OFF. I AM PLANNING ON GETTING ANOTHER ONE NOW BECAUSE IT DOES DO ITS JOB AND ALL BUT...
I had to pass on the "suction cup" holder Garmin supplied with my 265WT Nuvi. It was going to be too hard to transfer it between 2 different makes of cars. This was the replacement. It fits...
First of all make sure you understand that this is the bean bag only and the mount arm that comes with the Garmin gps will not work with it and you cannot buy the mount arm seperately. The bag...
Based on the product description and photos, I thought this beanbag would work with the suction cup mount that came with my Garmin GPS. It does not. The suction cup mount base is too thick and...
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.?

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.?

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...

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.
Ended up buying the blue chart maps but they don't show the waterways I frequent even though the package says "Expanded inland river coverage." I live 3 to 4 miles from the Atlantic. $650 for the...
Garmin GPSMAP 76CSX Handheld GPS with Barometric Altimeter and Electronic CompassThis jewel can do everything but make the coffee, but it is difficult to remember which of the 8 buttons and 4...
Best - Easy to download caches from the web site. Easy to use to "find next", mark as found, etc. Caching friendly device. Battery life is remarkable compared the eXplorist 500 I have been...
I used this thing on a daily basis for work for about two weeks. The reception got slower and slower until finally it just didn't recieve satellites at all, on a clear day in the wide open....
The Garmin eTrext Vista is the best small handheld for world traveling. You can get around 20 hours on a set of AA batteries and it can be used in a car but the screen is small and it beeps for...

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...
