The Garmin Nuvi 255w hits the sweet spot of functionality and price for many users. Combining affordability with features typically reserved for more advanced products such as Text-To-Speech and a widescreen. Want to take it even further? 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. With over six million Points of Interest your destination should be easily within reach.

Description:

Perfect for people like sales reps, or just anyone who needs to visit a number of locations in one day. The Garmin Nuvi 760 offers a feature seldom seen in other GPS devices, the ability to take a list of destinations and figure out the most efficient order to visit them all.Other handy features include Bluetooth hands free calling, the ability to send audio from the GPS to your cars radio, as well as the ability receive live traffic updates through the traffic subscription service. If those sound like features you might need, the Nuvi 760 has become a benchmark other GPS devices will be compared to.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

Likely to be the least expensive TomTom model with a widescreen display and Text-to-Speech, the ONE XL-S still has many features that are only available on more top of the line models from other companies. For example this TomTom supports multi-destination routing so you can create one single route with multiple stops in the trip. The XL series is also compatible with optional traffic services which feed live traffic updates to the GPS.One of the few drawbacks to this model is that the processor speed isnt quite as good as other models. Routing and rerouting if you miss a turn are still fast, but some address searches, POI searches, and menu functions seem a little more sluggish than other models. This shouldnt delay you more than a few seconds however and the TomTom ONE XL-S offers one of the best values for GPS devices featuring a widescreen display.

Confused about all of the options when it comes to GPS? Just want a GPS that gets you from point A to B with no fuss? The Garmin Nuvi 250 might be your next best friend. No MP3 player, no live traffic reporting, no multi-segment routing, notext-to-speech (but it does have voice prompts), no widescreen. But that is part of the appeal of this ultra simple to operate GPS.The Nuvi 250 does one thing, and does it very well-- gets you to your destination with little fuss or distraction. But dont let the simplicity fool you. This basic Nuvi includes six million Points of Interest, has a longer battery life than competitive models, and Garmins interface is known for ease of use. If you wont be traveling outside of the contiguous US States, consider the Nuvi 200 to save even more. And if youre looking for a few more features, check out the TomTom 130. But if your looking for a quality GPS without the fluff, find your way to the Nuvi 250.

Description:

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.

Description:

Considered by many to be a diamond in the rough, the XL 330s from TomTom is a perfect start for people who dont know exactly how they might use their GPS. 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. The EasyPort (tm) mount makes this GPS easy to carry or transport between vehicles.

Description:

The Nuvi 360 is no longer in production so there is a danger that if you purchase the GPS now, it could come with an older map. This model also comes with an older flip up style antenna which is slightly less convenient. It still remains a very popular model however, and if you are not concerned with updated roads, the Nuvi 360 could be a great bargain.This Nuvi will speak street names in addition to standard voice prompts (text-to-speech). The mount is still one of the best designs in the industry where the power cord plugs into the mount which makes connecting and disconnecting the GPS to the mount easier. Bluetooth hands free calling also became available on this early Nuvi.

Sometimes simple is better, and for that there is the Garmin Nuvi 255. Text-to-Speech used to be reserved for more full featured GPS devices, but now we start to see it on entry level devices like the 255. While it does not have a widescreen, the smaller size makes it easier to slip into a pocket or purse.Despite the small package and price, the Nuvi 255 can be connected to live traffic systems with an optional traffic receiver. If you only need maps of the USA, consider the Nuvi 205 instead which has the same features but doesnt include map coverage of Canada when sold in the USA.

Head off on your next camping trip or orienteering venture with this portable WAAS-enabled GPS receiver that features preloaded base maps of the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Latin America and South America and customizable points of interest for easy navigation.

Description:

Wouldnt it be nice if there was GPS that recorded the actual amount of time it takes drivers to travel over each road segment, and then used that data to calculate estimated travel times? Enter the TomTom 730. Using anonymous data from other TomTom users, routes and estimated travel times are now based in part on data from other drivers with TomTom devices. In many areas the data (dubbed IQ routes) makes a huge difference in route quality and time estimates over previous TomTom models.Another new feature is Active Lane Guidance which can help you determine not only which direction an exit leaves the highway, but also which lane you need to be in to take that exit. People who live on the Interstate will appreciate the feature, however right now that data is only sparsely available. An optional traffic receiver can also add to the intelligence of this super smart GPS.
