+316	GPS	POS	5	the wife want I to get it for she little sister who just get she license as a gift . it serve the purpose until she crash she car .
+220	GPS	NEG	1	the ad clearly say `` fit Nuvi 250 '' , which I have , but it do not fit my Garmin Nuvi 250 . it be not big enough . furthermore , I have email the seller , and he have give no reply after several day .
+848	GPS	NEG	1	I be very disappointed . I set it up and discover that it do not even have my own house address . I bring it with I to a trip to Florida and it do not even have my hotel address . the hotel have be there for year . I even update the device but still do not find the address . it also keep repeat itself , it say turn right several time even after turn right . I return after two week . I buy a Garmin .
+276	GPS	POS	4	the GPS be fine . it would have earn 5 star execept the device that be suppose to keep it on the windshield be junk . it keep fall off . we call Garmin and they send a replacement . it work for about a month and it too would not hold and fall off . after call again they acknowledge that other user have have the same problem . they be now send we a `` bean bag '' to sit on the dash . it be a shame that a low tech device be kill the overall performace of a otherwise great high tech item .
+776	GPS	POS	4	I just buy the watch and I love it . there be lot of good review here , but this external review be the most helpful to I . it be the gold standard . also , check out he review of the 405 for a point of comparison . -lrb- ... -rrb-
+202	GPS	POS	5	this be my second gp . my first be a Magellan also , which I be very happy with . now a couple of year later , I decide to upgrade to the larger screen as it be easier to see . upon read other review , I find it be recommend for large car , suv 's , and truck . I have a 1998 Toyota Camry , which have a small dashboard . I measure ahead of time to make sure it would fit . and it do , snuggly , but that be all that matter ! I also purchase the 3 side bean bag weight to set it on which do not add any bulk . right now it touch my windshield , but it be on the dashboard just far enough back to not fall off . I can not say enough about the size of the display ! yes , it be large , but hey , when you get to be a senior with trifocal , the larger the screen , the better ! and the display switch to night vision which light up in mostly black and white and be easy to read at night . I would highly recommend this gp to anyone consider purchase a larger screen . when I park my car , I just pick it up and set it on the floor so it do not attract attention . absolutely perfect for I !
+555	GPS	NEG	2	I be sure many have great review with this gp . however let I say that when it arrive , the first we notice that there be a scratch on the top of the GPS . open the box , we notice the bag be tear open , and then tape close . plus the one adapter be miss . plug it in and try it , there be no `` initial setup '' as the instruction state ! however the history and previous save location be all from a location in Southern California -lrb- I will not list the address of the residence , but it be on there -rrb- ! but the initial setup location be - set as HOME and be a address in southern California be on it -lrb- full address -rrb- !!! what I can positive say be that indoors it get full satellite signal ! and this be on the first floor of a two story house , not near a window but in the center of the room , or even lay on the bed -lrb- center of room far from a window and a full floor above plus attic -rrb- . one thing I do not care for be how the antenna must be open -lrb- flip up to get GPS signal -rrb- as it be just one more thing that can break off . and although there be a lot of pous -lrb- point of interest -rrb- -lrb- 6 million -rrb- keep in mind some of the hotel and such may be `` bottom line '' -lrb- that be one you would not want to take you children\/family to . one hotel that be in my town be `` bottom line '' -lrb- use for prostitution and druggie a lot and people arrest as read in the newspaper -rrb- and be list as a pous . also it list a homeless shelter as a `` hotel '' in the city ! so careful on those POI . 6 Million be a lot , but how good be the pous ? out of town people will not know local knowledge . so the AAA rate POI on Magellan be look better and better . the last thing I want after a long day trip be to settle down and have drunk howl through the hall all night long ! Amazon be very nice and will give a refund upon return ! we do a lot of business with amazon and we have never have something purchase as NEW , use like this . it make I think someone purchase it , use it for a trip and then send it back in for a refund ! look like one trip save be from CA to the midwest . I do not know if there be a reason why these Garmin 350 be so reduce -lrb- many be open or such -rrb- ? we be now go with the Magellan Maestro 3140 . and the unit be very small . it be good if you want to slip it into a pocket or such -lrb- and a small bag come with it to prevent scratch . but I can see it get lose easily if you put it in a large handbag . compare the side to two pack of baseball card . it do come with all the extra you would normally pay for . that be a home ac charger\/adapter , a dc car charger\/adapter -lrb- although the dc be now more standard with unit -rrb- , and a nice little bag to put it in and it slide in\/of the bag easily -lrb- not one of those bag that you push and pull stuff in and out of it , and the bag have a outside slot for something slim like a credit card or such . it be rate Number 2 in October 2007 `` Consumer Reports Magazine '' -lrb- or online you can read it at they site -rrb- for the best gp unit . Second only to the Garmin Nuvi 360 . if you be `` tech geek '' you 'll love the feature of touch the satellite bar in the upper LEFT corner and it 'll show you the satellite that be directly over you head , also where the current sun & moon -lrb- icon -rrb- be to you and they move east\/west -lrb- the sun\/moon -rrb- ! satellite be all number and it give you coordinate and how accurate you position be to the satellite ! say how strong each satellite signal be to you , and the elevation . this be all in the manual online in more detail . it may well indeed be that we get a bad -lrb- use -rrb- unit . but look at you hometown and you 'll see the good place and the `` seedy '' one , and understand the `` seedy '' one will be in the pous as well -lrb- make 6 million -rrb- . if you want that after a long day trip , then great , but I do not . I do want to give it a try -lrb- on battery as no cable be in the computer other than the usb ! so near we one bridge be close and you have to go around downtown to get around it all . no matter what I try , as in get a different route , detour , or even turn it on and off again it keep tell I to cross a bridge that be close work ! however we get the Magellan Maestro 3140 and hit Detour where we could not close and bang , it hit the right route in a matter of seconds . compare the Magellan Maestro 3140 and the Garmin Maestro 3140 : Garmin Nuvi 350 : - list church as pous - only fast and Closest Route Options . if a bridge\/tunnel , etc. be close , it will not give another route . Magellin Maestro 3140 : - Asks you for each route four different type -lrb- fastest , most use of highway , etc. -rrb- . and reroute fast ! - come on automatically each time you plug in the AC\/DC adapter . - Re-Routes much better and faster and allow you to reroute in advance -lrb- say you know a road be close up ahead -rrb- . my advice , make sure what you get be indeed new ! and watch the pous
+787	GPS	POS	4	personally , i like megellan product better , i currently own two of they ... but magellan gp do not have the pedestrian mode on any of they unit , garmin do ... so i buy this unit specifically for that purpose ... the pedestrian mode be great for when i be in a unfamiliar town ... i park the car ... punch in where be i , save to favorite ... and after hour of wander at which point i have no clue as to where i park ... this unit or pretty much all they unit have this function , will give you step by step direction back to you car ... how neat be that ...
+882	GPS	POS	4	I have use a mio c310x for awhile before my son take it from I to leave for college , so I experience use a GPS Nav enough to understand and appreciate all aspect of the review by ` the Shadows ' . it be a honest , expertise and comprehensive one . I be about to buy one , though I do not like the TomTom one not to have phone number of poi that the mio do abundantly . Victor .
+418	GPS	POS	5	I use this gp almost daily . I pickup and deliver car for a dealership both locally and out of state . it have work great for I everytime . anyone look for a gp this Garmin be a very good choice .
+830	GPS	POS	5	pro : this unit be awesome . it be literally a pc in you car . Radio , GPS , ipod\/iphone and bluetooth work well . can not beat the price compare to other in-dash gp . touch screen have a good sensitivity . con : I do have a problem with the microphone for the bluetooth . currently check with the seller if there be a setting for it to adjust the volume or if it could be bad . there be a lot of icon for program . I would prefer a simple menu option on the display for ease of use .
+204	GPS	NEG	1	I purchase this product because my original Garmin I purchase over 7 year ago , I be not able to download current map , for whatever reason . I travel a lot and be look forward to use this Garmin everywhere I travel . it have a very short battery time and I constantly have to re-charge it and it usually go dead when I need it the most . it shut off in the middle of give I direction and when I power it back on , the Garmin screen be display something totally irrelevant and start give I wrong direction . I regret purchase it !
+558	GPS	POS	4	we have like the 1350lmt . have the feature I want , but more importantly , I be able to find a Garmin product that do not force I to buy thing like Bluetooth , a feature I would never use . it be be a month , it be work well , as advertise . BTW , do not hesitate to return a unit that seem faulty -- Amazon make this return process painless ! I would buy this for a family member if they need a gp .
+69	GPS	NEG	2	I buy this to track my calorie burn while do workout video . it do not do that , even though it have a heartrate monitor . it use the speed you travel to indirectly calculate you calorie burn , so if you be work out it can not figure out you calorie ! I do not see this list anywhere prior to purchase and now I have a overpriced watch that do I no good .
+722	GPS	POS	5	this product do everything be be design to do . I put my garmin in it or i put my phone in it . con . . do fog up a bit -lrb- condensation inside in drissly or cold weather -rrb- . I will buy another for my wife 's motorcycle and will probabley buy two more for we bicycle !
+593	GPS	POS	5	so far so good ! ca not really comment on the lifespan or support since I have not have it very long or need any support . but it be great so far\/1
+813	GPS	POS	5	1 . after you set a address to go , it will suggest you a route . when you drive out of the route , it will recalculate a new route from you current place to the destination . 2 . after you set a address to go , it will suggest you a route . it might be far away . on the high way you do not need the GPS , so you can turn off the unit . when you be close to the destination you can turn the gp on and select view the map . it will continue the route . after 4 year , I be still use it . this be one more thing I like it . that make I trust Garmin .
+325	GPS	POS	4	I need to commute everyday through New York City and it be imperative to know the real-time traffic since traffic can be bad and unpredictable . this gp have work pretty well most of the time . I sometimes look at Google map for real-time traffic update and try to come up with my own route and it usually match the route calculate by gp . the only time that the gp do not work be when Google map show that the traffic have clear on Washington bridge and this gp still direct to avoid it . overall it be a good product to use for people who need to drive through unpredictable traffic but with alternative route . though I would say that combine google map and this gp would be even better .
+984	GPS	POS	5	I have have the product for a couple of month . this product be great and do everything advertise . all function appear to be quite accurate . yes it be not fashionable , but its a fair tradeoff for the map and compass function that come in really handy when hike . everything be very intuative . the only complaint I have about the product be the 1 + min startup time require to locate the GPS satellite .
+109	GPS	POS	5	yes it be big and ugly but it be comfortable , lightweight , and the large display make it easy to read . at a glance I have distance , timer , pace , and heart rate . the gp appear to be very accurate because I have compare it to other source and it be the same . I be not very tech savvy but find the control easy to use . the software that be include be easy to use too . you can download you information into a log and get a nice display and summary of all you information . for all that it be include the price be quite low and it be definitely make my run more enjoyable and informative . I highly recommend it .
+634	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this as a upgrade \/ replacement for a 5 year old Garmin 60c . my old 60c be a steadfast companion on myriad canoe camping trip and have help I out of dicey situation many time . this newer model be strikingly similar except for some small but significant change . ~ the receiver be far faster to lock onto sattelite and fix position ~ the receiver have much greater sensitivity - this one actually can lock on and follow I in my house ! ~ battery life be slightly improve ~ syncing to a pc seem easier and more solid at Amazon 's price I pay $ 110 - less than I do 5 year ago , and that be at a good discount .
+573	GPS	POS	5	great product . take you where you want to go . timely deliver . well package . no negative at all .
+183	GPS	NEU	3	if you use a 64 bit OS you will not be able to download map to unit until Garmin provide driver support . other then this it be a great product !
