Garmin StreetPilot C550, our new best friend.
Review of Garmin StreetPilot C550 by CMB74

Advantages: Getting to your destination without any worries.
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 After using an outdated GPS from the Ice Age for so long, I didn't know how to act.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. For those of you that multi-task while driving like us, you can't beat the added features of Bluetooth and the MP3 player that comes real handy for those who travel in areas that have absolutely no music stations....Good Luck in your search! ...

The Nuvi 260 Takes You Where You Want To Be
Review of Garmin nüvi 260 by bigwerd07

Advantages: Nice Touch screen, Clear Audio Directions, Great Features
Disadvantages: Voice Gets Annoying, Points Of Interest Feature Baron, Late Turns Occasionally

...GPS systems. I bought the Garmin nuvi 260 from Best Buy for 275 dollars. I had read good things about it, and was going to choose between this model and a TomTom model. The 260 happened to be on sale, so I selected it. This was the first GPS system I have ever purchased. I hooked it up in my Jeep Commander and typed in the address to my house to test it out. The monitor on the unit is a little over 3 inches, I think the box said 3.5 inches. The ...
...to make them. That is very annoying! Another thing I dislike is the points of interest are kind of baron. They are missing some very popular and famous places. All in all, I think the Nuvi 260 from Garmin is an excellent investment. I would recommend it to all. ... Read review

Versatile GPS at a reasonable price
Review of Garmin GPSMAP 96 by shibainudogpersn

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

After a wander among the showcase where they were exposed boaters, and after a careful reading of characteristics, I decided: Garmin Nuvi 200 ... ****** Features: I chose because it was one of the few in which they are loaded not only maps of Italy but across Europe. >>> Display touchscreen size of 2.8x2.1 inches, very clear ...
