If you’re wondering which GPS to buy, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been covering the GPS marketplace for various websites and also publications for two years. A lot has changed in those two years. If you’re like most folks the GPS marketplace is a little difficult to understand. So, in this article I’m going to give you a feel for what you need to be looking for and also leave [...]

This Garmin GPS 2010 Round Up will help you decide which Garmin GPS to buy in 2010. You see, since last year, Garmin has really solidified their market share in the United States, leaving TomTom and Magellan pretty much in the dust. I’m not saying I don’t like TomTom and Magellan. I do. I like them both. They both have excellent products. And, there are sometimes some compelling reasons [...]

The Garmin nüvi 1300 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator is essentially the same as the nüvi 1200, but with a widescreen. With the Garmin nüvi 1300 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator, you get an easy to use, up-to-date user interface, ecoRouting (gives you the most fuel efficient route), and text-to-speech. It’s also got an public transit mode and an optional pedestrian mode. For [...]

The nüvi 1200 series is one of their newer series, which combines up-to-date technology with a simple user interface. The Garmin nüvi 1260/1260T 3.5-inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator has real time traffic, Bluetooth, ecoRoute (a feature that is supposed to choose the most fuel efficient route), and a pedestrian navigation feature (optional). The only possible drawback is its smaller screen. It’s [...]

The Garmin nüvi 1200 3.5-inch portable GPS navigator is not for everyone. I’m not saying it’s a bad device. It’s not. Garmin’s put a lot into this, and for the current price at Amazon (around $100), it’s well worth it. But you’re just not going to get the bells and whistles you might expect. It does have text-to-speech, which means it tells you what streets to turn on, but it doesn’t [...]

One of my favorite GSP navigators from Garmin is the nüvi 885/885T. What doesn’t this GPS system have? Not much! For starters, it’s got voice activation and assistance with the proper lane to get into when you’re on a wide street or busy intersection. Of course, the Garmin nüvi 885/885T 4.3-inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator has plenty of other bells and whistles, too. It’s [...]

What’s so cool about the Garmin nüvi 850 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator, and the whole 800 line, is the fact that Garmin’s added speech recognition. Instead of using the touch screen, the Garmin nüvi 850 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator can actually recognize your voice and carry out your commands. In addition, the Garmin nüvi 850 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator [...]

The Garmin nüvi 775/775T 4.3-inch Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic might easily be the best gps system on the market, especially for the price. Like the nüvi 765, the 775 has tons of great features. Among other great features, it’s got text-to-speech and FM audio capability. In addition, it’s got Bluetooth and real time traffic. Garmin’s 7X5 series all have Lane Assist, which [...]
