My parents bought this car in the middle of 2008. At first i thought "um a lexus, ...great" but when i went inside the car i saw leather seats, useful accesories and the first thing that caught my eye was the GPS system in the centre of the control panel. I decided that the first thing that i would do when we drove in it was to test the system. I wanted to test, accuracy, speed, respo...

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...

The Mio DigiWalker C310 is a very accurate GPS.  Driving down the freeway, it will announce the distance to an exit just as I pass beneath the freeway sign with the same distance labeled.  The maps are up to date with only a few issues I've noticed due to changes made in the last few years.  The GPS has two viewing modes.  One is more like looking down at a map, while th...

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...

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...

I have had vehicles before that had built in navigation systems but they have all been complicated to use, taking hours and hours reviewing the manual to figure it out, but I recieved the Tom Tom gps system for a birthday present in July and it has been smooth sailing ever since, I have gone done to Florida to visit family from there to Atlanta amd then on to Boston and never have I made  ...

I just bought mine last weekend and it was an incredible price! I can't beleive all the places, or all the functions on this thing. Very accurate in finding gas stations, and addresses that you put in yourself. Pre loaded ATM's, Hospitals, Resturants, Parks and on and on. I bought mine as a "Toy", but I can see now that it's more than a toy, it's going to be a very hel...

I've used pretty much every type of GPS you can imagine, including the old-school monochrome GPS that only told you how to get somewhere if you've already been there once with it. This device far outscores tom-tom and a number of other GPSs i've used, including military-grade guidance systems designed for navy vessels. Garmin is the only company that understands that 90% of all user...

My husband has been looking for a GPS for a while, and up until now has not found one that he's been happy with.  Well, HSN was featuring the Magellan RoadMate 1470, and we decided to try it.  After all, if it wasn't to our liking, we had thirty days in which to return it.My husband seems to really like this system.  The feature I like the most is the 4.7" widescreen...

I discovered that GP, from the small print on the battery, stands for Gold Peak. It is a Hong Kong based Chinese company that specializes in the manufacture of cheap batteries and battery charger. And I do mean cheap. A packet of 2 300mAh AAA rechargeable batteries by GP costs only $2.50. The rechargeable batteries produced by GP generally costs between $2.50 to $6.00. The cheapest rechargeable...

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...

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 bought the Ionic Breeze with Germicidal Protection because I thought it would help my daughter and cut down on the dust in our house. She had a constant runny nose and I thought this might help.  I thought about putting it in her room, but decided to try it in the family room first because that is where we spend most of our time.  I decided if I felt that it was effective, I ...

Now I know you are wondering...who is Geoffrey? Geoffrey is my GPS navigation system. He is a Garmin nuvi 350 GPS. He is named after the butler from the show "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and yes he speaks to me in an English accent. That is only one of the few amazing features of this GPS. My cousins came down from New York last night and they had one of these and I fell in love it....
