If you’re interested in the true cutting edge, state of the art GPS device, then the Garmin nüvi 3790T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator is exactly what you need to be looking for. It is currently, without doubt, the coolest, most function laden GPS on the market! Can you tell that I like it? Here’s a few of the phenomenal features you’ll get when you buy the Garmin nüvi 3790T 4.3-Inch Portable [...]

With the Garmin nüvi 3760T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator and its sisters, the nuvi 3750 and 3790, Garmin is really leaving the competition in the dust. There are so many features that this particular GPS device has, it’s hard to know where to start talking about it. Possibly one of my favorite features is the fact that you can orient the nuvi 3760T either horizontally or vertically. The horizontal [...]

Thinking that the age of stand alone GPS devices has past, and that we all might as well download apps to our iPods? That might be the future of GPS technology, but quite frankly, Garmin doesn’t believe this. As a matter of fact, they’re coming out with a whole new line of stand alone GPS devices, the 3700 line. Here you see the Garmin nüvi 3750 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator. With it’s [...]

If you want a Garmin GPS system, but really would like a larger screen, then the Garmin nüvi 1450 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator could easily be the right choice for you. Personally, I really like larger screens. Although, you do need to think about the following–windshield size. The car I drive has a fairly large windshield (Honda Civic), so I don’t mind a larger GPS screen on my dashboard. [...]

So, what’s the best golf GPS you could buy? As part of my expansion of this site into all things GPS, we’re going to start covering the golf GPS market. Just so you know, I’m remarkably opinionated about golf GPS devices. I play golf, and I really love GPS technology. (When I say that I play golf, I’m not saying that I’m any good…just that I play!  ) So, take my suggestions with a grain [...]

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 [...]
