I have not purchased this phone yet but my uncle has this phone. Here is what I thought of this phone after using it for a day.Now a days almost all phones come in with a built-in GPS and luckily this phone also has a built-in GPS with A-GPS. It also has a digital compass. I live in India and even though this tracking system is not very much applicable here it does serve quite a good purpose wh...

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...

My parents went to Hungary last week and because they got lost and couldn't find some places, they decided to buy a GPS system for our car. A friend of the family recommended the AMCOR Navigation 3750 with Eastern Europe maps, as we live in Romania.  I'll start with the clean and beautiful silver design. It's actually rather small as it fits in your palm, but that's no prob...

This is very easy to use, especially for those who may be technologically challenged. The buttons on the touch screen are big and clear and its easy to navigate through and use.It comes with a car charger so you never have to worry about it dying while you're on the road. Its got great search features - you can find stores, restraurants, nearby banks and gas stations with ease. You can sele...

This bicycling helmet has stood up well to several years of use.  Fortunately, I haven’t had to test it’s safety properties by falling on my head!I purchased this Trek bicycling helmet when I bought my Diamondback Sorrento bike.   Since I have a very small head, I had to search for a medium size youth helmet that wasn’t covered with pink or purple dinosaurs.&nbs...

I bought this GPS six months ago.  My wife fought me because it was so much.  She said we could just use google maps or mapquest to get where we needed to go.  She apologized a week after we got it and admitted it's something we needed to have.  The GPS not only tells you turn by turn instructions, it tells you which lane you need to be in for an upcoming turn. ...

This navigation system is great.    I have had it for about 9 months and use it ALL the time.   It is easy to input data into the system.   It actually comes with a sylus to make is easier incase you have large fingers (that can be frustrating) but with the stylus it is easy to input data.   it also gives you 3 different screens maps from where to ch...

The Navigon 5100 does look nicer than Garmin 350 that I own. The mount design is exceptional as compared to most of the GPS unit in the market now. The 2D/3D features for navigation is a very advance feature that I like. However, the speaker sound is too low even the level is already at maximum. I could not hear it properly even though it is pretty quiet in the car. One way to go around the pro...

I took the plunge and purchased a Garmin StreetPilot C-340.  After the initial battery charging it was ready to go pretty much right out ot the box.  It came pre-loaded with the current version of the US map so I was on my way.  The GPS does what it says...gets me to my chosen destination with only occasional glitches.  I put it to the test when I traveled out of state and i...

This whole GPS experience that would be a first for me all started out when I walked into a Staples, and saw that there were many items to my interest that were on sale. I walked around, browsing back and forth seeing what I could get a hold of that I knew for sure I would have to wait a couple of weeks even more than a month to see that same item back on sale again. It just so happened that I ...

When one hears the words "best-selling", one can't help but to think that the product is something that they should have had ever since it first came out, or simply "the thing to have" that would possibly drive others jealous (who knows) - in this case, that would refer to none other than the TomTom brand, for which evidently specializes in the creation of GPS (which is ...

For some time I was reseaching GPS systems for my husband whom is a truckdriver, figuring it would make his life much easier. I searched every make and brand I could find, it seemed the TomTom Go rated pretty high, so Last July I finially purchased it, and got an extended warranty for it. It worked really well, It charged quickly, the maps seemed really accurate, it was very easy to use, and na...

When I moved to Oregon last year with my husband, I didn't know where in the world I was going, what streets were one way, and the easiest route to my new job, so I borrowed my sister's Tom Tom (GPS) for about 6 months. My dad came out to visit us shortly before Christmas and realized that I was using my sister's GPS and that I needed one for myself. About 2 weeks later the Garmin c...

We like to call her Maggie (Magellan shortened) & we purchased it 3 months ago.  Being from Hawaii, the roads are much larger in the states & so much easier to get lost, of course in Hawaii if you get lost where can you go, it's an island.  Maggie would've saved my husband & I from much unnecessary fights & stress had we purchased it sooner....

It's probably a little more phone than I need, but I love my Sidekick LX regardless. After years of being with another cellular carrier I made the move to T Mobile so I could be a part of the shared family plan with my husband but mostly because I was so enamored of his Sidekick LX. To be fair to my old phone, it held a few more standard features than the Sidekick, but the Sidekick has...

the Garmin Nuvi 5000 is an amazing GPS system. This system makes it veryy easy to travel especially for people like me who drive alot, it makes it impossible to be lost. 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. It has extra features such as a picture viewer ...

What do you get a guy who has everything? I started thinking about a Christmas gift for my fiance in the summer because he has everything! One day he asked his father if he could borrow his GPS unit and upon arriving home he was pretty impressed on how well it worked, so there it was... his Christmas gift... a GPS! But which one?A Best Buy store opened in September...

My sense of direction is very poor. I have a hard time remembering places much less how to get there and back. Well, I am new in this country and going from one place or another is a big deal for me. We live in the country side and places are so far apart. And with the way my Hubby drives... there is no way I would remember things. He is driving me crazy. I can't seem to...

O.K. I admit it. I am a little bit directionally challenged. When I bought my new car in May it did NOT have one of those fancy North, South, East, West thingies built in. The truck I traded in had one, so I could sort of find my way around. Not so after I got my new car. After planning a trip to Kansas City, Kansas in November, I told my husband it would be great if I had a GPS for the trip, a...

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...
