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 [...]

Garmin vs TomTom? It’s frankly a place many of us get to when we’re deciding which GPS to buy. You like TomTom’s features for the price, but you’re sort of blown away by Garmin’s great product line. You can decide which Garmin or which TomTom to get later. For now, to solve the conundrum of Garmin vs TomTom, let’s get an overview of each company’s product line. [...]

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 [...]

Looking for the best Garmin GPS 2010? Well, the year’s close to half way over and the jury’s still out, but there are some solid contenders for first place. 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 [...]

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. [...]

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 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 [...]
