Instead of just covering various GPS systems, I wanted to take a moment and talk about GPS’s, in general—what they are and how they’ve changed our lives. Right now, I can think of a few ways that GPS’s have changed my life. For one, I became fascinated with everything GPS a few years ago. That resulted in several websites on the subject and literally hundreds of articles, which have been republished [...]

Pet Tube is currently the rage! Being an owner of dogs and cats (1 dog and 2 cats, right now), I can easily see why Pet Tube is so hot! Before I discovered Pet Tube, I used to use either those folding cardboard containers with handles, or a plastic pet box. If you’ve ever had a dog or cat go to the bathroom on one of those cardboard containers, then I’m sure you’re with me that they’re [...]

One of the most common questions I get is what is the cheapest GPS that has text-to-speech. I completely understand why I’m being asked that question. Text-t–speech is one of the “must have” features of vehicle GPS devices in my book. Text-to-speech is where the GPS actually tells you what streets to turn on. It’s doesn’t just say, “Turn Right,” but “Turn [...]

Garmin’s 465T is one of the first GPS devices to be designed just for truckers. Although other manufacturers have tried to design a trucker oriented GPS device before, none have really succeeded. With the 465T, however, it looks like Garmin has come out with a really good product. Since, trucker’s depend on their equipment for money, I wanted to take a close look at the 465T, and especially air [...]

In this post, I’m going to talk about the best Garmin GPS 2010, but in price ranges. It’s not really fair to compare a $300 model to a $100 model. Also, I want you to keep in mind Garmin’s new 3700 series, which is going to blow the roof [...]

Click here, to find out the current price for the nuvi 765t. At the time of this writing, a new 765T will run you slightly over $200, whereas a refurbished model will be slightly less. (My opinion, spring for the new [...]

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 [...]

In this Garmin GPS text to speech round-up, I’m going to tell you about the best selling Garmin GPS systems that have text to speech. Actually, text to speech is almost not worth talking about this year, because virtually all Garmin’s line of vehicle GPS devices has it. Text to speech means that your GPS actually tells you the name of the street name you’re turning on. Instead of just saying: [...]

When the first Bluetooth GPS receiver came out, honestly I thought that was something I didn’t need. Actually, I’m not one of those drivers who spends a lot of time talking on the phone. Later when I upgraded my GPS to a unit that had Bluetooth, I loved being able to talk “hands-free” so much I would never consider buying a unit without that capability. Buying a GPS is sometimes [...]
