Over the past few years I owned four different GPS units. This one is definitely the best one. The screen is gorgeous. This hi res screen makes a huge difference. The unit is full of features like lane assist, 3D buildings, Bluetooth, AAA database. As a BT speaker it does not work as well as a standalone piece (I own the Jabra's one). I had some problems paring with my iPhone but eventually I managed to connect. Researching on the internet you can find some tips about hacking the unit. I was... Read Full Story

I didn't have a pressing need for a GPS, since I rarely drive in unfamiliar territory. But I decided to get one anyway because (1) I might have occasional use for it and (2) I was suffering from a severe case of gadget lust. Having used an entry-level GPS in a rental car once before, I wanted an affordable model with text-to-speech capability, one that would actually tell me the name of the next street to turn on, instead of saying "turn in 200 feet." This Garmin seemed to fit the bill. But... Read Full Story
Had this unit installed by someone who knew what they were doing.Added Sirius Radio & Bluetooth.Works fanstatically!Best feature is the removable head unit.Received no help in the actual setup, but it was a breeze, a little help from the book, and rest was very easy to figure out.It is joy to operate.The Bluetooth phone works perfect with the unit, paired first time.Sound is great both directions.Minimal steps (touch screen) to go from one source to the other.USB plays my MP3 player, and...

Does your loved one always get lost when driving. Worst still, do they drive along whilst trying to read a map? Not ideal (probably illegal) and definitely dangerous. Solve this, and a Christmas gift problem with a Garmin Nuvi 250
This is a lovely Sat Nav which has an easy to see widescreen display and is great value for money.
Some Sat Navs have a very small screen , making it just as dangerous to peer at it, as it would be to keep grabbing a map. This is why the Garmin Navi 250... Read Full Story

Kudos on the economical price for a TTS GPS. Liked the speed limit alert and immediate route recalculation feature. Also enjoyed the large, bright, easy to read screen and qwarty keyboard. The Pharos PDR200 begans to lose points on the touchscreen feature. When tapping any of the buttons on the bottom it would trigger a button way above it, if it triggered a button at all. The device froze several times and had to be reset each time. When trying to use the POI feature and the Where I am... Read Full Story
The Foretrex 201 is a general purpose version of the Forerunner personal training device.It lacks the personal training features (and PC software) of the Forerunner and replaces them with a general purpose GPS feature set derived from Garmins successful “Geko” models.
Note that Garmin describes the Foretrex as being similar to a Geko 201, but the Foretrex is missing a few features (no games) and the user interface is substantially different in a few areas.
There are two Foretrex models... Read Full Story
We installed this unit on our boat and got it working immediately, no problems whatsoever. We bought it for all the inland lakes in Michigan and it has details on all the ones that we boat on. However, we are going to have to pay an additional $130 for Lake St. Clair! Granted it is not an inland lake. The included lake maps do provide useful outlines of the lakes. The depth sonar and gps both work well on the lakes and we have had no problems. However and but... Here are the reasons why I... Read Full Story
