Advantages: Amazing accuracy and fast satellite acquisition time
Disadvantages: No Mac OS compatibility

Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 305 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no device this compact can ...
...reached a pinnacle with the Garmin Forerunner 301. While the 301 delivered accurate heart rate monitoring, good performance tracking, and decent GPS reception, it didn't quite deliver in the design department. The form factor was bulky and wearing it wasn't much different than duct taping a full-sized GPS device to your wrist. Not so with the 305. Garmin's engineers obviously burned the midnight oil and have come up with a waterproof design that, ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: kinda long inputing process

Advantages: Pretty Accurate Disadvantages: some steps take more time to input Recommend to potential buyers: yes Full review I just entered the job market and have attended many job interviews which require driving to unfamilar places. Before I got the Tom Tom I had to look up the address and print out maps on Mapquest everytime. But now with the Tom Tom I save time and paper. Right now I work for a temp agency which sends me to different ...
...The Tom Tom provides clear directions by voice and audio at a glance. Accurate positioning with easy access to traffic information It also calculates smarter routes which I use to remove freeway driving. I am not that great at freeway driving and I find useful that I can remove streets and highways and the news paths are mapped for me. Other stuff: 1 GB internal memory 2 hours of operation unplugged plugged in throught ciggerrate lighters ... Read review

Advantages: gets you where you need to be. you will never be lost
Disadvantages: pre-loaded data can be very out of date, uploading new data is expensive

...I was told that Garmin is the best GPS brand by the sales rep. I was deciding between models mostly based on their sleek design versus price. I went with the c330 because it was a lot cheaper and since it was only a toy for me, I decided I didn't need the extra functionality the more expensive models offered. Once I started using my GPS though, I really can't imagine how I ever lived without one. It has come in handy in countless ways that I never ...
...that everyone needs a GPS. This model is great if you just want the basics and an inexpensive GPS. My only complaint is that some of the pre-loaded maps/data are very out of date (for example, on a road trip we were trying to find a particular fast food restaurant so we selected the nearest one on the GPS and once we got to the location all we found was a bank). Therefore I really don't recommend relying on that particular feature of finding the ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I have a friend that loves this GPS. He will not go anywhere without it. He continues to try to get me to buy one and even said he would buy another just so I could have his. He is impressed with its ability to get you anywhere and he says that he has not had one problem with it. If you take a wrong turn due to your mistake then it will get you right back on track. I have seen this product mounted in his car and it is not too big or too small. You ... Read review
