Disadvantages: Haven't found any

...We recently upgraded to the Garmin StreetPilot C550 and it has been WONDERFUL!! After using an outdated GPS from the Ice Age for so long, I didn't know how to act. My husband and I have a business to which we run appointments all over the state, especially in very rural counties where if your lost the closest living thing to get directions from is a cow. So far we have found every Appointment . For those of you looking for a good quality, easy ...
...it works beautifully. It delivered 6 vacation needing adults to the sunny white sands of Florida with no problems, it finds you places to refuel both you and the car and places for the ladies to shop.

Advantages: Very affordable and easy to use.
Disadvantages: The maps are outdated and should be upgraded if possible.

I am a Real Estate Agent, so I spend a lot of time traveling locally, looking for houses, buildings and land in places I've never been before. This GPS system has been a god send for me. My husband bought the GPS StreetPilot for me as a Christmas gift, and I was thrilled. The price was extremely affordable and has been more than worth it. I was not familiar with navigational systems before owning this one. I was under the impression that a monthly ...
...Besides the good price, I have found the system to be very easy to learn and to operate. It is very user friendly. You can save your favorite locations, which includes home, and it also saves your "recent" locations as well. If you need to use an address for a second time, it is there at the touch of your screen. You do not have to re-enter it. You can find anything you want from wherever you are. You can find gas stations, restaurants, hotels, etc. ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, useful for all journeys
Disadvantages: None encountered so far

GARMIN GPSMAP 96 I was chatting with an aviation chum the other day about the pros and cons of the various GPS units out there. Due to parkinsonism I no longer fly and learned at a time when GPS for the private pilot was a mere gleam in its inventors eye! A lot of pilots are very sceptical that newbies are relying far too much on GPS systems for navigation, rather than building on the basics (wizz-wheel, maps etc) so that they encounter difficulty ...
...right as my friend, who is a learner of this new-school, told me that without the basics the use of GPS is like cooking with a microwave without knowing about flavour, i,e,, it can be done but isn't really worthwhile. This GPS unit (see the manufacturers spec for full description of what it can do) is, I am told, extremely easy to use with a very user-friendly interface. It has multiple way-points and comes pre-loaded with the Jeppesen database ... Read review

Advantages: waterproof
Disadvantages: none

...This is the base model Garmin that has mapping capabilities so at around 120 dollars it is the cheapest way to get started in whatever your new endeavor is. The casing is blue and black so while walking through the woods it does not make you stand out to the people on the trails. The black grips on the side are perfect, when out on the water fishing, to grip onto so you do not drop this unit. In the event you do slip and drop the unit it comes with ...
...it is waterproof so there are no worries about ruining it in the water..in fact I frequently rinse it off in the nearby rivers. The only thing I would recommend is that you do not purchase the carrying case as it covers the internal antenna blocking signal to the unit. I hope this helps. ... Read review