+552	GPS	POS	4	I use this 4.3 '' version in my car ; the 5 '' version would be just a bit too large . pro : \* the gp be easy and logical to input address into . it also quickly find every address I have put in so far and the give route be very reasonable to I , give my knowledge of the area and road . \* the touch screen be very responsive . \* the suction cup and mount bracket work very well . no adhesive need on two different car . \* both the mount bracket and the power connection be magnetic and work better than I anticipate . fast and trouble-free connect and disconnect . \* the screen seem fine and normally responsive in cold weather -lrb- -10 f -rrb- . \* you can connect the gp to you pc and the internet to get free lifetime map update . First you Download and install the `` mytomtom support application '' . then you connect you gp unit to you pc and turn on the GPS . then the TomTom software open you default browser automatically and load you TomTom account page -lrb- once you have a account -rrb- and give you a status . this be also dependent on if you have you browser cookie save for TomTom -lrb- you can use a white list if you regularly discard cookie -rrb- . when connect and update map , you browser window say `` TomTom GO -lrb- model number -rrb- '' , then `` install ... '' . quite logical and easy to use . \* on certain screen you can control map with finger swipe and 2-finger zoom -lrb- similar to a iPhone -rrb- . \* the screen be very bright and can easily be see in intense daylight . there be a night mode -lrb- that it can switch to automatically -rrb- and the screen 's brightness be adjustable . \* it display the speed limit on that section of the road . it be very accurate on both where the speed limit change and what it be . this help I with the age old question : `` what be the speed limit here again ? '' \* Traffic Information feature : this can recalculate you trip time , and suggest alternate route , depend on traffic . this feature could be great , but it appear to not be available in my city . on the TomTom website you can get a list of city available . my city be not list . the car power cord have a traffic receiver build into it -lrb- when you connect the car cord it say `` rds-tmc receiver connect '' -rrb- . while I be not really sure how this feature work technically , the manual say that the gp display traffic datum with red indicate congestion and green show no problem . pro with limitation : \* the manual be extremely easy to read and get you start fast . it explain the GPS graphic well . most of the GPS menu be intuitive and with a bit of work you be good to go . however , the manual do not go into great detail of all the option and setting . for basic task this be not a big deal as they be fairly obvious . however , there be a few option that take I forever to find -lrb- see below -rrb- . \* the unit have the ability to use command speak by you . for example , `` calculate a alternative route . '' when work , it be great , but it have a few major stumbling block . first , it take I forever to figure out how to turn on the speak command option . it turn out it be bury under the `` make you own menu '' option and a check box of `` voice command and control . '' it be nowhere else . not obvious ! next , the unit do not give on-screen prompt for what command work , so you have to know this . to view a list of voice command , you go under `` help '' in the Main menu , then `` Product manual '' and then `` what can I say ? '' again , not obvious . \* this unit have Bluetooth -lrb- BT -rrb- for link a phone and use hand free . the speaker quality and dial portion work well . but this BT feature have its problem . when the GPS be turn on , it find the paired phone . it then automatically retrieve the phone 's current contact . so far so good . however , when you display the contact , the phone number be okay , but it list all the name as a bunch of number -lrb- a software bug no doubt -rrb- . where 's Joe ? or Betty ? very aggravate . you can only find they by they phone number . so the import phone book be pretty worthless because of this . some quick web search seem to indicate this be a common problem . further search have not come up with a solution for my gp model at this time . con : \* power up and down . some car have power a -rrb- go to they cigarette lighter -lrb- cl -rrb- adapter only when the key be turn on , b -rrb- other car power the cl all the time , regardless of the key position . it would be nice if this unit adapt to both kind of car . for example , for key car the unit do not power up when power be apply via the car 's cl adapter . this feature would be handy so when you start you car , the gp start . it have shut down cover though , as it have a option for the GPS power after 10 seconds if no power be come from the cl . for constant power car , it would be nice to have a option to have the gp turn off when you car have not move in 10-20 minute . that way the GPS would turn off when you park and leave . while you should probably un-mount the gp while parking on the street for theft reason , this would take care of you garage parking , etc. . of course power on will not be cover , but you can always hit the power switch . \* it do not have any sd or microsd card slot . some people might find this a limitation as other unit have it for audio file , etc. . minor con : \* when connect to a pc , it start off flaky ; sometimes work , sometimes not . the problem seem to be a software driver issue -lrb- I have Vista -rrb- that finally fix itself after I let Windows find a driver on its own . it take several try . \* the unit use a proprietary connector on the supply cable . it be not a Mini-USB . this might be problem only if you lose you cable . \* polarize sunglass can impede you view of the GPS screen . however , this be fairly normal with electronic screen , so not particular to the TomTom brand itself . helpful hint : \* the unit can occasionally have a software hang-up -lrb- as do most brand , so this be not unique to TomTom -rrb- . to reset , press and hold the power button for 15 seconds until a quick drumbeat sound . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 2 update , August 2011 : Battery die July 2010 : my unit 's internal battery go belly up . I get this unit in November 2010 . after email TomTom they instruct I to return it to they at my cost . they then send I a new unit . deal with customer service be acceptable . not stellar , but not bad . however , find how to file a email claim be challenge on they web site . they want you to try all the faq helpful hint first . while this be understandable , I would prefer the link to customer service be more intuitive . good news ! the `` legal notice '' screen '' have disappear : when I recently connect my unit to get update , I notice the startup screen warn about liability and etc. be finally go . I find the startup `` lawyer screen '' , irritating . yes , I realize I still have to pay attention to the road ; I do not need a screen to remind I about the hazard of distract driving .
+716	GPS	POS	5	this unit be awesome . Easy to use and better than anything else out there . if you need to buy a GPS unit , get this one .
+557	GPS	POS	4	this product be very useful , except the sound be a little bit loud and it can not stay on the base and be easy to fall down .
+385	GPS	POS	5	my aim be to get a gp with no map capability in order to maintain good habit when navigate with visual checkpoint . the low battery consumption be also a important matter . the Brunton unit I get from Finalcall fulfil all my expectation . the very large screen , additional feature such as the compass , the altimeter or the barometer in addition to a full GPS unit be perfect . I will use it mainly when make cross-country travel in a Cessna 172 as a complementary tool to classical navigation instrument . the service give by Finalcall have be perfect .
+19	GPS	POS	5	the nuvi350 be very impressive . I find it easy to use . come very handy . have great feature . the only concern be that it take up to 2-4 minute -lrb- at time -rrb- to acquire satellite signal upon startup .
+887	GPS	POS	5	you have probably read how the guidance be not perfect and I be not go to tell you otherwise . but any time I have find myself get mislead I just use the map and regular map reading skill to start move in the right direction . the device will recalculate and you be on you way . with the clear , concise voice direction you can still concentrate on avoid other car . so what if I miss a junction\/turning - I just keep follow the purple line ! and yes - when you take it on the plane it can be a little slow to get it be bearing . but the 15 minute ride in the rental car shuttle be usually enough for it to figure out where it be . slap it on the windshield and you be ready to go when the barrier go up . finally , the interface be just how it should be - the button logic be clear and operation be exactly as you would expect . no complaint apart from the occasional minor route error . when I use map print out there be many more error and a lot more stress ...
+694	GPS	POS	5	if you be interested in the GPS aspect of the device , you can read the other review -- like they nearly all say , the 205 and 305 be excellent . I want to specifically point out how much improve and how accurate the heart rate monitor and strap be over the previous version -lrb- forerunner 301 -rrb- , as well as how favorably the 305 hrm function in comparison to the benchmark Polar monitor . the 305 have not drop my heart rate once in nearly three week of daily workout range from one to two hour . I have and have use the 301 for the better part of a year , and continually have problem with interference , which cause extend datum dropout and extremely high , inaccurate reading . the 305 be nothing like the old 301 , which be reason enough to purchase if you require a solid hrm with you gp datum . a side benefit -- it be accurate ! I have compare it with my Polar Accurex monitor , and it be dead on . if anything , the Polar update a bit slower than the Garmin . all in all , a huge improvement , and a great product . highly recommend . also , as a number of other reviewer have say , get the SportTracks software . it be free and it will greatly enhance the viewing of the datum from you new ForeRunner 305 .
+958	GPS	POS	5	this gp be simply fantastic !!! a employee at a car rental place talk I into try it out during a business trip to Atlanta last year . I be very hesitant to try it . however , I instantly see the light once I start use it . I have not travel without it since . I use to be a die hard map quester for all of my direction , but now all I need be my Garmin StreetPilot c330 . this gp make travel so much more care free , easy , and of all thing spontaneous ... just like travel should be . the interface be easy to use , and it be very helpful to have all of the map already load onto the GPS . it also come with a cigarette lighter adapter for you car and a usb cable to connect to you computer . its a bit spendy , but well worth the investment .
+458	GPS	NEU	3	buy it new for 300 on ebay , it do work well when it work but unfortunatly , it do not always work . there would be time when it just would not turn on . never have any problem with get support from Magellan , but they do not know what to do either . slow to find signal but good in hold it and recalculate when miss exit . again , you get what you pay for and this unit be certaily not woth more then $ 300 .
+698	GPS	POS	4	the price be reasonable and there be very good point to this gp . great display , excellent info ' , lifetime map update , etc. . but my main reason for change from a Garmin GPS i have have for several year be for the bluetooth capability which suck . the volume be like all the other but hard to find a happy medium ... I have a hard time hear the caller on the other end , and they have a hard time hear I . very disappoint for what I be look for ... gp function great ... bluetooth poor .
+142	GPS	POS	5	this product be amazing ! it be so easy to use and so useful especially when run long distance and you do not know how far you have be . I would recommend this product to anyone !
+994	GPS	POS	5	purchase this Garmin for Christmas . love the large screen and the lane assist be wonderful . have never use a bluetooth device , and now be hooked . surprisingly clear and crisp sound . would surely recommend .
+847	GPS	NEG	1	we buy this for we seven year old granddaughter and try it out before give it to she . glad we do as we do not find it particularly good and end up return it . we compare the cache with geocaching.com near we home . some be list , some be miss . basically you follow the arrow and supposedly find the cache - we do not . also the arrow keep spin so that in the end we do not know which direction to go . I would rather have the clue that geocaching.com provide , know if in fact there be thing to exchange and so on .
+57	GPS	POS	5	I replace a Magellan map 330 gp with this Garmin unit - what a difference . I look at the Magellan color gp and choose the Garmin because of the better display and the wealth of feature . even though I be familiar with the Magellan interface , the Garmin be a snap to get use to . the navigation feature be awesome and the configurability - to make it work the way you want it to - be amazingly flexible . the display be great at night and also very readable in vary light during the day as well . the automatic switching between a daytime style and nighttime style be very cool . pro : very colorful , brightly reflective and backlit display . the navigation feature set be great , I do not expect such feature in something less than the automotive navigation gp unit . have a external antenna connector greatly improve you mount option in a vehicle -lrb- and one person even mount a antenna inside a hat , so he can track well even while the GPS be on he belt ! -rrb- the rest of the pro be too numerous to list , check out the detail at Garmin 's web site . con : somewhat expensive and proprietary mapping software . the waypoint manager software and the topo package be in dire need of update . a 5-year old California freeway be not present - bad ! I do not have the street software yet , so I can not speak to its accuracy . put the unit in and out of a mount cradle with the power plug be problematic . my old Magellan just pop in and make contact in the cradle . the Garmin method have a plug that need to be deal with each time you take it out or put it in . it be a tight fit if you have to plug in the power first and then fit it to the mount . have say all that , though , the Garmin 60c be everything that be need for my upgrade from a monochrome display gp . if you need more mapping load -lrb- i.e. ; more memory -rrb- , you 'll need to go to the 76 family , but the cost be significantly more . I rarely change map , so I find the 56mb in the 60c to be just fine . so , sorry about that , Magellan . the Garmin be a better step up . Update : I have have a chance to use the compass where I need direction when stationary and it be another excellent use for this Garmin model . I be not sure whether I should get the CS model with the compass and barometer - and I be very glad I go for it . if you do have the need for the compass , it be worth the extra buck .
+403	GPS	POS	4	I really like the city select and nroute . how it help a traveler who do not know where he be go in a stange place . I take it to lax and tour LA with no trouble at all and I have never be to that city before . I do think it need work in out lie area . my son live at the Edwards AFB and the program have trouble find the shortest and fastest route . I think because it always try to get you to a major high no matter how far out of the way it take you . I realize the program writer do not always know how the secondary road be go to be . take that into account , my glad I have it and will use it often .
+782	GPS	POS	4	the product be quite adequate and function well . do not believe they suggestion to buy a 256mb sd card however , unless you be satisfy with 2 or 3 state coverage . I get the 1.0 gb sd card and it give I detail access to over 2\/3 of the lower 48 state . I find a quirk while be instruct to enter a south bind highway from the east . it instruct I to go over the highway and make a `` hard leave '' -lrb- a illegal turn -rrb- , rather than make the right onto the cloverleaf entrance . be careful . -- the internal antenna work quite well but the placement , in my vehicle , require the use of a external antenna . DO NOT buy the Magellan External Antenna . when the weather get even slightly warm , the antenna set off a continue false alarm on my Cobra Radar Detector . Technical support have be absolutely useless . after 6 try , I have give up and buy a gilsson antenna that work much better , have no problem and cost less . Magellan -lrb- Thales Navigation -rrb- either do not understand english or choose to deliberately misunderstand the problem . they will also not offer any refund on they antenna with the design problem . -- in general , I be quite satisfied with the RoadMate 300 , but do not expect any intelligent Technical support .
+298	GPS	POS	5	OUTSTANDING !!!! with the 28db gain on the antenna -lrb- 3db = double the signal -rrb- ; I be travel on the interstate @ the lowest part of a tunnel -lrb- where I usually lose the gp signal -rrb- , with this antenna ... still strong signal , pick up both side of the tunnel which be separate by thick cement wall , the water & surrounding land mass . however ... the description do NOT tell you that the cable be only 9 ' long . order the extension cable ; NOT COMPATIBLE . have to call Gilsson directly to order the same radome -lrb- antenna -rrb- with a 25 ' cable on it . $ 39.95 + S&H; , go with the windshield mount $ 4.95 -lrb- with suction cup -rrb- , level it & work great . in the ramparage -lrb- usually lose signal 5 ' into it ... be able to track myself even @ the innermost part of the structure . just do a little more research before you buy .
+187	GPS	NEG	1	buy this for my wife for Christmas ... stop work after about 3 trip ... retailer say over thirty day so will not let I return it to they ... motorolum say they do not make gp anymore . . might get a credit for anohter product I do not need ... all in all this transaction a bust
+111	GPS	NEG	1	I have this xxl 540 tm and it work for a total of 10 minute when I actually use it in my truck . I call customer service and the assistant ask I if the unit be charge ?? I explain it be plugged-in for almost 8 hour before I actually use it for a road trip . the green power light on the bottom of the unit be on , but the unit will not power on . customer Service tell I to hold the power button for 1-2 minute for a ` soft-reset ' ... we be now at 12 hour plug directly to my cpu , and still nothing . so much for TomTom ...
+687	GPS	NEG	1	we try to install this print server use two different printer on two different network . the installation CD seem to install on both system , but we be never able to print to the attach printer . the box claim that this product will `` easily connect you printer to a network . '' well , it be easy to connect the cable , but that be as far as we get .
+103	GPS	NEG	1	I buy a garmin gp 60csx for several hundred dollar for use in all situation , trail , water , road , and pay $ 100 in US road map softward so I could also use it in my car to find address . the software be very user-unfriendly . I do a search for a address in Florida and it can not find a street that be be there for 30 year . it do not even have Miami on its list of city . I be sure there be a way to figure it all out if I spend hour study it , but its Garmins non-user friendly system and you should not have to do that . it be crap . you would be better off buy cheap $ 100 car gp with free road map . but do not buy Garmin , they do not know what user friendly be . and get hold of tech support to help . you can , but the wait will be long , if not impossible
+737	GPS	POS	5	I have have my forerunner 305 for over a year and it be my favorite piece of run equipment . I stay on track with it and I use sporttrack and sync my workout to facebook which make I more accountable . if you be think about get one I would highly recommend it . I have hear some negative thing about other model but mine be still go strong after hundred of workout . it hold up well in the rain and the heart rate strap have last 10x as long as the reebok monitor I have before .
