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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...

I used the AVIC-Z2 going across country from Tacoma WA to Norfolk VA and it was flawless. It kept track of where I was and how far from my next way point. Going through large cities it was a life...
Took 'delivery' in Feb 2008 but rest of the car wasn't ready so I left it at the shop (350 miles away). Took 'delivery' in March 2008 but although wide open throttle response was great the car was...
I purchased the Z2 first and foremost because it's a navigation system with hands free voice command capability, BUT in the navigation and voice command departments the Z2 is very disappointing.
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...
"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...
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...
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 won't give it 5 stars as I think these units should have some learning capability. If the city reconfigures an intersection, the GPS will send you out of the way as it will not recognize the...
I'm sure the GPS is fabulous and will be a Xmas hit.. but with CDN exchange rate and then UPS Broker fees of $66 at my door......I really wish I would of just went to the local department store as...
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...
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...
"This is a reasonably priced and great functioning navi."
The PND-K3 comes complete with home charger and dash mount with the auto base/charging adapter. There is an optional version that can make use of the MSN service. However I went with the model that...
Well I'm a truck driver so I'm face to face with this unit for about 12hrs a day 6 days a week and I'll say this. As a Navigation unit, it's pretty easy to use, giving me fairly good directions,...
This GPS unit works in general, and definitely has some pros and cons. I did buy this one because my last one (a Garmin Nuvi) broke after a year and a half. The sound does have a bit of a problem...
If I asked you about Alpine Electronics, you'd likely automatically think high-end, in-dash car audio or maybe even in-dash GPS, but how about a portable navigation device? Probably not. Alpine's...
I bought the tomtom go 910 alittle over two years ago the connection between the gps and the charger came loose and stopped taking a charge. I called the company thinking the could help only to...
The TomTom One 140 S builds on TomTom's successful One series of entry-level portable navigation devices (PNDs), with the addition of features that were once the hallmarks of TomTom's...
I got the 130S specifically for the smaller size and spoken street names, however it only speaks the street names in the female voice. None of the other voices it offers speaks street names. Also,...
This is a great unit especially for the price. The software was extremely easy to use and the interface on the unit is better than the Garmin in my opinion. I had alot of trouble with the Garmin...
"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...
Since I bought my 930 9 months ago, I have been unable to update the map that came with it. Endless elaborate error messages. Support is useless with suggestions like try it from a different...
Just thought I would share my experiences with Mobilnova's Media Center software add-on that enables such entertainment features such as video and games. The Mobilnova Media Center software for...
It's a sharp looking device and for a GPS performs very well. The advanced features that use a compatible phone asre useless unless your phone works with it. The phone I had originally worked but...
Don’t be fooled by the lofty model number on the GO 930: Despite its position on top of TomTom’s automotive navigation line, it carries a relatively modest price tag of $400, which is about...
The Tom-Tom Go730 seemed to be a great GPS unit and will probably become a favorite gadget, maybe. The "maybe" stems from the maps themselves. This unit was a Christmas present and in the...
A rung below TomTom’s flagship GO 930, the GO 730 offers a ever-so-slightly shorter feature set, and purely superficial aesthetic color swap, in exchange for a $50 price cut. Buyers lose enhanced...
I paid $500 for a GO 300 2 years ago. All of the main streets I have found. I updated my software for $60, only for the southeast region consisting of 5 states. I have still not been able to...
Yo viajo mucho en Europa y Estados Unidos. Los mapas de Tom Tom no estan actualizados, en Italia y Francia tuve muchos problemas porque Tom Tom me mandaba a calles que no tienen entrada o muchas...
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...
Seemed to be working properly out of the box. Firmware was out of date. Downloaded and installed update, and unit froze. Contacted Magellan and they replaced unit. Works fine. Warranty service is...
"HORRIBLE FOR PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
WOULD NEVER SUGGEST BUYING THIS PRODUCT! If you are a casual driver who doesn't care about going way out of the way to get to your distination, go for it. I'm a professional truck driver who makes...
Again this is great when it is actually working. However I am finding that it is not working more often than working. I tried to have Magellan replace/fix it, but you need to have proof of purchase...
