The Nuvi 255w is also compatible with optional live traffic reporting.A common complaint is the slightly underpowered speaker, however as long as you are not trying to listen to loud music and the GPS simultaneously, it shouldnt impact most users.

Garmin Nuvi 265WT Auto / Road GPS Navigation with Traffic
Want (almost) all of the functions of a top of the line GPS at a middle of the road price? The Garmin Nuvi 265WT might be your dream GPS. Perhaps the biggest reason to consider the 265WT is the included lifetime traffic reporting system. While supported by occasional advertisements, the ads are fairly infrequent and unobtrusive.You will also find a widescreen display, Text-to-Speech, and Bluetooth technology for hands-free calling. About the only advanced feature not included is multi-destination routing-- but if you can live without that, this is a great GPS and a fantastic value when considering the lifetime traffic subscription.

Garmin Nuvi 260 Auto / Road GPS
One of the least expensive GPS devices with text-to-speech (it can speak street names in addition to typical voice prompts) the Nuvi 260 is essentially a replacement for the highly acclaimed Nuvi 350. With a slimmer profile and an integrated antenna, the 260 is highly portable yet still comes with a good set of features.Other improvements over more basic models include maps of the USA and Canada pre-installed. Despite the compact size the speaker is loud, although the voice quality suffers a little bit at the highest volume levels. But that shouldnt impact most people from checking out one of the most popular models around.
My GPS is compact, and easy to use. I tried different situations and it gets me where I want to go. My wife gets mad because I don't like to stop and ask for directions. Now I don't have to with my GPS.

Garmin Nuvi 765T Auto / Road GPS
How often do you find yourself wondering which lane you should be in? Lane Assistance is one of the new features found on the Nuvi 765T which will provide the answer to that question on some major intersections-- just dont expect it everywhere. Another new feature is 3D representations of some buildings in the largest cities. Something fun to have, but typically not a huge asset to navigation.Still, the Nuvi 765T packs many upper-end navigation features such as route optimization, Text-to-Speech for street names, life traffic reporting, and Bluetooth hands free calling. Some people however might find the slightly older Nuvi 760 a better bargain.
Garmin Nuvi 755T Auto / Road GPS
Looking good on paper, the Garmin Nuvi 755T is an almost fully loaded GPS with a widescreen, multi-destination routing, FM Transmitter, an included traffic receiver and lifetime traffic subscription, and can even optimize the order of a long list of stops. You dont get Bluetooth like that found on the Nuvi 765T, but most people can live without that feature.However under the hood the 755T feels a bit underpowered and often doesnt give you quite enough warning of turns ahead. The older Nuvi 750 or the similarly equipped Nuvi 265WT might be a better option.
Garmin Nuvi 780 Auto / Road GPS
Despite being superseded by the Nuvi 785, the 780 is still a top performing GPS that can now be found at bargain prices. When compared with the legendary Nuvi 760, the only difference is that the 780 includes MSN Direct services for live traffic reporting and data services like weather.But here is a tip, you can sometimes find the Nuvi 760 and the GDB 50 traffic receiver as separate purchases for less than the cost of the 780. The Nuvi 760 plus the GDB 50 receiver will be identical to the 780.
For the money the best GPS I have ever owned and I have had a few, ease of use, cost ,value, proformance,it has it all. Its accuracy is fantastic, it is very portable and light weight. I just can't say enough about this GPS, it is well worth the money.

While still fairly easy to operate, the TomTom XL330s includes many top-end features such as multi-destination routing, Text-to-Speech, and a widescreen display.With a tremendously loud speaker, this TomTom is a good match for people who dont want to part with louder music or have a noisy vehicle.

I liked the ease of the user interface; it wasn't difficult at all to master. The map screen needed a lot of improvement. The fact that it got street names wrong that were more than a few decades old, said addresses were on the opposite side of the street that they were actually on and went into voice-recognition mode completely unprompted forced me to send it back.

Garmin Nuvi 750 Auto / Road GPS
Looking for a GPS with lots of navigation features, but without features you might never use like Bluetooth? The 750 might be a great option. The highlight of the Nuvi 750 is multi-destination routing. If you have a complex route to follow or multiple stops to make simply enter the locations into the 750 and it will optimize the order of the stops creating the most efficient route.While the 750 is compatible with live traffic reporting it does not come with a traffic receiver like many of the other 700 series Nuvi devices do. However if you decide later you want that function, the option is available.

