Garmin nüvi 200 review
Review of Garmin nuvi 200 by
dannymill000
Advantages: Easy to use and extremely helpful
Disadvantages: Can take a few minutes to locate the satellite and start working
...since sliced bread. The Garmin nüvi 200 is a life saver. The preloaded maps make it as easy as turning it on and going. The touch screen makes things simple and there are many different features that make it easy to use. One feature that saves time is the "favorites" folder. On my garmin my home location is programmed in so whenever i need to get home, its just one or two clicks away. Also a "recently found" folder lets you see your last few destinations ... ...restaurants, stores, and other areas of interest. Going to garmin.com allows you to download games, maps, and different vehicle icons for your garmin (must go out and buy a chord for this... $15 at wal-mart). All in all this is a great product that won't break the bank. ...

Advantages: Good graphical quality etc
Disadvantages: no road names
After using this product for some time now I would like to write a review on it to warn potential buyers. This is similar to another review on this unit and he was very right in what he said. In general, this gadget is just not accurate enough.
When I am driving, it looks cool and high techy but thats pretty much the only completely positive aspect about it!
It is very difficult to follow at times because there arent road names just directions ...

GSx60 - handy companion
Review of Garmin GPSMAP 60 by
Example_superstar123
Advantages: size, userfriendly, all-purpose navigation
Disadvantages: pricing for device and maps, map-activation
The Garmin GPSMAP 60 CSx is the extended Version of the GPSMAP 60 Cx. While the case is same size and format, the CSx shows up with a barometric altimeter and an electronic compass. I use it for several purposes. Traveling statistics, autorouting, topo/directions and waypoint navigation are those functions I mainly use. The intuitive interface helps to use the software without having to read the manual.
A basemap is installed ex factory, with the ... ...on 'bad roads'). Unfortunately, Garmin doesn't offer a mounting for motocycles, so I had to get a 3rd party retainer from Europe (Touratech)
The CSx 60 runs with 2AA batteries. Using powercables (not delivered), the device is able to run with external powersources (carbatteries) and is also able to deal with AA-rechargable batteries (has to be activated if you want to use it). All in all, the CSx60 with the right maps and accessories is a great ...

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 ...
