Lexerd - Garmin Nuvi 1450 1490T TrueVue Anti-Glare GPS Screen Protector (Dual Pack Bundle)


With shipping, the protector cost about $11 each, but I think its worth it, though VERY expensive. Its a professional grade. You can always buy 12 protective covers for the same price, but they fade over time!

Lexerd even thought of indcluding finger-tip covers to avoid leaving marks on the screen while installing it.

Shipping from Lexerd was FAST.Get more detail about Lexerd - Garmin Nuvi 1450 1490T TrueVue Anti-Glare GPS Screen Protector (Dual Pack Bundle).

Garmin PC Interface Cable for Garmin GPS Units (010-10141-00) Review


I needed this cable to connect the Garmin GPSmaps 60CSx to the adapter cord on my Nikon D200. It mated properly and it works. It is long, maybe 6 feet, and I had to role it up and stuff it into my pooket so I could walk around. The long cord did, however, make it so I could hand off the camera to someone else to take our photo and not have to give them the GPS.

Where To Buy Garmin nüvi 275T 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic - Factory Refurbished


Its a refurb--but works great. Called Garmin--they gave me the code to upgrade the maps NA and Europe. If you know what that costs with any GPS you know 150 for the device and both current maps is a steal.Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 275T 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic - Factory Refurbished.

Shop For Audiovox ACA200W Wired Back-Up Camera


The camera is good. When I tried to install it on my Odyssey, I found it's more difficult than I've imagined to get the wire through. Also I realized I seldom use the backup camera, buying a good camera is "over-kill". So I decided to return the product. Return is easily, absolutely no hassle. I used the prepaid option -- just print out and stick the UPS label on the box and drop off at a local UPS office. Several days later I received the full refund (minus the postal fee, of course).

Cobra GPS 100 Global Positioning System with 18 Channels Order Now


I bought this unit to start goe-caching. So-far I have found it to be as accurate as any other brand providing, as the manual says, I have a "clear view of the sky". I have checked its positioning against every cache I have found so far and it is typicaly within 2 or 3 meters. Assuming that other geo-cachers use all sorts of brands I figure this is a pretty fair test. I am learning about the limits of the GP system itself along the way. I get the feeling some reviewers are blaming those limits on this unit (maybe because its price is very 'competitive'?)

It is intuitive to use, I hardly had to look at the manual. The buttons are a little stiff. I like the rubber on all the corners of the case making so it can bounce around in my glove box without geting banged up. It is very waterproof. I have been caught out in some heavy rain and it hasn't leaked.

It did take significantly longer than the 50 seconds the manual said to aquire a fix when I first turned it on but once it was 'warmed up' it was fine. Good batteries literally last for days on end, as long as you DON'T use the back light. The back-light seems to sap them in minutes. I accidentally left my unit on in power-save mode for two days on my coffee table with a set of batteries that had already done several hours daytime use. They were 'almost' flat after all that time. Not bad.

Over-all this unit has meet all my exepectations and I recomend it for geo-caching. Got'a be the most bang-for-your-buck unit around.Get more detail about Cobra GPS 100 Global Positioning System with 18 Channels.

Magellan Maestro 4000 In-Car GPS Unit Decide Now


Magellan Customer service is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They offer a free 30 day map update since all of their products ship with out of date maps. This would be a good thing except it is in the fine print of their products and their customer support email address that their website list is the wrong address. I had to get through to their customer service by posting a bad review on their website. By the time they responded my unit was beyond the 30 day limit and they refused to give me the update. This is a bad business practice. Garmin has a 60 day guarantee which is posted directly on their website in plain view.Get more detail about Magellan Maestro 4000 In-Car GPS Unit.