TomTom GO 720 Auto / Road GPS
Part serious navigation system, part fun entertainment, the TomTom 720 is a GPS you can personalize to match your style. Dont like the default voices? Record your own or record your kids our spouses. Dont like the map colors? Switch between many of the color schemes available. Want to change the blue wedge that represents you on the map? Change to a different vehicle icon or build your own.But dont take all of the fun to mean this isnt a serious navigation system. The 720 can plan a trip with several destinations all wrapped up in one route, it can be connected to an optional traffic receiver that gets live traffic updates, and if you come across an error in the mapping database you can make map corrections and share those changes with other TomTom users.

Garmin Nuvi 260W Auto / Road GPS
Two of the most popular features in auto GPS devices are present in this simple to operate GPS. Text to speech enables the GPS to not only tell you the direction and distance to the turn, but will also speak the name of the street. A vivid widescreen display makes many of the menu buttons a little bit bigger (easier to tap) and will provide you with a little bit wider view of the next turn.While it doesnt have some of the fancy features of its siblings like multi-destination routing, optional traffic services, or Bluetooth, the Nuvi 260w still includes many of the must have features people are looking for today at an easy on the wallet price. Dont need text-to-speech? Check out the similar Nuvi 250 instead.
It is easy to use ,and if you miss a turn it "recalculates" automatically. There is plenty of notice as to upcoming turns, plus reminders.
Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Handheld / Trail GPS
If there ever was a gold standard for handheld GPS devices, the GPSMAP 60CSx from Garmin would likely be that device. Despite being a couple of years old, when new models are released they are still compared to the 60CSx. With a bright and vivid screen (albeit smaller than newer models), a GPS chipset that is incredibly strong and accurate, and easy to use buttons the 60CSx deserves its mighty reputation.This model also features and electronic compass so you dont need to be moving in order for it to determine your heading. Along with that is a barometric altimeter which helps increase the accuracy of the elevation reading and can provide important clues regarding weather changes. If you are totally lost looking for a decent, reliable handheld GPS-- the 60CSx is a safe bet.
I have been using the Garmin 60CSx for a while now. I use it mostly while hunting in the wilderness. The interface is quite intuitive and the keys are large enough to use with gloves on. The unit is rugged, water resistant, and has rubberized gripping

Garmin Nuvi 205W Auto / Road GPS
Sometimes simple is better, and for that there is the Garmin Nuvi 205w. The Nuvi 205w does include voice prompts, but does not include the coveted Text-to-Speech feature to speak street names. The Nuvi 205w is also the Nuvi that comes with a widescreen and is easiest on the wallet.Despite the small price, the Nuvi 205w can be connected to live traffic systems with an optional traffic receiver. If you need maps of Canada, consider the Nuvi 255w instead as the 205w sold in the USA contains only maps of the contiguous United States.

TomTom ONE 3rd Edition Auto / Road GPS
It can be hard to match the bang for your buck you get with the TomTom ONE 3rd Edition. Even on this entry level model you get TomToms MapShare feature-- one of the biggest innovations in GPS technologies recently. Find an error on the map? Correct or report it though MapShare and download changes from other users. Thinking you might want to connect a live traffic reporting receiver someday? An optional accessory is available to add live traffic information.The small size and small cost might make you think about carrying this GPS along while walking in a city-- but be careful as the battery life isnt quite as good as other models in this class and there is no hold switch to prevent accidental touch screen input, both features found on the similar Garmin Nuvi 200. Still, with MapShare, a Help Me! menu, and maps of the USA Canada, the ONE 3rd Edition is a great pick for a first auto GPS.
Easy to use. If shortest way, will route correctly including gravel roads. Easy to program. Estimated time of arrival has been within a minute. Speed is acturate. Clear screen easy to read. Can find place by corridents as will as street address.
Sounds like a good deal, but do your homework. This model only announces turns, not street names. Must download updated maps and daily!!!GPS-FIXes. USA Points of interest is terribly outdated and hard to select using POI touch screen menu, sends me to th
