TomTom XL 350T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Lifetime Traffic Edition) Best Quality


I used this unit for 1 day before sending it back. When you touch the screen it jumps to different settings. There is no test to speech or does not speak street names. The volume is too low even at 100% You need to shut the radio and close the windows to barely hear the directions. don't wast your money. Go Garmin instead.Get more detail about TomTom XL 350T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Lifetime Traffic Edition).

TomTom XL 340S Live 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable Internet Connected GPS Navigator Get it now!


I have used many GPS devices such as Garmin, TomTom, Navigon, etc.. And in the end the TomTom products always seem to be superior. Every time I buy a new GPS, I sit in my driveway and do a few simple tests. The first is how fast is it ready to navigate. I don't think anyone will ever be faster than TomTom. Second, how easy is it for me to find a local store I shop at every week... for example the local Kroger's grocery store that's close to my house. Again, TomTom can help me route to this very quickly and with minimal amounts of button pushing. To be fair, other devices may be able to find the same place, but not without having to scroll through 1000 POI's, or without having to push 50 buttons... Third, I need weather and traffic, and as much information as I can get about where I am, where I am going, and what's in between.. the more information the better as far as I am concerned. TomTom again is excellent in this area and now with a built in data connection provided by a cell signal, I can have all the information that I want, anywhere and anytime. I have tried the FM traffic version of this, and the MSN version of this, but MSN is going to stop offering this service next year (2010), so don't waste your time getting a device that you plan to use MSN on, and the FM signal range and quality of data has left me a bit underwhelmed. Once again the TomToms "Live" feature has found a great way to provide real-time information to me regardless of where I am. Yes, this feature is free for the first three months, and then runs about $10 a month. If you buy this GPS, try the Live feature out for a week or so and if you don't see the value, then go back to buying printed maps, because you are not ready for the future of GPS devices. One of the interesting features of the Live service is the ability to use Google search right from the device. At first I was not sure what use this would be, then I found myself in a situation where a location I thought should be a POI was not found on the device, or perhaps I was not looking in the right place, or had the category wrong... who knows.. But I went to the Google search feature, and told it what I was looking for, and Google pulled up some listings just like it does on your computer, and I selected what I wanted, and the device created the route from that. So for some reason if the GPS device can't understand or find what you are looking for, then Google is there to fill in the gap. Another great feature of the Live service is the location of cheap gas! Yes, that's right, the Live service can tell you all about the gas prices around you, and help you get to the cheapest. Who couldn't benefit from that? Additionally, the "TomTom At Home" software that you install on your computer does a great job of updating the device, make changes to it or even plan routes or travel from it. Lots of GPS's lets you update the device from the web, but none allow as much interaction with the device outside of basic map updates then the "At Home" software. If being able to interact with the GPS device using your computer is important to you, then I would suggest getting a TomTom for now. For me, this device has all you can ask for in a car GPS (PND for you tech geeks), and the price is right. The device is advanced, yet easy to interact with, so I feel even for a first time GPS user, or non-tech type of person, you would still be very happy. I have spent a long time on my quest for a great GPS device, and I hope this little bit of information will be helpful to you on yours.Get more detail about TomTom XL 340S Live 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable Internet Connected GPS Navigator.

Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Buy Now


Having owned this unit for two years, I agree with every positive word. But the 350's time has come and gone. It's time to consider the newer, less-expensive Nuvis out there, unless you can get this for $100 or less.Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator.

Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor Order Now


I've found this bike computer disappointing and frustrating to use ever since I bought it a year and a half ago, and I've finally tossed it - no need to try to fix it since it never operated satisfactorily out of the box, and I don't want to foist it on someone else via the 2nd hand market. If it only did what it says it does, I'd be happy - but at best it provides only approximate data readouts that jump around from one moment to the next, and at worst it just quits. It functions well only at constant speeds on level ground, but once you start climbing, the speed and angle of climb readouts constantly jump around and are almost useless. And the heart rate monitor is finicky - works most of the time but can also jump around to 3/2 or double your actual rate. Recently it has been turning itself off in the middle of rides - quite exasperating since I time myself over a regular challenging route. Needless to say, it's a poor value for the high cost. This is my 3rd Garmin GPS, and it is definitely my last.Get more detail about Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor.

Lowest Price Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator (Factory Refurbished)


I've had Garmin's in the past, and decided to upgrade to a larger screen and smaller unit with this purchase.

The first problem I noticed was that when the volume was set to 100%, the speaker clipped out. Maybe that's why it was a refurb? But if so they should have fixed it. It's very annoying and for the most part the volume needed to be 100% to hear it over the road noise and radio.

The FM Transmitter... useless. When using it, you can't listen to your radio. But worse than that, there's a lot of static no matter which station I tried.

Finally... it displays the speed limit, but this was highly inaccurate. Many roads I was on showed different posted speed limits so I'm not sure how useful this feature is.

I'm still giving 3 stars because the GPS functionality itself is good, including the text-to-speech. But this unit had issues and I returned it to look for a different model without the FM Transmitter and hopefully the speaker will be fine.Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator (Factory Refurbished).

Save DeLorme Earthmate PN-30 Realtree Handheld GPS with 1:100k Topographic, Detailed Street Maps, and POIs


By God's grace, we ordered this item for my dad's birthday and he has enjoyed it very much!! He is an avid fisherman and hunter and he has used it several times for the local lakes. He got the Navonics package for our area and it works great. The only thing he did not like, was that it took him a while to figure it all out. However, he takes it with him when ever he goes fishing and he really likes it!! GOD bless<>DeLorme Earthmate PN-30 Realtree Handheld GPS with 1:100k Topographic, Detailed Street Maps, and POIs.

Discount Garmin nüvi 1250T 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic


I agree with that there must be something wrong with this model. I got this model as a birthday gift in August, and the screen's frozen more times than it works. It sometimes shuts itself off, sometimes it won't turn off even if pressing the power button, and sometimes won't turn on...get another model than this one. Generally speaking Garmin's are great...no clue what happened with the 1250TGet more detail about Garmin nüvi 1250T 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic.

The list includes Roadmate 1200 as one of the models this mount is compatible to and is NOT true! It is not compatible if it does not come with the cradle that holds the mount and the GPS unit together. Waste of time and money. Why sell half a product? The mount should include the piece that allows you to connect it to the actual GPS! HORRIBLE SELLER!!! Will not buy from them again.Get more detail about Magellan Maestro 3100 3110 3120 3140 3150 3200 3210 3220 3250 4000 4040 4050 4200 4210 4220 4250 Roadmate 360 760 800 860T 1200 2000 2200T Crossover 3000T 3050T 6000T GPS Combo Dash / Windshield Mount.
