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 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 [...]

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 [...]

The Garmin ASUS M10 Nüvifone is it! With this product, Garmin has seamlessly combined cell phone technology with mobile computing with GPS receivers. There’s really not much the Garmin ASUS M10 Nüvifone can’t do.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Garmin Approach G5 GPS-Enabled Golf Handheld is one of my favorite, high-end golf GPS devices. There are several reasons for this. One is I’m a Garmin man when it comes to automotive GPS’s. Garmin makes quality. I think they have the most innovation and best overall engineering going. That’s sort of a general qualification. Let’s look at a few specific reasons why I really like the Garmin [...]
