Garmin 1390T Great GPS! No complaints.

Just bought this GPS from Amazon and I’m having no problems with it at all. No sure why others have a problem with the speaker but it sounds fine to me. I bought this to replace my Nuvi 350 and it’s a major upgrade. The menus are much nicer and I like the Speed Limit [...]

Garmin 1490T Nice upgrade

Just some observations: Pros: – The display is 5 in diagonal, that may not seem much bigger than the 4.3 but it is. The resolution is the same as the 4.3 wide-screens units but the extra space is well worth it and noticeable! It also makes it easy to hit the right button on the [...]

TomTom XL 330S Good value, good operatio

Some good points: – the 4.3″ screen is nice, and I would recommend this screen size over the 3.5″ models. – the set-up is relatively easy (which was great since the instruction manual is a joke!). – TomTom has a pretty cool website (TomTom HOME) for you to use to get necessary updates your GPS, [...]

Garmin 1350 Mostly Impressive – But Some Quibbles

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Garmin nuvi 1350 but I do have a couple of minor complaints. First of all, I do recommend that owners/potential buyers visit the Garmin web site to read through all of the product information and to review the FAQs. Some folks have made an issue of Garmin not [...]

TomTom ONE 130 THIS TOM TOM IS NUMBER ONE!

This item does essentially all that a gps unit should. It has more than enough features to make it an excellent choice. I was able to update my refurbished unit to the latest maps through the downloaded software “tomtom home”. The map update was free, same as with the brand new units. You get one [...]

Garmin 780 Great Device and Easy to Use

The 780 acquired the necessary satellites in just a few minutes when first activated, and does so in less than a minute for subsequent activations. I found the screen brightness to be fine for both day and night. I’m using the 780 with the Garmin Portable Friction Mount. Smashing windows and stealing GPS devices is [...]

Magellan RoadMate 1475T better quality than Garmin

I have a GPS users in the last 4 years. Normally, I only buy, Garmin, and I recently purchased 755t. The first unit I had a lack of image, although letters and numbers from different parts of the screen, imagine opening the device and never able to pin in the correct band was ridiculously low, [...]

Magellan Maestro 4700 An Outstanding Navigational Tool

Have received my fair share of slow and inconsistent GPS Garmin, Magellan and TomTom same over the years, this model is maintained on my radar screen.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT ing of Wrist-Mounted Trainers

Garmin’s newest wrist-top fitness watch is a 50-megaton blast forward that combines the best of the company’s past two Forerunner models — the 305 and 405 — but easily laps both on almost all counts. Like its predecessors, the 310XT uses GPS to track your runs and rides, but it adds so much more to [...]