+501	GPS	POS	4	I order this case for my 1450lmt . this case fit my Garmin Nuvi 1450 5 '' touch screen gp perfectly . but the side pocket be redundant - even usb cable can not be squeeze in . I be disappointed about this part .
+188	GPS	POS	4	I have purchase many of these gp unit . they be excellent unit for navigation to waypoint in rough condition . I beat up my unit and they take it . a previous unit have a defective power button . I fix this by cut the seal and poke the on switch with a stylus . now this unit be not usable in the rain , but be otherwise work fine . on the specific unit I purchase from this vendor : this unit work fine , but have to major defect : 1 . the sd card be defective . it will hold some map , but randomly leave out many map , render it almost useless . I replace the sd card with one from another unit , and it work fine . 2 . the ability to find interstand exit be miss from this unit . as I have say , I own several of these unit , this be the only one with this feature miss .
+261	GPS	NEU	3	unfortunately , I live in the stick and have no close access to play with any gp unit before I purchase one ... so I have to rely on mail order . thank goodness for Amazon . like : - Quick Satellite retrieval - show lat , Long , and altitude -lrb- you have to find this menu -rrb- - many point of interest available - small and easy to carry around , but big enough to see while drive . - Easy to navigate the menu system - decent battery life - it have be report that topographic map can be upload to this machine use the expertgp software by a third party company . I have not try this yet , but I like the idea as I hike a lot . dislike : - Garmin be a nickel and dime you to death company . I understand have to make a profit , but older unit come with pc software this unit do not ... ... no Software for pc include to plot trip and later upload to the unit . for $ 100 more you can buy this software . - you can only save one route at a time . you can save up to 500 waypoint , but only one route . - you have to pop the antenna up in order for it to acquire satellite . so it do not fit nicely in you hand if you decide to use it hiking . -lrb- yes - I know that it be make for automotive usage , but it can be convert easily as a hand hold unit with of course purchasing software for it -rrb- . - no easy battery change out without break into the unit . these modify cell phone lithium type battery typically last a year and I `` m sure Garmin have make the battery proprietary and it will cost the price of a new unit to change out . only conjecture here -lrb- when that time come I 'll hack into it as it will be out of warranty - I be a do it yourself kind of guy -rrb- - m Vista file transfer be painfully slow act like a usb 1.1 compliant unit . I back up the file from my Nuvi to Vista . 1.36 gb take 1 hour and after it time out a couple of time . on the other hand Ubuntu Linux transfer be extremely quick - 1.36 gb take 5 minute . I be not sure if this be a Garmin issue or a Windows vista issue since it be snappy on my Ubuntu machine . most likley vista driver issue . - map be outdate . I work in my county court house which be 8 year old and it be not on the map . the road to my house be 8 year old and it be not on the map . so I will have to update the map software ad cross my finger that I can locate myself : -rrb- I be sure this will cost money for a update ? the interesting thing be that business appear update . hmm ... county municipality be not show , but a business that be 1-2 year old be . I wonder if Garmin make money from put private business on they map first and road come secondary ? I call Garmin to see if the unit be suppose to come with the pc software . they state that the unit contain internal software and I can program it by use the unit . I jokingly state do you know how long it will take my fat finger to program this small unit ? I be then tell I could purchase the software for my pc . I say for the price of the unit I just assume it come with software . again I be tell that it be build in , but I can purchase the same software for $ 100 to run on my pc . Garmin have not fully win I over unless I can find some nice cheap shareware\/freeware to hack into this unit and make it functional to link up to my pc for map sequence . I 'll play with this unit a few day and see if it grow on I if not it go back and I will buy something cheaper that will do the same thing . do not get I wrong ... I like the unit and it be sturdy , its just lack update map and no pc software to plot you course to upload to the unit which I believe a unit this expensive should have .
+611	GPS	NEG	2	I have own this for a few month . the first few time it work fine , good capture etc. . then after a few week , the on\/off system fail like many other reviewer have state . I like the compact size , however the build quality be a little weak for constant outdoor use . the main problem be the on\/off switch , it simply be not dependable . also do anyone know be I can download the firmware ? any hint on the reset switch ? it also do not seem to work well .
+82	GPS	POS	5	I be a person that will research online and at the store and this be the best gp I have see . I be about to order the Garmin c330 until I check it out at a local electronics store . the salesperson show I how simple it be to use and I pick it up quickly . when I tell he how cool this thing be and that my mind be make up on the c330 , he say `` wait , check this out '' and show I the c340 . this one actually speak the name of the street instead of left or right at the next corner . it may not seem like much , but the whole reason for buy a gp be to have you hand hold as you drive . since I do not intend to buy another , I spring for the extra $ 70 buck . this puppy be a pleasure to use . I be a field technician so this save I time and fuel when go from one place to another . its especially helpful when I be call to go someplace I have never be before and I do not need to ask direction or refer to Mapquest . I simply pull over from where ever I be , key in the address and I be off . once its save , I can always return to it . my wife have always tell I I get lose after pull out of we driveway , but never again . its size also make it convenient for when I be fly out of state and have to rent a car . you will not be disappoint .
+184	GPS	POS	5	this be a great gp . when place a cache , the average capability be astounding . Have have many comment on how accurate my co-ord be . Works much better than my Megellan .
+48	GPS	POS	5	great product , largest screen size for this type of navigation .
+583	GPS	POS	4	just come back from a trip to CA , and it find everything almost as well as the local . when there be a accident , I get off the road and it find a alternate route . the built-in memory be enough for CA , NYC area , and New England . all I really need . Quibbles : map be tough to read , take a while to lock onto satellite .
+104	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this unit a few day ago and so far I be really impressed with it . it do everything that it say it would do and do it in a way that a non-tech person like I can understand . I do some test run and I do not get a wrong turn once . even when I deliberately go off course it redirect I within a second or two to get I back on track . it truly be a plug and use item with very little setup or reading of instruction to do .
+909	GPS	POS	4	I just receive this unit today about 3 hour ago . after play around with it and take it out for a short 20 minute drive , I think I get my money 's worth . install map to this unit take almost a hour . 1 . dvd setup copy everything to you computer . 25min 2 . Select state and it zip it or something . 15min 3 . copy map to i3 unit . -lrb- -lrb- 5min -rrb- 4 . acquire satelite . -lrb- ~ 5min -rrb- I be able to add . VA , MD , NJ , NY , de , pa , wv . I might have add couple more but I be not sure . I also add couple customer pous that I download from some site . screen size . I be afraid it might be too small , but actually it be not that bad . plus with voice prompt , all I have to do be glance at it from time to time to see if I be on the right track . Navigation . it might be the map , but sometimes when I pass a intersection , I do not see anything on my i3 unit . or the name be different . I be navigate to my office right across the street , but i3 tell I to make left turn and go around instead of just head straight . I have 2005 Civic and mount be kinda tricky . first , I place it lower middle of the windshield , but it be hard to reach . so I place it right on the center , it be easy to reach , but the cable bother I . I need to find the perfect spot to place this , or get battery . be a first time GPS user , I be not 100 % satisfied . may be I be expect too much for this price , but I think the whole calculating\/locating\/navigating \/ get from satelite could be little faster . but I be very satisfied for this price . I be go on a trip to NY tonight and we 'll see if it be really worth $ 300 or I should have pay couple extra for a better unit . -- Edited Nov 29 , 2005 . I come back from my trip to NY from DC . it be great . I lose signal in tunnel and in the middle of NY city , skyscraper , but it come back alive pretty quickly . I leave the unit zoom in , and it zoom out automatically when I be on highway go over 60mph . it zoom back in when I get off highway . Pretty neat . it also zoom in when I need to make turn or exit . the only issue i have be the map . it would be nice to be able to setup the map to show gasstation , restaurant , restarea , etc. . if I be look for mcdonald , I have to search and see map on every single mcdonald from the pous to see which one be on my way and not far from my route . another neat thing with pous be that they also provide phone number with address . no more 411 necessary . it be small enough to fit in my civic glovebox with the car adapter . I love it .
+376	GPS	NEG	1	the interface be difficult and not very intuitive to use . why SONY make thing so complicated be unknown to I . I be take it back to Radio Shack and exchange for a Garmin , I will gladly pay the difference and refurbish charge .
+162	GPS	NEG	1	con : slow to connect to satellite , poorly choose Recommended Routes , no easy way to browse map - surround area of direction . lifetime map do not work and online support be terrible at help - still not fix see the turn-by-turn list be several touch away . difficult and clumsy layout pro : Works .
+824	GPS	POS	4	Works great right out of the box without have to subscribe or download course information . I have use it in Northern California and Las Vegas and it be very accurate . the device really come in handy if you ever find yourself in another fairway and need a distance estimate .
+809	GPS	POS	5	well , not really pie but satelite gp . the Nuvi be easy to set-up and be up and run in a matter of minute . this be my first system so I have nothing to compare against . but we be totally happy with the purchase . it do what we expect . it could be a lousy marriage but we be happy .
+133	GPS	POS	5	bought year ago and until recently steal , have no problem whatsoever . a little slow on the start up , but no problem find address and reroute be fast
+618	GPS	NEG	1	this be junk , just like every piece of technology . the map do not update and it can not locate major city or street . use a compass and map , the never fail system .
+912	GPS	POS	5	I absolutely love this watch . I be a little nervous about buy it after read some bad review but I be soooo glad I buy it . it be true , it take some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experience a drop in the signal . the GPS be very accurate . I map my route before run and when the watch say I be do ... I be do ! you can set it to let you know when you reach certain distance . I have mine beep every mile and it help my run along . also , I love breakdown it do , on the computer and the actual watch . base on you setting it let 's you know what you pace be for each interval , you average heart rate , and you max heart rate . another plus be that it be very easy to load my run from my forerunner 305 to my -lrb- ... -rrb- profile . and base on the information you can plot different part of you run against each other . I must say I just love this watch and you should definitely get one !!!
+923	GPS	NEG	1	about a week after I purchase my Handspring Visor I buy the Magellan GPS . my first reaction be `` the instruction for the battery be wrong ? '' as you know , in most aa battery device , there be a spring on one side and a piece of metal on the other . generally you put the flat \/ negative -lrb- - -rrb- end of the battery against the spring and the small knobbed end of the battery against the battery . and in most of these case the battery will be in opposite direction to each other . this be where the GPS be unusual . although the battery do face in different direction , on one the batter negative\/flat side be against the spring , and on the other the spring be against the knobbed -lrb- + -rrb- end . not only be this counter-intuitive , it just look wrong . ok , so even though it be against my better judgment , I put the battery in as direct and it work . however , within one day -lrb- less than 2 hour use -rrb- it freeze my Visor whenever I connect it . I replace the battery and the same thing keep happen . I call tech support and they essentially tell I that `` there be something wrong with the GPS , it act like that when the battery be low '' but I try 3 set of new battery and get the same problem . they say I could return it for a refund and I send it back , only to get a e-mail that be a duplicate of the original shipping order . I think they have receive it and where ship it back to I ? so I call they again and they say that they have a problem with they refund confirmation , but that they do receive my return and I would be credit . another problem - the startup instruction state that the cd-rom include have a online manual - but that be only readable by pc - not for mac . I call tech support and they mail I a print version of the manual . I could not believe that they could not be bother to make a pdf version of the file that could be read by any computer use a free Adobe Acrobat reader . the file be easy enough to identify and load into my pda but I do not find it easy to use -lrb- this be before the manual arrive -rrb- . it be not intuitive and definitely more difficult to use than a map . individually any one of my above-mentioned complaint could have be tolerate -lrb- even send it back for repair\/refund -rrb- but all together I think if I be have these many problem so soon after buy it , how will it be after any length of time ? I have never purchase any other electronic device that have more problem within the first day of purchase . DO NOT BUY - wait until it there be a improve version that store the battery properly -lrb- I suspect that be where the power connection fail -rrb- and that have a better , easier to read -lrb- and universally readable by any machine -rrb- manual .
+67	GPS	POS	4	after acquire the Garmin Nuvi 360 lmt ; I have a chance to put it to the test immediately . I travel to Florida , Massachussets , Rhode Island , Pennsylvania and Maryland . so i put it to the test . the accuracy seem to be pretty good , I be please with it , only two time in the extensive use do it dissapoint and it be just a little bit . on one occassion in Rhode Island , try to locate my hotel , it tell I to make a right turn away from the hotel , and I need to make a right on the street to drive towards the hotel . although since I be amongst building the accuracy could have fail some in position . once I turn around , it do guide I closer , although it could never point to the hotel . the second time it fail be in Pennsylvania , I be locate a business address , and the road split in a y , the GPS tell I the address be on the right split to the right , instead of the left split to the left . the other time it be very accurate , specifically tell I if the address would be to the right or left of the direction I be head , and it be spot on every time . set-up be easy , not very difficult with Garmin product , although it do take a little bit to find some of the feature that be not as obvious . but since it be touch navigation , be fairly easy to explore . it be easy to recall past history of loaction previously find , and it have a traffic avoidance feature that I have not test yet . the size of the screen be good , and the graphic be sharp . it be easy to see when mount on the windshield , and the voice instruction be helpful . it do not come with a wall charger out of the box , which be a bit dissapointing . it only have a car charger , and a usb charger , that do not have a wall piece like the i-phone do . overall be a excellent product that do what it say , it will get you to where you want to go , accurately and fast .
+860	GPS	POS	5	the Nuvi 1490LMT be the perfect answer to the frustration of today 's driving . after 3 trip in the last week it have do exactly as advertise ... get I to my destination without hassle . I actually find the `` arrival time '' a great stress reliver for attend meeting on time . if it can get I around New York -lrb- in area totally foreign to I -rrb- without hassle ... it cetainly must be do it be job . big screen ... big find ! recommend highly !
