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. [...]

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 [...]

The Garmin nüvi 785W/785WT 4.3-inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic is essentially just like the nüvi 765, except you get a “free” 9 month subscription to MSN real time traffic. Other than that, the two GPS’s are the same. If you’re thinking you’ll need the MSN traffic, then get the Garmin nüvi 785W/785WT 4.3-inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator. It [...]

The Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator might easily be one of the best deals on the market. Not only do you get Garmin’s quality in general, but multi-point routing, Bluetooth, FM transmission, and integrated traffic. Of course, you get text to speech ( saying the street name instead of just “turn right”). For the price the Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-inch widescreen [...]

The Garmin nüvi 755/755T 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator with traffic is a really quality GPS system with lots of bells and whistles for a very competitive price. In addition to text to speech (the ability to actually say the name of the street you’re turning on), the Garmin nüvi 755/755T 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator has multi-point routing and also what’s called FM transmission. FM transmission [...]
