Garmin nüvi 680 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


On its maiden voyage, I traveled about 20 miles from my home, I live in the country. I then touched the "Go Home" box, thinking that it would back track what I had just traveled since it was the fastest route home. With in 30 seconds it misidentified the county road I was on. A minute later it told me to turn left onto a gravel road that ran along the paved road for a few miles.This happen a few times. And yes it did route me the long way home. And yes places are no longer there that the 680 say are. Yep just what most of the reviews say! But I think that's the nature of the beast of most GPS systems. But I can't tell you how many times I've stopped at a busy intersection looking for a street sign and couldn't find one. This will help and the ... Read More:

Garmin StreetPilot c340 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


The Garmin Streetpilot C340 is a very nice product, especially for the price. The text to speech feature is wonderful, the maps are clear and easy to read, and the touch screen is easy to use. It is very easy to set up, just plug into the computer for the initial set up and charge, and then it is ready to go. The preloaded destinations are plentiful, although not as up-to-date as I would have liked. However, I've talked to other people with different GPS systems from other makers, and this is a common problem. I use the Garmin daily, even when going to destinations I'm familiar with because I like the estimated distance and time of arrival functions. It also solves the problem of reading street signs at night, since the street names are on ... Read More:

Dash Express Two-Way Internet-Connected Portable GPS Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Dash


I have been a GPS user for many years, originally the Garmin GPS V and more recently the Navigon 5100. I originally got a gps for hiking, but have found it invaluable for driving navigation while at home and while traveling. Once live traffic info became available at a reasonable price (lifetime on the Navigon 5100), I got that, but have found it disappointing, because that live traffic service is way too vague and incomplete, generally ignoring anything off-freeway, which is most of my driving.

The Dash service is what makes this gps unique, due to being connected and user-configurable:
- It delivers live traffic from other Dash users in the area
- If there are no recent Dash data, it delivers traffic info from the web, ... Read More:

Garmin GPSMAP 76CSX Handheld GPS with Barometric Altimeter and Electronic Compass

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


I was looking for a water proof GPS unit to take both tour kayaking & backpacking. Looked around for at least a year then bought this one. Having logged over 100 mi. paddled this season I can say that it works well in water. I typically mount it under the forward deck lines & secure it with a clip. No water problems so far, it's been pounded by many waves. -I'm more worried about heat from sun than the water. Having the compass navigate a course on water has come in handy, I sometimes paddle in fog or bad weather. Match my heading to the bearing of the next way point & I'm going the right way. It can tell me distance left to go, time remaining at current speed, etc. I have found that for the compass to work well when traveling at low speeds ... Read More:

GARMIN 010-00622-45 Colorado 400T Portable GPS System With Preloaded Topographic Maps

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


After checking out several handheld GPSs, I went with the Garmin Colorado 400T because of the many state-of-the-art features. The tactile feel is of top quality, it's highly accurate, very sensitive, and the ergonomics make it a pleasure to use! My primary use is for geocaching and this puppy rocks in that application. One problem: when I encounter other geocachers, they want to play with it and have numerous questions!!! Note: the Colorado 400T takes regular size SD Cards, NOT mini SDs, (that's GOOD!) Another plus: Garmin's customer service is unsurpassed if you ever have any questions...

Garmin StreetPilot c330 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


The greatest thing for the wrong turn person. I wonder though how it chooses it's routes sometime. When it tells you to make a right and you know that the left is quicker. But then, I use it when I need to go somewhere new. It is even better now that I upgraded the maps. ($70.00) It will be in my car forever.

GARMIN Zumo 450 3.5-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


I am going to write a quick review. I first would like to mention that I have seen many Nav systems over the years. Way back when I was part of developing the portable Nav systems for in the car. This unit is nice and functions as described. The POIs are great and routes well ... but ... the user interface is not good. They don't display importan information and the menu system is hard to navigate through. They strongly lack in this area, I would recommend you try one in a local store first or consider some of the other models such as Mio Technology, iNav Corp, etc.

Sorry the review is so short but I hope this helps you in making your decision ... the point consider trying the interface or be aware there are better ones out there. All in all its a little over ... Read More:

Garmin Oregon 400T 3-Inch Touchscreen Handheld GPS Unit with Preloaded Topographic Maps

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


I bought Oregon 400C. I have Topo 2008 and many other Garmin maps on micro SD cards. No matter which Garmin Oregon you pick this model offers all you need in a mapping hand held GPS device. Fast, convenient with its touch screen interface and it is very compact. The only con is the relatively low battery life but with charged 2700+ mAh NiMH or Lithium batteries in particular you can use it for 2-3 days. Compared to the Garmin Colorado this device has much better battery life, smaller profile, and much, much better user interface. If you need a reliable, easy to use and powerful hand held GPS don't look further. Buy it!

GARMIN 010-00567-00 Zumo 550 GPS Receiver

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > GPS and Navigation
from: Garmin


First of all, don't buy elsewhere...promises of lower prices are simply NYC scam jobs...

The Zumo allows you to integrate navi, phone, and SDHC music with basically no effort...

The product is awesome in every way...waterproof for a motorcycle...

I coulpled this with a scala rider 2 and it works great...a bit hard to hear at highway speeds but no complaint...I'm very happy with the zumo...you will be too!

Advice: Get it hardwired to your bike...get Garmin 'bolt' so bracket cannot be taken (it's security for the bracket)
