Low Price TomTom XL 325 4.3-inch Portable GPS Navigator


The screen size and ease of use is fantastic. I just plugged it in my computer and the tutorial did a great job of showing me how to use it. It's so easy that I'd even recommend it to a technophobe like my dad.
The pre-loaded maps were more than sufficient for my hometown (Anchorage,AK) and if they are good for here, I imagine they would be good for any major US city without having to pay for extra services.
My favorite thing about it though is definitely how customizable the display is. You can download all sorts of voice and icons from the website and load them up via the enclosed USB cord including some very cute fan type things. Mine is all set up to reflect my family's favorite tv show to the absolute amusement of my friends.
My husband's favorite feature is that you don't have to use it in the car, you can carry it in your pocket if you are walking some place.
Wonderful gadget for the price. I'm looking forward to using it on my next vacation. Get more detail about TomTom XL 325 4.3-inch Portable GPS Navigator.

Save TomTom XL 330-S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator


I bought this new tomtom xl 330-s from costco. I opted to have this GPS after comparing it to the Magellan 1445t
I like the 3 dimensional look of the Tomtom especially when I am approaching the entrance of the tunnel it gives
me a large overview of how its like to navigate in the tunnel as well even the signal is off.
I have only two negative feed back. First when after crossing the 59th bridge of NYC it does not know where to direct me to the most quickest route but instead route to a further route.

Second after I try to update it with the home tomtom for free map update. My tomtom gps map has completely disappeared
in other words Tomtom hijacked my map from the Gps and they try to let me download another updated map for certain
amount of fee for a brand new gps. hell no!I was really disappointed. As of this writing I am returning this back to Costco.
I tried for several hours to connect and reboot my gps but it always says no map found. So don't try to go and
update your map because you find out your map in your Tomtom gps will completely disappear.Get more detail about TomTom XL 330-S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.

Discount Motorola MOTONAV TN20 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech


There is nothing wrong with the Motorola GPS. Its very light weight, small with a 3.5" x 2" screen. It has plenty of features like search catagories (fuel, hotel, shopping and so on), enter names of businesses to search, favorite places with catagories and of course enter an address.

First I'll start with the good stuff:

You can navigate your way by the shortest time or shortest route. You can even create detours. That is a nice feature. You can select what to avoid like ferries, gated communities, toll roads and highways.

The signal is comperable to many other GPS devices. It gets a signal after being outside 3-5 minutes, but can't get a signal in downtown Chicago due to the buildings.

And now the bad stuff. The voice is very robotic compared to others.

This is my 4th GPS, and quite honestly I like the others. The Motorola is just lacking. You can search for businesses, but it rarely finds the one you are looking for. Searching "Best Buy" will never show the popular business, even when standing outside of a Best Buy that has been there 15 years. However, it will find "Best Buy Chinese Restaurant" 29 miles away.

Another major issue is the fact that it sometimes when entering a direct address, it will tell you there are no address numbers at all on that road and it will point you to the halfway point of the road. Huh? Even a street with dozens of houses on it, the GPS will tell you that there are no addresses and tell you to set it to the halfway of the street.

Searching for shopping in general is a chore, because there are no catagories or filters. Everything appears as one long list.

This GPS cannot find anything. I've tried, it is a little frustrating. Its like you need to be at the location and mark it as a favorite in order to find it again. Not always, but a lot of the time.

I don't like it. There is nothing wrong with it, but I just feel there are better GPS devices out there.Get more detail about Motorola MOTONAV TN20 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech.

Cheapest Garmin Belt Clip for Geko 101, Geko 201 and Geko 301 (010-10380-00)


This is my second belt clip. When I purchased my Garmin 60CSX about a year ago I read reviews about the belt clip being fragile. I used the clip for several months without any problems. This fall I was at a Phillies playoff game going up steps and the GPS caught a railing tearing it off my belt and breaking the belt clip. Had I not had the lanyard looped around my belt the GPS would have dropped 3 stories. My advice is when using the belt clip, always secure the lanyard to something on your clothing or belt.Get more detail about Garmin Belt Clip for Geko 101, Geko 201 and Geko 301 (010-10380-00).

Cheap Bushnell Onix400 GPS XM Receiver


I have no idea how well the ONX 400 device functions. I found that the documentation to be poor at best. My major problem has been my inability to download maps to use with it. I have found Bushnell's GPS web site to be clunky, poor quality. You go through the download process and my system hangs and I do not get the maps. When you try to email for help using the website I get an error saying the bushenell email address is bad. So far this product has been a waste of time and money.Get more detail about Bushnell Onix400 GPS XM Receiver.

Buying BRACKETRON MOBILE GRIP-IT WINDSHIELD


This is a great device from bracketron. It is multi purpose as all the attachments of the holder can be individually adjusted according to the needs of your cell phone / mobile / GPS / media player / sat radio. It adjusts easily for anything. The screen holding rubber is good and doesn't come off so easily even with a gentle pulling. The flexible tube is good quality. Definitely a 5 star product, worth the price. I got it at a discount ;-).Get more detail about BRACKETRON MOBILE GRIP-IT WINDSHIELD.

Purchase Zoombak ZMBK346 Advanced GPS Universal Locator


Works marginally well, part of the time. Sometimes it shows leave/enter when it is stationary for hours, wrong addresses, battery life is not good, and tracking history is all over the page (doesn't follow the streets/highways). Might be okay for a very general location, nothing to use to pinpoint though.Get more detail about Zoombak ZMBK346 Advanced GPS Universal Locator.

Order Garmin GDB 50 MSN Direct Receiver


[...]

I now wish I had not purchased mine. I've owned it since Jan 2009 and it worked ok at first. But the "send to GPS" function via MSN direct through Bing Maps hasn't worked for weeks.

The MSN Direct market has been eliminated by GPS enabled phones.

I'm hoping Amazon will have mercy on me and allow me a return for credit. I want my subscription money back from Microsoft as well.Get more detail about Garmin GDB 50 MSN Direct Receiver.

Where To Buy Super Trackstick GPS Tracking Device with Powerful "Trackstick Manager" Software for Windows Download


Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1L2CA38W80JFU Video: Bug Trackstick customer support wont assist with.

Buyer Beware! Trackstick customer support is absolutely horrible. I've had our Super Trackstick for a couple years now and rarely use it, but once in a while I dust it off and try to get it working again. Any emails to their customer support all seem to get routed through one very useless person who after providing you with a couple of useless and insulting support tips like changing batteries and erasing the memory finally tells you shes done helping you and you should buy a new one. Totally inappropriate. We followed her advice one and upgraded from the original Trackstick to the Super... only to run into more problems.

Attached video is illustration of latest rapid red/green blinking issue they failed to provide support on.
They don't even have a support forum or community to self serve the issues when they seem to be incapable of providing support.

Aside from that, device is nice a rugged and seems to do exactly what we need it to.. track expeditions... if it weren't for the horrible company and support :/Get more detail about Super Trackstick GPS Tracking Device with Powerful "Trackstick Manager" Software for Windows Download.