+219	GPS	POS	4	I be un able to load my phone book to it . it be there by itself once but leave ?? feature come and go by themself ??? instruction booklet be lack . other than the bluetooth issues-i love it . I get it to take the place of my Navigation system in my 2009 Honda Accord that be NOTY user friendly . Dan
+257	GPS	POS	4	very easy to use distance watch for tech challenge runner like I . I want a watch that be comfortable on the wrist , easy to see and even easier to calibrate . the 110 fit my need very well . have not use the heart rate monitor yet but that be just a ` nice ' to have , not ` need ' to have . I run along the beachfront and just want a gp product that give I basically time and distance . period . about the only I do not care for be the extra step and button I have to manipulate just to turn it off when the run be do . but if that be the extent of my discontent , then I be a happy camper . would recommend this particular gps-enabled watch in a heartbeat .
+885	GPS	POS	4	there be two type of trip on which a gp be useful . one be find a address you do not know in you own city : be this case it be best for the last mile , deliver you right to the address you need . the chance be that around you own home or office you 'll have a favorite route which be different to what the Garmin choose , so you just have to ignore it and let it recalculate , which it happily do . the second type of trip be a drive vacation . here this machine be at its best and worst . what be good : it will take you from wherever you be to you destination address in the next town or city on you itinerary , however many mile away . it will do so with speak word , include the name of street you be about to turn into . it will also take you to major attraction without you necessarily know they address . en route , you have a choice of view . I find that in town , where there be lot of turn , you want the classic 3d view , where the car -lrb- or arrow , you can change the symbol -rrb- be in the foreground and the street come towards you . cleverly , if you be sit on a wide view , the machine will cut to a close-up view automatically as a turn approach . on the open road , however , the 3d view be pretty meaningless and you want to switch to the North up view and touch the minus -lrb- - -rrb- sign a few time . with the North up view it be like look at a traditional map : if you be drive south-east , for example , the arrow or car symbol will be point to the bottom right . by zoom out , you give yourself perspective : you can see town and attraction situate a few mile in any direction . what be bad : it take a endless amount of touch to change the view from 3d to North up and back : definitely not safe unless you stop the car . also , and this be serious , for smaller town , either they do not bother gather local information about one-way street and other restriction , or the information they have be out of date . case in point , Natchez , Mississippi , a town where all major street be one way , alternately go in one direction or the other . the Garmin try , try and try again to send we down one way street in the wrong direction . when we -lrb- fortunately -rrb- notice and ignore it , it then recalculate to take we round the block and back on to the same one way street in the wrong direction . eventually we give up on it and find we own way out of town , thus negate the whole point of have a gp . there be other , less serious niggle : for example , if you just want to visit the downtown of a city , there seem no way to tell it that other than make up a fictional address : we find that most town have a 100 Jefferson St or Washington St. anyway , once you get use to it , the device be fun and most of the time useful . it be very small size mean you can not only easily travel with it , you can also remove it and take it in you pocket when you park you car . if you hate trail wire , the Garmin have several hour of battery life and can be recharge with any mini-usb charger , probably the same as you cellphone use . all in all I be glad to have it on vacation , but they really need to sort out the local information problem and build in the ability to create shortcut to favorite view .
+87	GPS	POS	4	I have use my TomTom a few time since purchase it , so not a lot of experience . it be most helpful on the road , but do have some street name and address that be in error . I have issue try to get the lifetime map code to activate - it take several try with error message to get it to take . the download of the new map be very slow , until I move to a faster wifi spot , and then when it do download and install it would not work - problem at TomTom 's end . I be wait for a good 1\/2 hour on the phone for support before be help . I have find that use online support be a much better way to get tech support and question answer . the reply I receive , and step that be detail in the email , be most helpful . for the price pay , I really like the unit ... especially the idea of Lifetime Maps . hopefully the unit will lead a long life , to take advantage of those update : -rrb-
+916	GPS	NEG	1	it stop work 2 day after the Amazon return window close . I also do not like the way you have to plug you cable in `` upside down '' .
+888	GPS	NEU	3	we be use this gp unit to measure we horse ride . the display be a bit difficult to read while ride . the documentation clarify very little and be not in depth at all . scroll through the various mode can be tedious . it do keep track of avg speed and max speed . we have yet to figure out how to easily start a new lap . they could do a lot more to make the interface and documentation more user friendly .
+622	GPS	NEG	1	do not receive sat better than my internal Ipad gp switch on alone in a pocket almost impossible to swith off , the touch switch off system do not work properly
+944	GPS	NEU	3	the Garmin Deluxe carry case for Street pilot be well make , but be too small to accomodate much other than the basic Street pilot . if you want a bag large enough to hold the Street pilot 2720 plus accessory such as dash board pad , 12-volt adapter , and A\/C adapter , you may want another bag .
+956	GPS	NEU	3	this be my third TomTom . they have all be pretty good . this latest one have a great screen . the magnetic mount be a little hard to get use to , I be not completely there yet , but it do hold the device securely . the lane assist be very good . as I say I have have 2 other TomTom 's and 1 Garmin . I prefer the TomTom over the Garmin in most category except one . the point of interest feature of the TomTom really stink . the Garmin be far superior in this respect . navigate the pous menu on the TomTom be tedious , confusing , and when you give up and decide to spell what you be look for it `` can not be find '' . I sit in front of a Kohl 's department store and search for it and TomTom could not find it . in another instance it send I to another state , by ferry boat , to a Walmart , when there be one right down the road . buy the TomTom be a no-brainer because of the lifetime map and traffic feature but I see now where other be start to offer this also . overall this be a nice device but if when travel the pous feature be important to you I can not recommend this product . if you be look for a device to simply get you there efficiently this may be for you .
+270	GPS	POS	5	I be a Realtor , so I be always go to new place , and down street that I be unfamiliar with . I guess you could say that on any give day i be show 8 different house in different location . no problem , I just punch in where I want to go and I be there , easy . I 'll break down some of my likes vs. dislike : like : - when I be sit in traffic , I can either hit the detour and it will pick a new route - or I can just look at the overview of the GPS mapping itself , and look for parallel side street . - there be nothing I hate more as a realtor than have the street sign miss for a street . not a problem anymore ! rain , snow , nighttime , I can always see the street come up on the unit , too . I do not have to squint to see the upcoming street sign -lrb- my eye be horrible -rrb- . - if you miss a turn on you program route , the unit will automatically refresh with the best new route . - if I be in a county over from I , I can pull up food , gas , ATM 's , hotel , etc. and it will find the closest one , or I can search by name . - the unit show you you speed , distance to you destination , distance you have go , minute sit idle -lrb- in traffic -rrb- , avg . mile per hour for the trip , and destination time . the destination time be important to I when I have to be at a meeting ... I 'll know how long it will take I to get there , and it be pretty accurate . - it will give you a voice command to `` turn right in 300 ft '' , or `` turn right and then stay leave '' for example . Easy to hear . - I always drive with little fuel -lrb- I be always on ` e ' -rrb- . I love push the fuel icon and it list all the nearest gas station and they distance , location , and phone number -lrb- call for fuel price if bore on a trip -rrb- . it will also map for you how to get there . - it also have , ATM 's , restaurant -lrb- you can search by ` type ' of food - and it will have phone # 's -rrb- , or you can just punch in the letter - like WALMART for example . - no problem lock onto satellite , in any type of weather . - it have a internal battery , so when you turn you car off to put gas in , it 'll stay on & keep you current destination on . - want to stay on MAIN road in unfamiliar territory ? go to ` option ' and tell the unit you be a semi-truck instead of a car . - the quickest route be the default , but you can switch to shortest -lrb- in mile -rrb- . dislike : - I wish it would tell you when to turn a little earlier . it normally tell you to turn left or turn right in 300ft , but this may be difficult in heavy traffic . - do not give x axis or y axis coordinate . no altitude , either . - you have to take it out of you car when you park -lrb- or lock in glove box -rrb- everywhere you go , so it will not get steal . of course this would be a drawback for any portable unit . be you really go to find a unit that do all of this for under $ 300 ? I have search for the last 3 month and have not find a better unit for the price .
+838	GPS	POS	5	I have never own a gp before . since my sense of direction be not always the greatest , I decide a gp might be the answer . this model be suggest by a friend . I take it on a trip to Clearwater Beach in Florida . it be a life saver . it save many argument between my husband , who refuse to ask for direction , and myself . we be able to find place of interest in a timely and efficient manner . the unit be fairly easy to program and the large screen be a plus . it be a great time saver . do not know how I live without it !
+126	GPS	POS	5	I be a fan of the Hertz Magellan Neverlost system , but the bi-modal review of the Magellan Systems give the impression that there be prodcution quality issue . next , I be go to go for the Garmin 2720 . it can be fit with dead reckoning , but need wiring to the car . review make I realize , my main reason for buy a gp be not to use on my car , but on business trip and hence rental car . so portability be key , and the Nuvi have the best form factor . to lug a 2720 -lrb- with laptop , file etc -rrb- on business trip would make thing just the bit more heavy . in addition to the good point give by other reviewer , I must say the mount be excellent . it stick well and because the Nuvi be so light , the mount do not have a lot to do to stick there . also , the cigarette lighter power can cleverly be plug straight into the mount and not the unit . to mount the Nuvi , you have only to flip the antenna up -lrb- activate the gp -rrb- and clip it on . it power up straight away . then , when you get out , all you have to do , be press a small clasp release on the mount and out pop the Nuvi . it even switch itself off after 30 seconds . you can also put the Nuvi in `` search mode '' . while drive on the free way look for food or lodging , you only have to press `` where to '' and then press say `` lodging '' . the Nuvi give you a list of hotel , motel , hostel near you . it also provide distance and arrow show whether they be ahead or behind you current position . the list update itself every few minute as you move along . see something you like ? just press it and the `` go '' button and Nuvi take you there . it be a life saver when we be travel long distance late at night and need somewhere convenient to stay . finally , this be one gadget that my wife love . when on holiday , she invariably end up the navigator . its stressful for she and thing get heat up when I make a wrong turn require difficult new instruction on what to do . Nuvi have change all that . she just sleep through , as the Nuvi announce its `` recalculate '' the route . but indeed , you don `` t get a map which you can load on you pc , there be apparently no way to plan\/alter route on the Nuvi prior to make a trip or to keep a record of you trip . Garmin have be excellent in address user feedback , so I be hopeful . BTW , I do not use the other function such as mp3\/calculator and would prefer the functionality on the GPS be improve rather than these function . but that be just I since I still use a pda .
+514	GPS	NEG	1	purchase this print server and a compatible HP printer assume it should be simple to hook up . while I be not a computer geek , I set my cable wireless modem and three other computer - all interconnect wirelessly . after download the latest firmware and installation software , I spend three hour attempt to get the print server to communicate with the printer . despite my best effort , I could only communicate to the print server via usb . print server do not even show up on the home network . assume I must have overlook a important step , I contact , via email , Netgear tech support . the extent of they support in to send the same set on instruction - it be clearly evident that one one actually read my email . follow the instruction to the letter - several time over but to no avail . I finally send a email thank they for they support but I be throw the server away and send a copy of the email trail to they ceo Pat Lo . receive another form email say how they regret when bad thing happen to they best customer and they hope to do better next time I purchase a Netgear boat anchor . after spend over six hour work on this miserable device , it do feel liberating when I toss it in the can .
+560	GPS	POS	4	I like the Legend a lot . it be perfect for geo-caching which be why I buy it . much easier to use and enter coordinate than the yellow model . map feature be nice even without the software program option . my only complaint be that the computer cable be a outdated serial port adapter , but my -lrb- and probably you -rrb- computer use usb connector . it be work well for I on all of my adventure and be very easy to use . the instruction manual be helpful and there be many feature I have not even use yet . so far so good . I love the product and you can not beat the price on Amazon !
+340	GPS	POS	5	the Nuvi 350 be small enough to carry around yet large and clear enough to use in the car . it be easy to use , direction be excellent and give vocal alert about upcome turn in plenty of time to make they , a feature not fond on some large install unit . I highly recommend it because it do a incredible excellent job and a reasonable price .
+206	GPS	NEU	3	I really like this item - it be easy to put together , be very sturdy and work with both my gp and smart phone . unfortunately the dashboard of my car be curved - and in sharp turn the autodashmount fall right off . I think if my dashboard have a flat spot , it would be perfect . but as it be , the best I can give it be 3 star .
+437	GPS	NEU	3	a pesar de que tiene buenas aplicaciones , el tama & ntilde ; o e perfecto , el mismo no viene con la aplicacion que te mide la distancia total de recorrido , ademas de que dura mucho tiempo recibiendo la se & ntilde ; al de lo satelite , pienso que hubiera sido mejor comprar el streetpilot c330 . El uso de la rueda es un poco complicado cuando ya se esta en marcha , hay que practicamente detenerse para poder ir a la aplicacion deseada . Por esas razones es que le doy 3 estrella
+303	GPS	POS	5	a step up from we previous Nuvi , this Garmin get it right again . we have love we Garmin and loan it out to family member for they trip , and they all say the same . Garmin have a great product , and with `` Lifetime Maps and Traffic '' with this model , we have a unit that will last we for many , many year . download all of the stuff do take a while , but I have already expect that - so it be no surprise . Worth the wait in my opinion not to have to pull over and look through a map or trust someone els `` turn leave by the big brown house '' direction . thanks Garmin !!!
+369	GPS	POS	5	Great GPS ! it do everything it claim to do . it `` recalculate '' when I make wrong turn and\/or hit construction and do not give up until I be head in the correct direction towards my destination .
+636	GPS	POS	5	I own 3 gp , one garmin , one tomtom 910 and since yesterday a 510 . I use the garmin on the trail and the jeep , and my 910 have be with I for a couple of month cruise Europe and North America . I buy the 510 , because it be cheap and also base on my experience with the 910 . my wife want a gp in she car so I order it , in 5 min at work ... then , a couple of day later , while wait for the item , I start read the review and be stun by some of the negative comment ; 2 possibility , either I buy a lemon , or some people have no idea of what they be buy or how to operate a basic electronic device -lrb- like have the 12.00 flash on they VCR -rrb- ... after own the 510 for 10 day , I now believe that some people should stick to paper map ! pro : setup : 20 min , include download the update , and set up the bracket on the windshield of my wife car . navigate the menu be a breeze . reliability : perfect . not one reboot ... the 510 will even navigate through some forest trail in the mountain . pous : plentiful enough ... Bluetooth : synch it with my blackberry pearl the FIRST TIME !!! con : none so far ...
