Sony NAVU 83T
Review of Sony NV-U83T by cperk

Advantages: Large bright screen, loud voice, superior suction mount, good navigation
Disadvantages: Slow calculating routes

...While no GPS is perfect, Sony has done a pretty good job with this one. The 4.8" screen is crisp and bright, touch screen responds well, bluetooth works the best of any other unit I tried. Routing is decent, POI icons are branded, not generic which is really nice. You can also select the size of fonts and icons. The mount is absolutely the best. Power and TMC connect to it so the unit can be removed quickly. The suction cup actually sticks to the ...
...to have some issues that Sony claims to have fixed with a firmware update. One of them is the route calculation and recalculation times. IMO this is the major flaw with the unit. While not unbearable, both the calculating route and recalculation are slower than other units. I've owned and tried about 20 different units in the past year, and I must say this is by far my favorite. ... Read review

High Quality GPS System!
Review of Garmin nuvi 260W by BiteDownHard

Advantages: Loud, Distinct, Reliable
Disadvantages: Design kinda bigger...

The Garmin Nuvi is a lot better than all of the other GPS systems out in the market today. The sound is 100% better than any other. When you put in your location and where you need to go it will tell you outloud like any other normal system. The roads on the map are color coated so you know exactally where to go and this makes it very hard to get lost. When you are sopose to turn, it will say where to go but one of the advantages are that it will ... Read review

TomTom GO 720 - A great Unit
Review of TomTom GO 720 by bobbyb0322

Advantages: Ease of use, aux power cord, computer addon's
Disadvantages: Scrolling through the map is difficult.

I bought my TomTom Go 720 about a year ago. I have had great luck using it and really like it alot. It is very easy to use and the menu navigation is very easy. The screen is easy to see night or day with the great feature to change the colors at night to prevent night blindness. I like the fact that you can hook it up to the computer and download places of interest such as restaurant locations to airports. You can also download member corrections ... Read review

Great for anyone on the go!
Review of TomTom ONE XL by jluvsbsb

Advantages: easy to use, very helpful, time saver, reliable
Disadvantages: may be distracting while driving

This GPS unit is so easy to use and program. I loved the touch screen, it made it very easy to plug in the street names or even search for a restaurant or theatre, and it was perfect for a long road trip we took and worth having for that. The voice navigation also was a great feature as most GPS units and I liked that it could be changed or turned off as well. Also a great feature is that it works in the USA and Canada and you can download maps onto ...
...voice navigator. I also liked that it has a search feature & Icons that show you where certain things are nearby like for finding specific businesses or hospitals, gas stations etc. Also liked how it informs you of toll's and can give you a alternate route to go if you want to avoid them. Great product! ... Read review
