The Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic might easily be Garmin’s best deal in their lower priced models. Right now the Garmin 265WT is selling for about $150 at Amazon. (That’s about the cheapest I’ve found it.) What’s so cool about the nuvi 265 WT is all of the features you get for the price. Garmin nuvi 265WT Features The [...]

The TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator is probably one of the best buys that TomTom offers currently. Coming in under $130, the TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator is packed with features. Let me tell you about a few of them. To start with the TomTom XL 350 uses the same user interface that the TomTom EASE does. That’s a real improvement for consumers in my book, and it’s [...]

I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about the TomTom XXL 550T’s features. You can learn all about that by reading my review of the TomTom XXL 550. What I would like to do is just draw your attention to the difference between the XXL 550 and the XXL 550T. The only difference is the 550T comes with a lifetime subscription to TomTom’s real-time traffic updates. With real-time [...]

The TomTom XXL 550 5-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator is an excellent, mid-priced navigator with a really big screen. Maybe it’s an age thing, but the older I get the more I appreciate a larger GPS screen. I used to have a Garmin with a 3.5-inch screen. That was fine until the 4.3-inch screens came out. What a difference the bigger screen makes. (It’s a whopping 60% larger. You wouldn’t [...]

The Garmin nüvi 295W Wi-Fi portable GPS navigator represents yet another one of Garmin’s innovative, new products. Another trend going on here is the merger of GPS devices and cell phones. You can see this both from manufacturer’s like Garmin and also from cell phone makers, where you can get maps and software that will turn your cell phone into a GPS device. We’ve got a long way to go, though [...]

I’m biased towards the Magellan Maestro 4040 4.3-inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator. As a matter of fact, I’m biased towards virtually all of Magellan’s products. I know they’re not the industry leader—Garmin is. I know that Magellan’s not coming out with cutting edge GPS devices every other day like Garmin is. I also know that Magellan builds a really quality product and [...]

This post is sort of a continuation of my post about the problems found with the Garmin 465T, which is Garmin’s newest model designed just for truckers. Another Garmin model designed for truckers, busses, and other larger vehicles is the Garmin StreetPilot 7200 7-inch portable GPS navigator. The StreetPilot 7200 has a huge, 7-inch screen. This is measured on the diagonal. That’s a 60% increase [...]

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 [...]