+651	GPS	NEU	3	the product be present as new which ment thirty day free map up-date , but when I try to update be tell it expire .
+411	GPS	POS	4	First of all , the 5 '' screen do the trick for I . Amazon offer it for 200 when best buy have it for 279 and Frys Electronics for 250 . I have not get to use all the feature yet , but do just hook up the bluetooth for my phone . only thing I be have problem with be get more accents\/languages on my gp , I put a 4gb micro sd card in it and still can not get the extra space for they to fit . probably just need to work at it more , but otherwise this gp make my day , be that I just move to a new major city . thank you Garmin ! P.S. . if you go to Garmin 's website they have a application you can download and have you own voice give you direction after record many word and sentence . I 'll get a girlfriend of mine to put she voice on there though . Garmin ... get Cartman 's voice , Keifer Southerland , dane Cook , Etc. . voice file !
+745	GPS	NEG	1	I purchase the TomTom XXL when it be a Lightning Deal , so I make the mistake of order quickly instead of take time to read all the review . I admit , I get suck in by the low price . well , you get what you pay for . the unit be deliver , the instruction say to just plug it into you computer and tomtomhome will start automatically . I plug in the usb cable and my computer recognize the GPS as a external drive , but that be it . nothing happen . I find the file and install manually , and tomtomhome start up . it immediately want to update the software and map , which be exactly why I would plug it in , so I tell it to go ahead . the software update , but I get a error say that there be not enough space for the map update . so I copy the old map to my computer -lrb- which the software be obviously design to do -rrb- and then install the new map . everything seem to be fine , except that it take literally \* hour \* to install the new map even with my high speed connection . everything seem fine , so I eject the unit , shut down the software , and turn on the unit . no map find . that be it , just a white screen that say `` no map find . '' so I plug it back in and try to find the problem HOME say my map need to be activate . okay , so I click activate and enter my promotion code . I get a little green check mark say that I have enter the correct code . I click the button , and I get a xml error . I try at least a dozen time , no luck , xml error . the error message actually say that my code be correct , but they can not activate my map . I go hunting around online for a solution and discover that this have be a ongoing issue since at least 2004 , and TomTom apparently see no reason why they should fix the problem \* or \* stop advertise that they product be Mac compatible when they clearly be not . I pack it back up in the box and print out a return authorization . my new Garmin Nuvi should be deliver tomorrow . I 'll never buy another TomTom product .

+68	GPS	POS	4	overall this have nice feature and easy to use . have good battery life and the only thing I wish that be better be the map feature show you course . other wise I be very happy with my purchase
+541	GPS	POS	5	I love it . the screen be large , the voice clear . it warn I a little in advance before a turn come up . overall I be completely satisfy with it .
+182	GPS	POS	5	very complete map and million of pous . search function on the Garmin 60 CSX be very intuitive , better than my car navigation system . this will make you hike gp device just as functional for driving\/walking anywhere .
+936	GPS	POS	4	a gp without map software be like a computer with no operating system . City Navigator definitely make life easier and if you get the 2gb microsd -lrb- transflash -rrb- memory card , you can load the entire dvd of north american map -lrb- about 1.6 gb -rrb- . I be a little surprised , however , that even with the new version 8 I be find several innacuracy -lrb- road and poi -rrb- . I realize that old road be change and new road be build and business come and go . but Garmin charge about $ 130 for the City Nav NA v8 and about $ 100 for the upgrade . I just think that for as much money as you spend on the unit , case , power adapter , mount , memory card and the map , you should at least be able to get update free for a period of time . in my mind , that be equivalent to a motherboard manufacturer provide firmware update for a couple of year . anyway , the cost of maintain current map and innacuracy be why I give it 4 instead of 5 star .
+960	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this unit for my wife -lrb- a real-estate agent -rrb- . I do a lot of comparision and read a ton of review on GPS unit , leave money out of the picture I focus on two thing that she needs\/uses on a daily basis . itinerary -lrb- multiple address -rrb- and two possible saftey feature . this allow up to 10 address for a itinerary that she can rank in she order , this be probably the main reason . Second be safety , this have a buddy system , which allow another tomtom owner to see where you be . now we have not use this or test it yet , but it do have some capability for I to track the device -lrb- will do in the future -rrb- . I could not find any other device that allow any sort of tracking\/locating . so this win out . the device work great , she love it . we use it for two vacation and it work flawless , do not give I the route I want to take for we trip to N.C. -lrb- which no gp unit would have be able to do , because I go a specific route -rrb- , but be still extremely helpful . for we other vacation , I have no clue where I be go and it do a perfect job . it do not say street name , but that be a preference that make no difference . for the money it be perfect , and I really do not see any other reason to purchase a more expensive model , do not need another mp3 player or photo viewer . I would have gladly spend more if it be need , but I need GPS for a real-estate agent , and I could not find anything that be better than the tom tom one v2 . -lrb- I be not consider buy the v3 -rrb- thanks to all who take the time to leave a review it help I tremendously !
+150	GPS	POS	5	wonder what Patrick be talk about . the product be launch less than 6 month ago . Patrick say he warranty expire ... and complain about the short one year warranty . sorry Patrick ... but the math do not make yours a credible story . I own this product and love it . Matt
+693	GPS	POS	5	Came in time for Christmas ! do not include trail software , though . that must be purchase separately .
+22	GPS	POS	5	I have a Nuvi 660 whose speaker fail and so I need a new GPS . after research on Amazon review , I decide that the 1450 be a good choice , and much cheaper than my prior model . I be delighted to find that I could copy my address book to the new device and so I do not lose\/have-to-reenter all of my address . I absolutely love the larger screen !! ... and the louder voice !!! I have not attempt to turn on the traffic info , as we travel be mostly interstate , and the review give poor rating to this aspect . I absolutely love the way it display numerous lane and tell I , visually , which lane to be in !! my son want a gp and I recommend this model to he and he , too , have be very happy with it .
+116	GPS	POS	5	the tom tom xxl 550tm be the best gp i have own . I like the custom voice and icon for you vehicle . the price can not be beat for a 5 inch lifetime traffic and map for only 119.00 . what be you wait for , buy one now you will not be disappoint .
+704	GPS	POS	5	I be the owner of several Garmin product and they never disapoint I . buy through Amazon be a pleasure .
+915	GPS	NEG	1	the product you purchase today may not be what you eventually end up with . TomTom have a habit of `` upgrade '' the gp with feature they think you want . this be do by remove feature you have come to use and like . for example , the original gp I purchase have a auto-zoom feature in 2d map mode , so as you approach a turn , it would zoom in on the map . this be very helpful when two street be close together . now this only work in 3d mode which I find useless . they also take away the direction of travel associate with the compass -lrb- n , s , w , se , etc. -rrb- . now you have to figure it out by look at a little blue arrow that spin around . expect to spend a long wait time on the phone for customer service and have they tell you `` well , that be the way it work now '' .
+700	GPS	POS	5	this unit be nicely price and well equip . most everyone can pick it up and start use the interface with no more trouble than a ipod -lrb- parent and neighbor include -rrb- . it do not take much space in you car , but if you want to remove from the vehicle often , the Nuvi 's be thinner with bigger screen , but cost more . this be a fantastic navigational aid on trip . do not buy it if you want to go off road or into deep wood , but everyone else will love it .
+934	GPS	POS	4	. . be that the heartrate appear in very small font at the right corner which make it impossible to read when run . there be no disply option that I have find that would allow I to look at the heartrate in a bigger font screen center . I think they try to fix this in a later model . bummer ! overall , I like this product .
+388	GPS	POS	5	this be my third Tom Tom and be a replacement for one I lose . I have always be happy with the feature and accuracy of the arrival time . the route select generally be the optimal route as best as I can tell . the battery life be not great but I only use it in the car and it be always plug in .
+589	GPS	POS	5	the gp work great . kudos to Garmin for design it to use a universal mini-usb to power and connect to a computer . a universal cell phone car charger use the mini-usb power this baby . Powers off the usb when connect to a computer too . bummer about the lousy base map provide with the unit .
+397	GPS	POS	4	this nuvus have same `` problem '' as my old one from 5-6 year ago . to the lay person it appear it can not charge and run at the same time -lrb- ie : plug it in for charge-up and it stop mapping -rrb- . turn out it can sense specifically where it be get it be 12 vdc . if it be from a REAL usb port -lrb- like on a laptop -rrb- , it shut down however if its from another 12 vdc source through the supply usb cable it be ok . I 'll bet my old one have the same issue but Garmin only tell I the shutdown be not normal and\/or I must be mistaken !
+543	GPS	POS	5	simple setup , and work without a hitch with my canon ip4300 . have a mixed environment of window 7 and xp computer print in less than 15 min .
+779	GPS	POS	5	Garmin nuvi 350 3.5-inch portable GPS Navigator  it have some nice extra , like a audio book reader , a photo viewer -lrb- do not use -rrb- , & a mp3 player -lrb- have not use yet -rrb- . but the basic mapping and trip planning be accurate , easy to follow , easy to program , with clear graphic . I have have it cut out briefly in isolate mountain area , but that be unavoidable -- it last a lot longer than my cell phone ! I highly recommend Garmin , and the nuvus 350 in particular .
+241	GPS	POS	5	I absolutely love the c340 . I do not understand some of the critic of this because mine be exactly what I would hope for and expect . the detour function be awsome . no glare issue . we 'll see how it endure , but out of the box it work as advertise . a few month later , it have take trip from tn to MI to CA to Vancouver and back . it help bypass problem area and find great place to eat\/stay as well as point of interest along the way . signal be always strong , as far as I could tell . there may be more highspeed feature other need out there ; but for the money and simplify ease , this be perfect .
+566	GPS	POS	4	unit do a good job with direction . on trip , time compute be way off and correct too slowly . for the price the 510 be a good purchase .
+784	GPS	NEG	1	I purchase this in Sept 2011 . work ok to begin with . then it start freezing up , but I could cut it off and it would get ok . on 2\/23\/2012 , it freeze up again while down town Detroit and I try to get out of that city . this be just a piece of junk . it be still freeze up and I will probably purchase some other type of GPS . I would not reccomend anyone waste they money on a GARMIN .
+279	GPS	POS	5	the Garmin i3 be exactly what I be look for in a GPS unit ... small , easy to use , reliable and accurate . the StreetPilot software be simple to install on my pc and be current up to about 2005 . I notice some store and restaurant over a year old be not available . however , you can download Points of interest from various 3rd party internet site to update some missing location . if you plan on travel throughout the US I would suggest purchase a larger memory card . the supply 128mb card will only hold about 7-10 state map . overall I be very pleased with my purchase .
+278	GPS	NEG	1	we buy this for my teenage son , who be want to know how far he would run each day . after 2 month , he have be able to use it 3 time . it will not keep a charge . I charge it and by the next time he want to use it , it be not charge anymore . and of course , when I go to see about return it , Amazon say that we can not because the return window be go . not good . still have to get in touch with customer service , and hopefully they can give I some guidance for use it and a way to keep the charge .
+180	GPS	POS	5	I be reluctant to pay more money , consider I see other price hundred less . I recently move to a new state , and need something short of hijack a local to get around . I like to expandability of this middle of the road model . I especially like the portability of it , that I can carry it in my pocketbook or mount it on the car . although I find turn it on take a few hard push on the button-but it still be a great device . it have prove itself especially in traffic when I hit the detour button . it be well worth the money !!!
+349	GPS	POS	5	this be my first gp . I have no desire to see any other . I have do the due diligence and research before decide to purchase the Garmin 1300 with lifetime map update . it be the easiest device to use and have find it very reliable get I to my destination . Garmin could do a better marketing job to let customer know what include with the purchase . I be thrill I have purchase the `` best '' product on the market . I never feel like I do not know where I be go ! good product at a good price . Voice feature be loud and clear enough to understand even with music playing at a pretty high volume ... overall could not be happier with my NUVI Charging be the issue i encounter on a road trip . if Nuvi be in direct sunlight it wont charge and the battery drain . still not a problem . if on a long trip in the sun turn it off for a spell to save the life of battery .
+586	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this for my 1490t but lose it in like a week . its a good product especially the side pocket on the side . I would just purchase another one at a local store for cheaper tho . it would save you some real $ $ $
+294	GPS	NEG	1	be sell as a accessory but it be not need because there be one already include in the gp box . return it .
+985	GPS	POS	4	have only give the unit limited use , but quite pleased so far . good feature . like compact size . Easy control . good visuals\/audio . well design .
+290	GPS	POS	5	purchase this for my wife , who have trade in a vehicle with built-in navigation for a new vehicle that do not offer a built-in option . I have also have several vehicle with built-in navigation , include BMW , Mercedes-Benz , Audi , and Lexus . from a performance perspective , the Nuvi 350 work every bit as well as the built-in unit and at a very low price -lrb- comparitively -rrb- . the only `` nit '' that I can pick be : 1 . -rrb- I wish the navigation announcement could be louder - they can easily be drown out by radio or cd , and unlike built-in system the Nuvi can not interrupt the audio . 2 . -rrb- the power cord should be on a retract reel , like many accessory for laptop computer . as it be , the long cord be a little clumsy . but overall , the Nuvi 350 be a winner .
+253	GPS	POS	4	the i3 be great for whatever you need be . the screen be quite small but it do the job . Great for travel and slapping in a rental car .
+292	GPS	POS	5	the Garmin nuvus 350 be a great gp for the money . it be very easy to use and have great feature . we buy it to give to we oldest son as he be leave for college , which give we peace of mind as parent . I highly recommend it . Dan -lrb- Kansas City , MO -rrb-
+703	GPS	POS	4	I be very happy with this garmin 110 and although early day it do exactly everything I need of it . I intentionally purchase this model garmin for its simplisity and that exactly what I have get . no super flash add-on , it do exactly what I want it to do and that be ; log my run , provide my pace , and provide the distance I have run - easy . very simple to use and so far I have have no problem with the ` clamp ' connection for charge and pc download . yes it can be a bit fiddely but be not difficult . all in all fantastic and I wish I have purchase one much earlier in my run life .
