Review of Garmin nüvi 660 - GPS receiver 660 GPS receiver by azai411

Advantages: touch-screen controls are intuitive,accurate
Disadvantages: none

A great product! The touch-screen controls are intuitive. The navigation instructions are accurate to within a few meters. It does very well in rural and urban areas and hasn't let me down yet. The mounting system has worked very well for me, with no problems. If you mount the unit close enough to your car's radio and keep it plugged in to your lighter socket via the power cord, the wireless FM transmitter provides clear sound for MP3s that you can ...

GSx60 - handy companion
Review of Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx - GPS receiver 60CSx 12 channel GPS receiver 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 ... Read review

Some flaws
Review of Garmin nüvi 760 - GPS receiver 760 GPS receiver by lindybrasher

Advantages: Small and worth the price
Disadvantages: Routes chosen

A friend of mine has this GPS system. He does like it and I find that it is actually pretty useful. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not take you on the same route back that you went in on. This confuses me and worries me that I am being taken in the wrong direction. It does try to take you on the shortest path but sometimes this is not the fastest path. It may take you through the center of town rather than down an interstate ... Read review

Love the Garmin
Review of Garmin nüvi 250W - GPS receiver 250W GPS receiver by brownplace

Advantages: to many to list
Disadvantages: doesnt say street names - but other versions do.

absolutely love it!!! It is so quick. We bought it to go to florida with and we NEVER got lost. It was quick with the recalculation when i missed my turn (my error). The size is perfect. The features are perfect. It will even find points of inteterest really fast. One of the best features is how it keeps track of your mileage for the trip. Plus you can see each turn by turn as you approach your next turn. You can use a 3d view and it helps you with ... Read review

Advantages: Great quality, clear screen, easy to use, all out exceptional
Disadvantages: NONE! :D

...want, I really love this Magellan Maestro 4200 GPS receiver. This has been one of my best purchases in the past year, the screen is nice and clear, the street names are always correct, it will redirect you if you happen to take the wrong turn some where. It also announces out loud where you should go, so you can safely drive with your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. The design in itself is even really nice, it's sleek and compact and ... Read review
