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 ...

Cheapest way not to get lost.
Review of Garmin eTrex Legend by kaiser83

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

Navmans attempt at a user friendly sat nav
Review of Navman ICN 520 by StanRogo

Advantages: simple to use, touch screen and buttons
Disadvantages: terrible night mode, one route at a time

The navman ICN 520 sat nav is a basic sattelite navigation system(sat nav) that is for those who do not drive a lot and want a simple to use and basic sat nav. Its mainly operated via the buttons on the right hand side of the screen but tries to incorporate a touch screen. The good thing about this sat nav is that it is not just a touch screen so for those drivers who may not be used to a higher level of technology it is very easy to use. I first ...
...blind you but on this, Navman has not done a very good job. Overall this sat nav is very easy to use and is welcoming to users of all ages from the younger generation for which a touch screen has been incorporated, to those who are slightly older for which the buttons on the right hand side make navigation around the sat nav easy. ...

Tomtom 720 GPS
Review of TomTom GO 720 by Camila

Advantages: Quick routing, bright readable screen, customizable, good quality build
Disadvantages: Terrible Menu system, hard to change setting

I used 720 for over 6 months of daily usage this is what you need to know. The screen is bright and clear 4.3" LCD touch screen and very easy to read. The screen is customizable, you can download different map colors, customize the readout info, eta, arrival time, etc.. Routing is quick and generally accurate occasionally the routing will not be the optimum way to go , but the final destination is usually 95% accurate. Miss a turn and a new route ...
...software the 720 will update itself with the latest map corrections, a nice feature. Battery life is about 4 hours at 75% brightness setting. The 720 has a SiRFstarIII chipset which very fast acquiring signals. Rarely did I lose a signal. Now the bad part,the menu layout sucks finding the right menu to change a setting is NOT easy compared to garmin nuvi. Overall a very good unit ... Read review
