Nice GPS Navigator, just need little more improvements. Maps are kind of Old and need update. there is no source given to update maps online other then CD comes with it.
The unit works OK. The feature of the MP3 player is very good but unusual in its operation. A manual explaining this feature might be nice. It has to use "invalid files" for content but there is...
"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...
I really liked this GPS because it is not too big that it gets in your way, but is it also not so small that you have a hard time seeing it. The GPS never failed to get me to my destination, but...
There are just too many flaws to enumerate. Everything from what is included with the unit, how the unit preforms, to customer service. I am very dissapointed, would not recommend one, and will...
Larger screens may be nice for some people and are especially good for the manufacturers because they fetch higher prices, but I prefer the way the smaller screen looks in my window rather than the...
I've had other Magellan productw with no issues. I was really excited about purchasing this model based on my research on the web. I helped a relative purchase a 1412 and it appeared to work...
Overall I like the DNX5120. I picked it up when the price dropped below 500. I purchaed everything I needed to istall this in my car. I purchased the PAC controller to plug right into my Ford...
The interface is clunky, reminds me of a DOS operating system. For the price (you could buy a full computer, granted a low-end model, but it would work better) the software has major glitches and...
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 I purchased it when it first came out and quickly realized the maps were outdated, even then.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...
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...
I love the unit size, screen, menus, who it works, etc. But as in another review here, the bottom line is getting there in time. My old Garmin and my laptop using nRoute both gave me the short...
Couldn't be happier,my wife's happiness was paramount, it passed the test.... Great mounting bracket that stays put in the Florida heat, easy to relocate as needed..Maps up to date along with the...
bought this for my wife.. at first we were amazed at its Text-to-speed capability: absolutely amazing! its loud and sound human.. possibly the best TTS pronounciation I've ever heard. Also, the...
The unit works reasonable well, although acquisition is sometimes slow, and instructions are some times too late. The maps are OK. The voice instructions are very well articulated and easy to...
"Great Value GPS, Large Display, touchscreen & bluetooth"
I have a pocket PC with Co-Pilot Live which has more features, but my total investment (pocket PC, Co-Pilot Live software, and GPS sleeve) was much more than the $104 I paid for the refurbished...
First introduced at CES 2008 , the Sony NV-U83T is the company's flagship portable navigation system. With a focus on safety, the NV-U83T features a number of nice and unique features, including...
The suction cup lost its ability to stay on after the third month. The voice navigation started breaking after a year (as soon as the warranty was up), now the screen has stopped working...
I've used only the lower end GPS before this one (Nuvi350 and TomTom One), so it is a nice step up. Not to say the release of software by TomTom that caused the computer voices to stutter or go...
TomTom GO 920 (Credit: TomTom) Today, TomTom took the wraps off of its latest portable navigation systems , adding three new products to the portfolio: the TomTom One 3rd Edition, TomTom GO 920,...
"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...
I have owned numerous GPS devices over the years and this 770 is without a doubt, the best unit on the market. The 770 is the same as the 760 only the 770 includes maps of Europe. I was able to...
I purchased this Garmin 770 from Amazon as a "New" product. When I tried to register it with Gamin I was informed that is was "Used" and "previously registered". Amazon would take no...
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 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...

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...
"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...
I have the magellan 3140 and its big brother the 4000...for the $89 price I paid for each....its hard to have any real issues with these units. The bad features of the unit I identified are really...
Compared to the competition, Magellan hasn't always offered the flashiest in-car GPS devices, but it's always offered a good value to the consumer. Now, with the company's new Maestro line of...
I like the unit in many ways. Problem is that the map is from 3rd quarter 2006 and still doesn't have my house, which is over 50 years old in a development on Long Island which is just as old....
do not buy this unit. U do not get anything with it and pioneer wants you to buy everything separately. I don't like the unit and at this point the negatives far outweight the positive. next time I...
Although this is not a typical do-it-yourself project, if one is careful and follows instructions you can work through the installation just fine. Larger vehicles such as SUV's and extended cab...
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...
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...
When I spent $2200 on this useless hunk of junk, I thought I was getting the state of the art, all-in-one head unit. Boy was I wrong. My $150 Garmin portable GPS is easier to use and more precise...
Sound on iPod, cd, dvd and from the library are supurb. and you don't have to put on the parking break to program the GPS Navigation, just have your foot on the break and for safety, i am all for...
Its a good thing there aren't many General Motors cars around.... just think of the PROFIT Pioneer could make if they had a 1.5 DIN version. Buyers wouldn't have to hack up and fiberglass their...
When we got our first look at the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 head unit at CES 2006, we were impressed. The double-DIN in-dash system incorporates a 7-inch touch screen and brings in all the functions you...
