It is loaded on my cell phone so I can take it anywhere.  All I have to do is select my destination state, enter my destination address and street and the system will speak to me and give me turn my turn directions.  It even shows a map on the phone’s display so I can get an idea of where I am going.  Unlike most GPS devices, it lets me know when I need to turn at lea...

Last year, my company asked me to lead a project that would have me traveling to manufacturing plants located in very remote places. Some were so remote in that I was given instructions on where to fill my gas tank when it reached the half way mark. I was not at all comfortable with getting lost in the middle of nowhere. In the late 1990s, I traveled alone all over the United States&n...

I have been directionally challenged most of my life, hubby says I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag.   I mentioned to my son that I would like a GPS device for my car.  I have been taking trips back to Michigan to visit family and got lost the last time I went up there.  My son evidently told my husband  I had mentioned  I liked the Garmin Nuvi which I h...

The Garmin Nuvi 350 is a wonderful GPS system.  Everything needed to start using it is enclosed in the box, nothing else to buy.  Within 10 min. I had my home location set and one route saved in my favorites.  Very user friendly, as I had no experience with any other GPS system and I was able to figure this one out in no time.  The size is great with it being small enough th...

After reading all the rave reviews about Garmin Nuvi 350, I decided to purchase it for my personal and business trip purposes. And I really love it. I have been using it wherever I go during vacation and city trips. It is very well-designed and compact which can easily fit in your pocket.  Very bright LCD screen and readable at every angle with text-to-speech feature. The user interface is...

In my year of owning the StreetPilot c330 from Garmin, I've come to understand its nuances and have a firm idea how it works. (It also helped me figure out where I needed to go many times while traveling).I can wholeheartedly recommend the Garmin StreetPilot c330 for almost all needs. Question: Can it help me find specific places?Answer: Yes. It's great at that -- what I like about...

What started out as an un-asked for holiday gift turned into my new favorite toy! Living in a large metropolitan area, I'm frequently driving to new places, even though I've lived here for nearly 15 years. It is so nice to just plug in an address and have my dear, sweet Garmin (who is now like a member of the family...I'm seriously considering adding her to my will) give me turn by ...

I needed a GPS that was easy to use and got me where I had to go, without breaking the bank.  The sales rep recommended the Garmin Street Pilot for first timers, and after looking the features over I decided it would serve its purpose.The StreetPilot is actually very easy to use and the large bright screen makes it very user friendly.  I liked that it had voice turn by turn instructio...

As everybody probably knows my kids took me to Nashville for Mother's Day. My son flew in from New York and my daughter and where going to drive in from Michigan (we both love road trips so we thought it would be fun). Neither my daughter or I are very good at directions and don't really care to read maps (well ok we are not very good at reading maps!). I knew kind of how to get down th...

I bought the Garmin 650 and love it. I also bought the FM Transmitter for traffic updates. Before I go any further I will tell you that I returned it after one week!The FM Transmitter replaces the car charger that comes with your Garmin. It acts as a charger and also is supposed to update you about traffic tie ups and re-route you if necessary. Sounds good right? I thought with the trip to Nash...

Garmins newest GPS system has just come out.  This GPS features all the newest maps of North America with literally MILLIONS of points of interests.  Also this GPS is really easy to use.  All you do is open it out of the box and turn it on.  It instantly looks for the satellite to find your location.  If you wonder if it is free to get the satellite service, yes it is a...

My mother in law has a Garmin and has been very pleased with the results. It has a touch screen and is very easy to use. They were cautious with it at first, only using it to get to places that they were familiar with, but have since branched out and are depending on it to get them wherever they need to go. The interface is user friendly and the speaker is very clear so you don’t have to ...

The Garmin GPS is a great little device for such things as the clear easy to read touch display screen and this particular model is great for the avid traveler even if they are using it on something like an ATV, motorbike or even ski doo.  The unit is waterproof which helps a great deal when you are on one of these machines in the event you are hit by a sudden rain shower or snow storm.&nb...

When we lived in Europe, my husband bought one of those basic GPS systems because he had to travel through several countries to get to his maintenance sites. His main job was to maintain some very expensive equipment for NATO countries. We had a great time going to Holland, Germany, and other countries.Anyway, this GPS helped him to map his trip from Germany to Holland and in fact made it easie...

It has a nice screen size a 5.2" screen very bright but doesnt have a battery. Its stylish and looks good in any car. The directions it gives you are very acurate, and short.

The Garmin Nuvi 760 has many interesting and helpful features besides just providing directions. Audio playback, customizable map vehicles, and many other features make extended car trips much more pleasurable.When I received my Nuvi this holiday season, I was delighted to see the unit was preloaded with Garmin’s latest and greatest maps. The 2009 edition hasn’t steered me wrong yet...

A while back I bought the Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS unit, and it has been great for the price.  The unit itself is very lightweight and compact so I can fit it in my pocket.  The buttons are nice and easy to press, with a nice joystick to make selections on the many menus this GPS has.  One important thing is that it does come with the USB caple to send maps and waypoints easil...

One thing I can not leave my house without is my Garmin Street Pilot.  This item is always on my front windshield of my vechile.  I use to get lost every where I went.  Ever since I bought Garmin I don't have that problem anymore.  Its very easy to use.  All you have to do is type in your destignation and then you are good to go.  It lets you know where to turn...

I love love love this GPS.  My husband & I bought it so that we could use it on our upcoming trip to Disney World.  As soon as we got it, we opened it up, plugged it in to our cigarette lighter in our car and set a destination for the closest Blockbuster. Setting the GPS up was very simple and the screen choices are not only easy to follow and understand, but it's also ea...

This GPS is quite excellent for the price. The GPS is really quite small (about the size of a deck of cards) so it even fits in my pocket. This is good because since I live in a semi-shady part of the neighborhood, whenever I go out I can fit it in my pocket and it won't get stolen. This was a main draw for me. It is also really accurate even with some random alleys. This is really useful f...