+54	GPS	NEG	2	I just return the second Garmin 1450lmt which arrive without any user 's manual . it do have a `` Quick Start Guide '' , but this be inadequate to explain the function of the unit . Amazon try for 15 minute to contact Garmin and then give up .
+237	GPS	POS	5	ok , this be my first GPS unit , so I have nothing else with which to compare it . we have just use it for the first time and be very impressed . we live in a very small subdivision out in the country in central Arizona . the TomTom recognize we home location and direct we faultlessly to a destination in Phoenix . as we move along the Interstate , it show all of the cross road and exit number as we approach they . it know the speed limit and the speed we be travel -lrb- talk about Eye in the sky ! -rrb- . it give a arrival time , number of mile to destination , and number of mile to next turn . it announce the turn clearly use street name . despite this , the pilot take the wrong exit -lrb- `` c '' instead of `` b '' - he fault , not the unit 's -rrb- and the TomTom immediately begin give clear instruction to the destination from we new unplanned position . you can ask it `` where be I '' and it tell you in term of street and city and also show the latitude and longitude . the screen map even show little insignificant dirt road lead off the state highway , which could be important if one need to pull off the road . you can also call up point of interest - restaurant ; gas , police , and fire station ; medical facility and hospital and much more . the restaurant information for the town nearest we home be a bit outdated , as several place have close or change name . there be a emergency button to press - I do not know what it actually do , but if I ever have a emergency , I 'll let you know . the next test will be on a yard sale adventure and I 'll find out how well it do find house address in small town . if there be a problem , I 'll update the review . the TomTom do not play music or show family picture . it be strictly a gp unit with a touch screen and that be exactly what I want . I be very pleased with this purchase .
+175	GPS	NEG	1	I and my gp go to yellowstone i be lose most of the tine garmin 1450 go to hell
+928	GPS	POS	5	I use to have the Tomtom one , with a 4.3 '' screen . I get this one for the larger screen . the software have many improvement , but be essentially the same . what I really like be the red light camera notification the map update service and the traffic info . if you like earlier Tomtoms , this be a great upgrade .
+351	GPS	POS	5	we be very happy with we purchase and the price be right ! there be a couple of glitch with the map but that be probably a satellite problem . for instance ... it seem to think we house be on the leave when it be actually on the right . then I use it to go to a newer area of we town and none of those street be in the satellite . that will probably happen sooner or later . I purchase a 2 gig SanDisk for $ 35 in order to download the entire United States . the system come with a 128 mb .
+743	GPS	POS	5	I delay buy the 305 because I really want a gp watch that could report cadence . I consider the Polar rs800g3 , but it be more than twice the price and not as easy to use . I consider wait for the Forerunner 405 , but I be start a new season and do not want to change run log mid-season . so , I buy the 305 for less than $ 220 and add the foot pod -lrb- $ 80 -rrb- a week later . I plan on use the foot pod for indoor workout . my first run with it be on the treadmill . although the distance report differ slightly , it be fairly close without calibration . when I download the datum to my computer , I be surprise that it have record cadence ! but I pessimistically assume that it would not work when the gp be in use . my next run be outdoors , and to my surprise the 305 record cadence and gp distance at the same time ! I be even able to change the display to show cadence during my run . that be how easy it be to configure ! this watch greatly exceed my expectation ! I strongly recommend it for any serious endurance athlete !
+526	GPS	POS	5	we have have this for about a month now . use it on a few local trip and a vac out west . Works well . Works even better when you have a idea on where you be go to start with so you can bypass some of the recommend side cut . Easy to configure , easy to setup trip , easy to find local restaurant , fuel , etc. . overall , we like the gp and look fwd to continue use . I have gp functionality on my Blackberry -lrb- Tour -rrb- , but come on ... this Nuvi have a 5 '' screen that I can see across the room . db
+901	GPS	NEG	2	the description say '' ... you TomTom EASE guide you door-to-door with turn-by-turn speak instruction INCLUDING STREET NAMES . '' it do NOT speak street name . this be word so carefully so as to cover they ass but it be deceptive .
+157	GPS	POS	4	I will apologize for the long review to follow -lrb- I usually try to keep it to one screen -rrb- . over the past three year I have use three different gp unit from three different manufacturer . I think a side by side comparison might be useful . the technology continue to advance , as do the feature set offer in the way of traffic reporting\/rerouting and map update , so I will try to stick the general feature set\/usability of each unit unless it pertain to a feature that I can not see buy a gp without . the three GPS unit be a Motorola Motonav TN765T , TomTom XL 350TM and Garmin Nuvi 760 . Motorola Motonav TN765T pro : \* best screen resolution of the three \* fast trip calculation\/recalculation and voice input or destination be a great feature \* best overall display and on screen information content pertain to speed , direction , etc. . - light weight - plenty of expansion feature -lrb- at a cost -rrb- - 2d or 3d map render - phone Bluetooth integration be easy to setup - satellite lock be fast and stable con : - the mount be wonderfully articulate , so that you can mount and adjust it to you heart 's content , but it vibrates\/jiggles constantly in my car so that it make it hard to read the display - Motorola decide to place a couple of control on the back of the unit , and I find that I be constantly trigger they while adjust the unit - can you say advertisement ? I know you could - traffic information be often slow to load or incorrect -lrb- either I be already fifteen minute into a delay when it finally load , or it report a delay on a stretch of highway that be completely open -rrb- , but the TomTom and Garmin be no better - use with Bluetooth next to useless , even with the top up and window close my Miata be too noisy to make this usable -lrb- all of these gp unit rate the same in this respect , so I will not bother to repeat this -rrb- - limited map update -lrb- I think it be 6 month or less -rrb- - the accompany software never work successfully on my Windows 7 64bit system -lrb- maybe they have remedy this by now , at the time Windows 7 have just come out and Motorola be apparently not concern as they support personnel never respond to my contact -rrb- TomTom XL 350TM pro : \* lifetime map update be very nice -lrb- update be restricted to quarterly -rrb- - interface be easy to navigate \* traffic monitor include -lrb- no ad or expiration -rrb- -lrb- however , it be still often wrong -rrb- \* plenty of poi , many available via download -lrb- on the con side , the parent company do not seem to maintain these pous list or the accompany graphic , go figure , you would think that Starbucks and McDonald 's would want you to know just where to find all of they location and be able to readily identify they from the little icon -rrb- - map color modification , though I have not be able to get it to look just like the Garmin , which I find to be the best of the bunch in they default setting - I like the on screen information content , the essential be there , but the Motorola rule this feature - accompany software work well con : - mount bracket be good but not great , I get the least vibration , but it often break loose on I , such that I need to verify the ring be rotate fully clockwise -lrb- a simple lock mechanism would have be a great addition -rrb- - I have be bite a couple of time by allow the unit to reroute I past delay , beware that it do not monitor surface street traffic -lrb- I try to bypass the local fair highway traffic only to have it reroute I onto the surface street that wind directly past the fair turn a 30 minute delay into a 90 minute delay -rrb- - satellite lock be often slow to connect when the unit be turn on , especially in cloudy weather and can lose lock if the weather be poor - limited set of downloadable voice and vehicle avatar -lrb- unless you be willing to pay -rrb- Garmin Nuvi 760 pro : \* simplest interface , intuitive , require little or no documentation to get start use the device \* the mount bracket be by far the most secure with the least vibration and the easiest to fasten and remove the unit - best set of downloadable feature from voice to vehicle avatar , most free - accompany software work well con : - no map update - 3 month free traffic information , then you pay to subscribe to the free information -lrb- I see that both of these item be available in the newer version of the Garmin product -rrb- - while I prefer the default color scheme of the Garmin , the overall graphic display on this devise be below the minimal display I would expect from a GPS now overall impression : I find the Garmin to be the easiest to use and I notice that the current version include many of the feature that I find preferable in the other manufacturer 's model . I currently use the TomTom as the most functional of the unit that I currently own , however , if I be to buy a new unit at this time , I would opt for a Garmin base upon my experience with the above unit . p - -rrb-
+862	GPS	POS	5	we really love the RoadMate 1700 . we have a 2009 Buick with a navigation system in it and it be very incompetent compare to the RoadMate 1700 . we have a rv that it be great in , but you will need the long window mount for a rv . we also have a jeep Wrangler we use it in . we even use it in we Buick instead of the built-in one . it far exceed we expectation . we expect it to be about like the Buick 's system , but I can not stress more how much better this be .
+625	GPS	POS	5	to echo the comment of other satisfied customer , this be what runner have be wait for . a meaningful -lrb- and accurate ! -rrb- speedometer for runner !! I have use this product several time , in a variety of condition and have only receive the weak signal alarm once -lrb- and that be with tree cover and significant terrain -rrb- . while other reviewer have opt to wear the unit on they upper arm , I wear it like a watch and have not have problem . I like the fact that this unit be significantly smaller than the Bodylink unit and be contain in a single unit .  the accuracy be amazing . over a 3.5 mile partially wood trail , the Forerunner differ from a post mileage marker 0.04 mile . on a 25-mile open road bicycle ride , the Forerunner differ from my cyclometer by 0.1 mile -lrb- I assume that the cyclometer need calibration -rrb- .  the ability to load new firmware be a powerful feature of the Forerunner . I upgrade to the latest version upon receive the unit . the process take a few minute and add several new feature . one of the new feature , interval training , be well lay out and easy to customize .  one noticeable downside be no auto-shutoff . while the battery life be advertise at 14 hour , I accidentally leave it on in my briefcase and drain the battery . I hope they fix this in future firmware version .  if you be a casual runner who want to log a couple of hour a week or you be look for a unit to do navigation or geo-caching , look elsewhere . but if you want to keep meticulous track of you mileage and hold to a detailed training plan , the Forerunner be invaluable .
+851	GPS	NEG	1	I test this on several different usb device -lrb- Apple stuff , gp , bluetooth -rrb- and in two different car just to make sure . it do not charge any of 'em - neither charge port work .
+20	GPS	POS	5	after a lot of research I settle on the c530 for the price . I be terrible with direction , and get lose a lot so this be begin to be a necessary purchase . this gp be great ! the screen be easy to see , and the auto-adjust mode be really helpful . this gp have a amazingly long battery life - mine have be go strong for over 5 hour . I have not try update the map , and since I buy a refurbish unit some map be outdate , but in general I have not have any trouble with it . I honestly can not say anything negative about the c530 . for what I pay I have be extremely pleased .
+223	GPS	POS	5	my first GPS , which I get because I would be drive in Italy , and believe I , and my rental car passenger , this turn out to be a life-saver . we would have miss a hundred turn -lrb- the round-about be especially hard to navigate by eyesight alone , as they sometimes have several exit with small or no sign that whiz by in this italian mixmaster traffic -rrb- , and some rural location , like b&b; s , be simply off the marked road . enter a town , road or street and a number , and it 'll take you there , or if it do not have one , punch in coordinate from the host . also , after read some review of other gpss , I be surprise to see how well the unit perform in city in pedestrian mode , regardless of high building , as the `` Hotfix '' feature quickly pick up any lose signal -lrb- this be true even in longish tunnel in northern Italy -rrb- . the four-hour battery be great for out-of-vehicle use . also , review for other model complain how long it take to get satellite fix and map load on arrival in the foreign country , but this gp get they up in about a minute . the Italy map be very detailed and the restaurant\/points of interest\/fuel stop nearby feature very quick and accurate . conversion from mph to KPH be simple and the many other feature be easy and intuitive , too . I be not a techie at all , but I can use this device very well . one more thing : tech service . I get help for update map because I be not very technical , and a very nice and helpful agent be on the phone with I in less than 5 minute .
+565	GPS	POS	5	I be so pleased with the rooCASE Neoprene Sleeve that I will buy more to protect other item that I have . it be very protective , very attractive and do the job nicely . it fit my gp like it be make for it .
+420	GPS	NEG	1	I buy this Garmin nuvus 1350lmt 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates recently . it take I 4-5 hour download the update map as expect . but I be not very happy with the distorted sound when it be give I direction . I return the product and request for a replacement . it only take 2 day which I be very pleased . however , to my dismay , the replacement product have the same distorted sound problem .
+800	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this case for a recently purchase Garmin nuvi 2460LMT -lrb- 5 '' -rrb- . I have purchase Garmin GPS unit in the past and each time Garmin include a protective case . not so with this one . back to Amazon to find a appropriate protective case . there be plenty to choose from but at $ 8.66 incl . tax & delivery , this be it ! fit my Garmin perfectly and just as good as the case Garmin provide in the past . highly recommend .
+523	GPS	POS	4	Thought about purchase a gp system for quite awhile but could not decide which one . daughter and she husband recommend a Garmin and after look they over and read other review decide this be what we need to have in the vehicle my husband use for business and then I use it to find a store . now we discuss who get to use it !
+832	GPS	POS	5	I be really please use this unit . it do its job so cool . there be a 2 gig memory on it and you can put you music -lrb- mp3 's -rrb- or picture and everything . its shape be also great I mean it be not way too big . screen and color be perfect ! there be two thing that I dont like so far . the First one be the antenna . you have to open it up at all time to use while drive . while open it make a little noise which bother I . another thing be right after I get this unit , I drive to NY . when I be in manhattan , sometimes it couldnt find the point that I ask . finally it be find everything but I guess sometime these thing might happen because this gp be not the most expensive one . when you compare the unit and its price its just great ! BTW if it get stick , just reset it ! I have do just one time so far .
+905	GPS	POS	5	have be a Garmin user for over 5 year , I always love the look and feel of the map and user interface . it be time for I to get a new one and I definitely want a larger screen . the screen of this model be just amazing : it be a lot bigger compare to the 4.3 '' screen model , and quite bright even under sunlight . I only keep the brightness at 60 % and can still see where I be suppose to go while keep my eye on the road . that be huge ! I also find the `` lane assist with junction view '' feature particularly useful . another big perk that come with this model be the lifetime map update ! I have not update map in my previous model because of the additional cost and do get lose a few time . now I no longer need to worry because the map get update a few time a year !
+546	GPS	POS	4	replace a older garmin version . especially helpful be be tell which lane to be in when come to a busy intersection or interchange in a unfamiliar area . also , like the speed limit feature . the speed limit change on the gp whenever it change on the road so you be not always have to look for the speed limit sign . the screen display at the bottom show you side by side how fast you be go and the speed limit . lifetime map upgrade be a huge plus too .
+322	GPS	POS	5	I love this product . I just wish they would come with the ability to insert a address book from outlook , etc. in it . I do not believe any of they do that .
+99	GPS	POS	5	love this gadget , keep I motivate to maintain pace when I start to get tired . I be a novice runner and only use the basics . there be many feature that would be great for the fitness fanatic .
+164	GPS	NEU	3	I buy this unit over TX Giving sale . the primary reason be that my other Garmin c330 gp be get dated and for the price of new map I could get this -lrb- with lifetime update -rrb- . set up be fairly easy . user interface do not take long get use to . during the trip it have nice trip summary such as mile left , time leave , upcome exit with exit # in top right corner . I have only make one long trip with this gp and even though I have fastest route set on , the GPS pick some really small road towards the end of the destination . I be follow a route that I have already travel on so I choose to ignore the GPS . it re-calculate fairly quickly . overall it be a good buy for the money
+483	GPS	POS	5	I be very happy with this product , it be very useful and covered my spectation .
+866	GPS	POS	5	I be so happy to recieve this item that I could barely open the box ! it be well-packaged , and the product be intact upon recieve it . I take it out and immediately use it to update my GeoMate . it be very easy to use ! the only downer be that the GeoMate list of point be not as concise as the geocaching.com website 's point list . honestly , I be a beginner geocacher , and my focus be more on the actual find , rather than what point be part of a series , etc. so the lack of be able to enter coordinate do not really affect I . overall , this be a great start tool to help introduce someone to the fun and challenging world of geocach !
+208	GPS	POS	5	bought 3 for employees\/family . everyone report that it work great right out of the box . First trip be from NJ to sc with no problem . good value for the money . would suggest that the mfgr include a cloth bag for storage when you want to take it off of the windshield in a bad neighborhood . would recommend .
+837	GPS	POS	5	this charger solve a problem for I on my sailboat . how to keep two smart phone and a mp3 player charge , while not lose one of my 12volt socket . it be a very clever design and work as it should with no problem so far . the only problem you might run into be that if you be plug in something to the center while use the usb 's the plug as to be pretty slim .
+854	GPS	POS	4	this be a very good product . the only reason i give it four star instead of five be because the keyboard sometimes need to be touch a couple of time to enter a letter in the alphabet . i travel over 2700 mile in 10 day and use my garmin nuvus 1490 all the time . the blue tooth be easy to hear a phone conversation but the person on the other end of the conversation have a hard time hear what i be say . maybe because it be position on the dash , but where else would you put it and still be able to see it comfortibily ?
+677	GPS	POS	5	I recently use the device for a trip from New Jersey to West Virginia . the Garmin Nuvi 350 take I from point a to point b without a problem . it even navigate through back road to several state park located in the mountain . I be especially impress by the way it navigate through multiple highway that either converge or split into other highway . the audible navigation be clear and the system be quick to recalculate a route when need . it be understandable that not every roadway or address can be properly list . perhaps municipality and\/or county who already gather local mapping information can lend a hand by submit up to date information so consumer can have the latest datum at a reasonable price . at a cost of $ 670.00 , Garmin could have offer the consumer at least one free map update when it become available . I recommend this device to anyone who need or like to travel .
+806	GPS	POS	5	buy this product for a 2200 mile trip . get it two day before start and find it extremely easy to set up and learn . still learn some area such as map correction . recommend buy the unit with the traffic and life time map . deliver be as state . product work right out of the box . all the part be there . as far as use , I purchase this unit for the map update , screen size and the lane direction . it be very helpful in large city where be in the right lane to exit or join another freeway be in play . I have not use the map correction update yet , but it look like it would be very helpful . the speak dirction be very well do and allow you to choose from several different voice . I highly recommend this product and Amazon .
+993	GPS	POS	4	I like Navman pocket pc with gp . it be simple to use and have enough feature for those look for a pocket pc to store email , contact and some file . also good companion while on Road -lrb- I name this gadget with my wife name - show direction while move -rrb- 2 bad thing about this product ; 1 . map be old , not sure how to get latest map . 2 . I be still not able to connect to my wireless router -lrb- comcast broadband -rrb- for internet access .
+911	GPS	POS	5	I have use top-of-the-line hike gp unit from Magellan , Garmin , Delorme , and Lowrance and this explorist 710 get the highest grade ! it simply do everything and do it well . not only be it superb for hike and geocach , but it also will deliver door-to-door speak direction turn-by-turn . the build in camera do a great job at grab those `` I wish I have a camera right now '' shot . it have a large screen which be easy to read in sunlight and the intuitive touchscreen control be well think out . I do not understand the criticism from some of the reviewer here . if you want high quality video , then buy a high quality video camera ! do you really expect hd 1080p video from a hike gp unit ? come on people get real ! the only other gp that come close to the 710 be the Garmin Montana , but since the 710 come with Summit city map as well as complete US topo map pre-loaded , it be clearly a better deal ! highly recommend for hike and geocach !
+488	GPS	POS	5	I have use the optional nav system that be a $ 2,000 option in most car , and the Garmin c340 be by far the easiest and best perform nav system I have ever use , at a fraction of the price . it be so user friendly that all I have to do be turn it on and go . the amount of datum pre-loaded into the unit be stagger . my relative that live on a private road with only three other home be in the system . the other system I have use could only get I to a intersection , about a mile away . my only regret be that I do not spend a little more to purchase one that be bluetooth ready . I be thrill with my c340 and purchase it on Amazon.com be easy and fast .
+386	GPS	POS	5	this be such a nice small and cheap item , I have to order 2 of they , just to have one in each car .
+528	GPS	POS	4	I buy this product for my girlfriend and she love it . it be ideal for those who enjoy run at a amateur level . it help you to track you distance , which be , I think , the greatest benefit it have . on the other hand , the design be really cool , and while you be not run it can be use as a watch . the price be just right .
+147	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this unit use from Amazon , and it be almost brand new when it arrive ! I be expect a little wear and tear but it be perfect . I would still be happy if I pay full price for it !  the first thing I do when I receive my unit be to upgrade the firmware . this correct a few minor flaw and add the ability take detour . sound great but I have not use it yet . they just release a new firmware which fix problem where it tell you to `` keep leave '' on a road where you be obviously go straight , but there be a exit to another road .  i only have a couple minor suggestion , but be otherwise thrill with the unit . it not only get I to my destination , but all my friend like to play with it !  thing to change : - enter road name that have space . you actually need to select the `` space '' between the two name . Minor , but annoy . - the ability to enter multiple destination . this would be incredibly helpful ! I be not ask the unit to calculate all the route , but just store the next waypoint then automatically take I there . sometimes I 'll have 2 or 3 place I need to go and would like to program they at once . other time I 'll be on my way to my destination and realize I need to pick up beer for Monday Night Football . if I could `` insert '' a waypoint that be ` the nearest supermarket ' then I would be a Garmin user forever . - spoken instruction should include street name . speech technology be get very good -lrb- e.g. Sprint PCS 's Voice command -rrb- and it would be awesome to have the speak direction include the actual street name . currently , the speak direction be `` turn leave in 1.7 mile '' while the on screen direction will be `` exit 92 East towards Hayward . '' I would like to not have to take my eye off of the road know exactly which road I will be turn on . - antenna . the include antenna be ok , but I just order a aftermarket , longer one . occassionaly I will get `` satellite signal lose '' because the unit be on the passenger seat and lose line of sight with the satellite -lrb- I do not have a good place to mount the unit in my car -rrb- . now I can mount the antenna and get better reception .
+459	GPS	POS	5	execellent easy to use device with lot of option . also the unit 's graffic be fun and cute . it take AA battery so it be not difficult to power . it also have a car adapter that you can purchase , but I do not recomend use it in a car since it do not have map software build in . it seem more for explore by foot or watercraft .  the product seem well make , and easy to find if you drop it . it also be supposidly waterproof .  the manual be a easy read , and there be a pamphlet that come with it that allow you to jump right in without know too much .  i pick this item up because it be recommen on the gecaching website as be a good value .
+387	GPS	NEU	3	you need a bit of techno-knowledge to really appreciate this device . just take awhile to learn it be possibility . out of the box it seem to work flawlessly , however , as I begin to use it , it start to show some quirk . contact Garmin via email and receive a quick response to the problem . the solution be to download a newer chipset . the unit work again for a few day and then fail . still look for a solution . install the various piece on you bike will take some time . not want to fool with the installation , I take it to my bike dealer and they install the unit the correct way . Worth the extra buck . now I just want it to work . still wait for a new solution .
+876	GPS	NEU	3	I be mostly satisfy with the function , however , the map be way behind the time . when I say way behind I mean year behind . Dallas and Fort Worth be grow quickly so this gp be often not of good service to I . I feel I pay a premium price for a standard gp .
+637	GPS	NEG	1	the Garmin 1490LMT be simply a horrible gp unit . the only good thing about it be the large screen , but even it can look bad when view at much of a angle . it will not pair with my Bluetooth phone , as claim . the speech synthesizer sound like something from 1980 . horrible and annoying . in my brief usage around town , I find it have street name wrong . even with map detail set to maximum , it often do not show many street unless you turn onto they . even major exit ramp do not appear ! meanwhile , it will show `` road '' that be essentially just driveway . it often give extremely little advance notice of turn . so little that you have no time to slow down to make the turn . the map display be miserable . in map view -lrb- straight down 2d view -rrb- , the road can look so wide that they overlap each other -lrb- if it bother to show they at all -rrb- . in 3d mode , the perspective be very misleading and unrealistic . then there be the repeat annoyance of just turn it on . every single time it have a warning that you have to click on -lrb- or wait for a while to go away on its own -rrb- . then it go back to the main menu . so , you stop at a gas station and get back in the car a few minute later . yes , you have to click the warning . then it do not take you to where you leave off . it go back to the main menu ! what the heck ?! my ancient Mio be so much better than this unit be every single way except screen size . this Garmin be go back , today .
+332	GPS	POS	5	I buy this gp about 3 month ago and it have perform well in all aspect . now I buy this gp with the primary purpose of hiking , biking , and geocaching -lrb- I have a separate gp for the car -rrb- . if you be look for a gp to use in the car ... there be better one , this one will not call out direction such as `` turn leave in 400 ft on 5th street '' like other model will . it will do road direction , but it will only give audio beep que . if you want you gp to do the outdoors-type of stuff that I do , you probably can not find one that be better . I see a comment about it run down battery too quickly when I be shop and be concern , but because 2 friend of mine have and love this model , I take the plunge . I have have no battery issue . I use nickel-metal-hydride rechargable in it and they work great . I would also recommend that you read the instruction manual . when I first start use it , it would point the wrong direction ... it be really wierd , I think it be break . then I read the instruction manual and realize that I need to calibrate the compass . the simple procedure take all of 15 seconds , and everything be correct . aside from this , this model have a ton of functionality , I have spend hour go through all of the feature and probably could have save a lot of time by read the manual . overall , as I say earlier , this be a superb product .
+123	GPS	POS	5	it be very to set up the graghic on the garmin 350 be wonderful when we have a question about the garmin and we contact amazon they be very quick to help and very polite , there be really no problem with product it be with the operator .
+91	GPS	POS	5	the unit install very easily . the 12v connector work very well and do not disconnect . both the gp unit and the pda be power from the 12v connection . the software load easily on the laptop and transfer to the ipaq with no problem . the map require a little forethought . however , loadie all of the state of Indiana still leave lot of room on a sd card for other thing . the system take about 90 seconds to acquire satellite and then route very well . have only use it for local route , but that be where I would need help most anyway . I already know how to use the interstate to get from one large metropolitan area to another -lrb- i.e. Chicago to Cleveland be relatively easy get on the interstate and stay on it -rrb- . sometimes it tell you about a exit just a little to close to the ramp . the voice prompt be very helpful .
+402	GPS	POS	5	I purchase this Garmin Forerunner so I could track in detail , all the aspect of my run . Heartrate , distance , pace , elevation gain and lose etc. . I love it ! only thing I can see as a small drawback be the short battery life . otherwise all be good , just put it on its plug in cradle when not in use there should be no worry .
+957	GPS	NEG	1	i would like to know a phone number to call a amazon representative because i order a gp on April 27 but i do not receive yet i make a claim via email but i never receive a response from amazon or any third party this be my review about my purchase . i hope somebody read this and get a rapid response . my email address be wilmar.barrameda@gmail.com[ -lrb- ASIN : B00005B4BJ Garmin GPSMAP 76 Waterproof Handheld GPS -rrb- -rrb-
+794	GPS	POS	4	First of all , about the nmea output -- this unit do NOT output nmea . fugawus support the Garmin Protocol , which be what this use , so there still be software package to use , just not nmea protocol . second , this unit take advantage of auto-routing , so get MapSource CitySelect instead of metroguid . it be pretty much identical to MetroGuide -lrb- street , pous 's , etc. . . -rrb- except it include auto-routing information that be not include with metroguide . overall , it be a great unit for the price -- rugged and feature-full . I would recommend it !
+954	GPS	POS	4	my first Garmin NUVI 1450 be steal after a few month . I do not wait any time before buy another since I love the first one so much . I love the altitude feature for when I be travel to Colorado , hear direction from a female with a british accent , and appreciate the accuracy of the information -lrb- intersection , sign , distance , etc. -rrb- . for the price you can not go wrong .
+572	GPS	POS	4	the only reason this do not get five star be because it be not perfect , but it be very very good . when drive on some curvy back road in West Virginia it get a bit confused about the proper route and take I through a private neighborhood with only one exit , the way I come in . I be also search for a gas station while I be there and find that gas station it have list be no longer there and there be other that exist elsewhere . a little frustrating when the gas light have be on for a few minute . I have not experience any of these issue in Virginia , where I live . other than that , the detour button be helpful and have already save I a lot of frustration . I have also start be adventurous on my ride home from work let the gp recalculate the best route after each time I disobey its recommendation . additionally , you should purchase a 1 gig sd card to accompany the c320 because the new version 8 of the map software will fit all of the US and Canada on that one card . Perfect for cross country excursion ! I would recommend this to anyone want a high quality gp for a very low cost !
+260	GPS	POS	5	product arrive in timely fashion and be as describe . would do business again . my husband find the device easy to read while run which be of utmost importance because he do require reading glass for most thing of this nature . it be also very accurate ! great training device for runner .
+83	GPS	POS	4	when I purchase the iway 500 I wrongly think that it be the same as the i-way 350 only with a larger screen and more feature because it be the more expensive item . the screen size be excellent and its overall performance be very good . however it be too heavy and inconvenient to hold and bring back and forth from car to car and home . the fact that it do not have a battery also be inconvenient . the screen be bright and clear on both model . the auditory turn by turn direction with adjustable volume be also very good . another excellent feature be the automatic recalculate of direction should you choose to vary from the initially calculate route . in other word it accurately keep up with you give new direction from you most current position .
+426	GPS	POS	5	I buy the Garmin 7200 for the big 7 '' screen to use in we motor home . I do a lot of search and read forum before decide on this one . the text to speech be the greatest as it tell I to move to the right lane more than enough advance of the exit or turn , very important drive a motor home or any vehicle for that matter . if I make a wrong turn it direct I right back to the my route . my wife be the navigator and say it be the best addition to the motor home . she say it be a big stress reliever . we can go off the schedule route and get right back on in the shortest time without worry . the pous 's be wonderful , National Parks , gas station , store almost anything .
+304	GPS	POS	5	I have a Garmin Nuvi and my cable be break . get this as a replacement and it work just fine .
+791	GPS	NEG	2	the bezel be very frustrating . it either scroll for you or it do not and there be no reason why . sometimes when my finger be just near the edge it would change screen . I would have to push hard and the next time a feather light touch change the screen . the gp and hr monitor work great and the hr strap be comfortable . the amount of stuff it can do be amazing but I think you need to be a professional athlete to use it all . the Garmin training website be not very good and there be no direction on how to use it . I use it with mapmyrun.com and it download seamlessly . it also download fast with the Garmin training site but every time I want to stop it give I some Garmin error . I be a female and the watch be really uncomfortable and large . female , I do not recommend it at all . it rub on my wrist bone the entire run . I would try to readjust it and the stupid bezel would get touch and change screen . I think it would fit a man 's wrist quite well though . the battery charge go very fast . I do not get it past 65 % because I keep plug it in . go from screen to screen be a pain with so many feature . for a serious male athlete I would recommend it . pro : great for serious athlete compact and clean look for a man 's wrist lot of feature , interval , simple , advanced , hr zone 1-5 and 3 training plan hr strap comfortable and I never have a issue with a inaccurate rate sit , run or sweating backlight be very bright -lrb- although it would come on if my finger get too close to the bezel -rrb- con : Way too clunky for female wrist bezel be finicky at best , hard to control . impossible while run too many feature for a newer runner . just run my first 1\/2 marathon and even with all my training I do not want or need all those feature . the price be way too high when there be other watch that can do very similar function just as well .
+410	GPS	NEG	1	this and all of the TomTom product seem full of bug . with the 3 people I know that have different model we have all have problem . anything from break within day of buy it to just bad direction . you can be in a parking lot and this thing will make you leave the lot , take a left , drive in a complete u , and then take a right . do it all the time rather then just tell I to take a right out of the parking lot . TomTom be just junk as they be make in China and they act like it . try one of the other brand do not get stick like i do .
+425	GPS	POS	4	this be my third Garmin GPS product . I have be satisfy with my other product . I purchase the 1450lmt primarily for the larger screen and the `` advance '' notice capability of upcome lane shifts\/major hwy\/freeway interchange . this , I think would be a big help for I as a return rver , drive a class A rig this time , as I try to navigate major interchange in cities\/areas I be unfamiliar with . to test the efficieny of the new GPS , we take it on a recent trip -lrb- auto -rrb- in the local area where we do know the interchange . the experience leave I with one wish , `` that the system provide longer lead time before warning of the upcome lane shift . '' one notice be .9 mile away and another be .6 mile . in some area and under some traffic condition , this be not sufficient to be able to manuever a 35 foot rig , or even some normal size vehicle safely . this be not a `` complaint '' , just a observation . I be otherwise fully satisfy with the unit . I will add a map recon to my plan to supplement the GPS timing prior to head into the war zone with the GBOY .
+564	GPS	POS	5	my original Garmin 496 power adapter use in the aircraft fall apart at the connector . buy this as a replacement . Works great and actually connects\/disconnects easier than the original .
+130	GPS	POS	4	there be many thing I like about this unit -- it be very light and compact , and I find it easy to use . I find the base map surprisingly detailed -lrb- for my area -rrb- , and upload the detailed map from MapSend fill in all the tiny road . now the downer : - mapsend need some lovin ' . I can not just pick the ... baud rate I want ; it must `` discover '' it . interestingly , certain mismatch between what it be try and what the 330 be expect make MapSend crash . just let I pick a number , ... - mapsend do not try anything past 19,200 bp . the thing -lrb- supposedly -rrb- work at 115,200 . - still wait for street map of Europe . - it will not plot a -lrb- street -rrb- course for you . not a big deal for I , but if you primary usage be in a car in place you do not know , you 'll probably want one that draw the `` right turn here '' arrow and talk to you , etc. . . since I use it on the water and for hike the 330 's behavior be just fine -lrb- it can draw a straight line from you present position to any desire locale -rrb- .
+28	GPS	NEG	1	without turn by turn direction , this be far from useful . hold out for the price drop on the turn by turn gp system such as Magellan 750 .
+379	GPS	POS	4	the tomtom work as say and work better on army basis than the garmin c330 that my wife have and i buy this tomtom for the same amount that i would have pay for the map update that i be go to have to do to my old garmin c330 the tomtom also come with lifetime map and traffic which also save time on long trip when you be by big city 's
+306	GPS	POS	4	the GPS be fine and we be enjoy use it . but we pay for two day delivery to have it in plenty of time before we trip and it show up five day later , the evening before we be due to leave . pay ofr something and not get it be a little bothersome .
+987	GPS	POS	4	as a QC Inspector for the nation largest cable tv provider , I drive all over state , and it be great to have a gp that work . I be able to enter multiple address of location to visit , optimize the route and take care of business . the only two minor issue be : the first , I would like to have option of have the farthest job first from start point when optimize , versus the closest from start point . the second be when I re-route due to road construction or something similar , the unit take a few moment to respond so I be leave in limbo on the street . do not let these two minor issue sway you decision on not get this gp . the positive be : the screen be exceptionally good size to see while drive , the audio can be hear over radio , the map be update for lifetime via computer download from Magellan website , there be also a traffic alert button to advise of any possible issue ahead . all in all , I give this gp device 4 out of 5 star and would recommend to driver for work or pleasure .
+166	GPS	POS	5	buy this for my son , he love it . Easy to use and get it for a great price . I would definitely buy another one .
+527	GPS	NEG	2	I can not believe how much info these gpss know but do not tell you . this one at least tell elevation , but nothing else on it be good . menu be insanely confusing and traffic be useless . in fact , it send I to a road that be almost entirely close , and all the while claim no traffic problem . they say with Garmin that if you want it to do anything useful , you have to pay extra . soon , Google and the open internet will put a stop to this . the gp should give you access to everything it know . for comparison , I buy a 4 '' Tomtom GPS in 2011 on clearance for $ 47 , and it blow this Garmin away in term of usefulness . my advice be , stay away from Garmin . by the way , device be return to Amazon without a problem .
+406	GPS	NEU	3	Voice direction very hard to follow . verbal articulation be poor . System give forwarning , sometime too far in advance you need to know where you be go ahead of time so you do not get direct off onto another freeway when it say stay right .
+359	GPS	POS	5	the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM be great . the set-up be so easy the instruction be almost not necessary . the screen prompt be clear and easy to follow . the voice be pleasant and volume can be turn down or off , if prefer . it be easy to view the map and adjust they if necessary . you can check for restaurant , gas station , roadside service , etc. . the drive direction be perfectly accurate . highly recommend .
+38	GPS	POS	5	set it up for the 1st time be a pain because the instruction be vague . after three day of trial and error , finally get it to work the way I want it to . especially have a problem get it to show you walk speed in mph . only find that by accident . once it be up and run , be very impressed ! like it so much that I be buy one for my wife . especially like the Google map feature . at the start of the walk , it actually show the distance walk in foot until it switch to fraction of a mile . walk speed in mph be also extremely accurate . overall , the watch have far exceed my expectation ! : - -rrb-
+492	GPS	NEU	3	voice talk like person have marble in they mouth . many name and direction be hard to understand , could not pronounce ` county ' . some address and street could not be find . incorrectly call out road name . sometimes give wrong direction to turn . we feel that we have to have the appropriate map handy to make sure it be direct we correctly . difficult to enter some city\/road name -- after typing in a few of the letter a list would come up , if you name be not on the list , there be no way to override that list . we do not recommend this product , as we feel it be overhype .
+799	GPS	POS	5	I be concern this mount would not be very sturdy , or it would damage my CD slot , but I be pleasantly surprise . it be very sturdy and do not have any give at all . it fit easily in the CD slot and it do not seem to put a lot of stress on it . I also own the Arkon mount , which I be also very happy with . however , the face on this mount be quite a bit smaller than the Arkon version , so if you plan on have it in you car all the time , this one will probably look a little nicer . as other reviewer mention , it be kind of a pain to release the arm because the button be on top behind you phone , but you really should not be mess with it much unless you be stop , so it be not that big of a deal .
+765	GPS	NEG	2	i be disappointed , only larger screen and low price attract to buy , and of course exist brand name . signal strength poor , it take nearly one minute or more to get signal and occasionally lose singal in between . color scheme be also poor apart from four choice it also do not tell that you destination be on right side or left side . everytime fall from mount clip board . honestly i do not recommend .
+297	GPS	NEG	1	this be the first time I have ever write a review on any product , I be use my third Garmin 3790 LMT as the first two blank out within two week and I have only have this last replacement unit for one week . this be a very unreliable product and I do not believe Garmin have the technology to actually produce this unit to function dependably ; the concept be fine other than the ad that pop up and the traffic warning that be never actuate . I believe Garmin have good product , but this be not one of they . I rate this as a do not buy ! Trust what other be say and avoid this gp .
+238	GPS	POS	5	I be impress by the speed and efficiency in deliver my Garmin GPS ! when I get it I be thrill with all the feature it come with ! it be easy to use and I can record my datum in my pc for future adjustment . a real worth-buying !
+215	GPS	POS	4	I think my gp be toast . all it need be a new cord . the wire be a bit stiff but , it work perfectly . good product , prompt delivery , fair price .
+870	GPS	POS	4	we really like this other than we find out we can not enter in exact coordinate which have turn out to be a problem . you can get coordinate for almost every place but we can not enter they in on this device which be a problem live here in Germany when you want to go to Spain or France etc. . I can get the coordinate to site we want to visit on google but it be not so easy to get a address and even when you do they very so much by country it be hard to get to the location .
+342	GPS	POS	5	I didnt buy this through Amazon , but Radio Shack ... and I have gotta say awesome product for a great price . I didnt want or need the bell and whistle of other gp 's , but with the 1300 , it come with the basics and even for someone who be not tech savy , I have no problem with turn it on and figure out all the basics like how to set the home address , speech\/text language you want , and how to navigate with it . it take less then a minuet for the gp to figure out my position and even when I type in a address 1500 mile away , in 20 seconds I have it ready to lead I out of town and ready to go -lrb- which I personally think be great see as how I live in the middle of no where ... ya know , where high speed internet isnt offer in my area and if you want anything other then pb you have to get satellite -rrb- . if you want something that be easy to figure out , basic , and not to big then this be for you . I have a hard time imagine size and how something would look on my dash , anything bigger than this in my cherokee and it would have be to big and I would have have a hard time find a spot for it . the suction cup work great , take I a second to get it to stick but the assembly of the base\/mount be easy to figure out . my only complaint be you have to actually push the screen , not just touch it ... not like jam you finger on it , but it do take a small amount of pressure , but if you driving and you have to reroute , its better that way so it wont just jump to another screen because you brush it with you hand .
+680	GPS	POS	5	great product , it be not overload , with ton of feature that you need to navigate to to fid what you need and the operation be very user friendly
+256	GPS	POS	5	this unit do everything Garmin say it will do and do it flawlessly . battery draw down time be very exceptable even in cold weather . we have get it soaked with snow and ice . the first day we have it I hide twelve gift in deep wood in a twenty acre area . I set waypoint for each gift and erase my track . even in fast fall , blow , and drift snow my kid where able to navigate to all twelve gift within a hour . what a blast . I strongly recommend add Garmins Mapsource City Navigator for on road adventure . the unit give extremely accurate on road direction -lrb- in print-no voice -rrb- and seem very up to date at least for we area in Wisconsin . I also purchase the optional external antenne for my vehicle , which be perfect . the unit even receive well next to a window without the external antenne , at least in fairly open area . even in severe weather and cloud cover it seem accurate within about twelve foot . I really can not say enough good about this gp . it be slightly more expensive than some of the lesser unit , but WELL worth the cost .
+124	GPS	POS	5	the roocase be a easy fit for my Garmin Nuvi 1450 , and provide the protection I need for gp storage without be bulky . construction be great , with smooth stitch and a quality feel to the operation of the zipper . not sure what I will use the front pocket for , but it be nice to have and add some flair to the design .
