GPS Units What You Need To Know Before You Buy

Great gps deals Info

Posted by gps_units on February 14, 2010

The Good:
- Everything you’d expect from a Garmin, good interface and fairly intuitive.
- Was wary about the loss of external antenna when Garmin went from the 6xx series to the 7xx. But I have never lost satellite lock, not even inside my house while programming it.
- Plenty of POIs, great for finding a familiar restaurant or store when working on the road.
- Seems to learn your usual driving speed over time and calculates destination times accordingly.
- Built in speaker is more than adequate
- Customer service (see below)

The Bad:
- FM Transmitter is weak.
- Be sure to check its planned route first before leaving, like anything that generates directions it can throw you a curve once in a while. This is the exception.
- Check Garmin’s online maps before updating your unit. Their map supplier missed a fairly large new bypass that opened a couple years ago that still wasn’t in the 2009 update. Their cartography department was quick to reply when I inquired about it though. (It will be there in the 2010 update).

Works great. I would have given it five stars if it included the map guarantee.

This little GPS will never get you lost. I use it more than I ever expected too. Don’t need to read a map anymore with this thing. Highly recommend this to any one that travels or just wants to find a reasturant or any points of interest.

navigation system Free helpful Fact

Posted by gps_units on October 21, 2009

It is a good product, but just a little expensive.

And there is a small place that is not so convenient, when I chose a destination to go and I move the map to see how it goes. It just choose another destination for me and direct me to the new address. Hope Garmin could improve their design and not let their custom change their destination so easily and unconsciously.

Our Free Guide To portable gps system

Posted by gps_units on September 13, 2009

The nuvi 255W works fine. Functionally the only slight problem is that on my unit I have to press pretty hard on the screen if I want to ‘drag’ the map. I don’t know if that’s typical or just my unit, I still rate it 5 stars.

But the most important note I have to share with people has to do with purchasing extra maps for the unit.

Since we will be travelling in the UK, I purchased the UK map for $100. You have your choice to download the map, or have it shipped on an SD card. Not thinking there was any difference I figured I’d get it quicker and save a few bucks by downloading the map. It then occurred to me that in the future I might want to upgrade the unit, and would want to keep using the extra maps I’d purchased on a different nuvi. I emailed tech support and asked if it would be possible to ‘de-activate’ the map on my current unit and then ‘activate’ it to work with a different unit. Here is the reply I got from tech support and I have to say I’m not happy, as it turns out there is a huge difference between the purchased SD card and the downloaded data. This should be explained on the website, and as far as I can see this is not documented anywhere on Garmin’s site. If it is, it sure isn’t obvious.

Here’s the email:

Dear xxx,
Thank you for contacting Garmin International. It depends on the format that you get those maps in. If you get them on a DVD or direct download, they will be locked to the device and there would not be a way to transfer them over to the new unit. However, if you got the maps on a preloaded SD card, you can put that card in any unit you want and the maps will work, since the unlock code is embedded in the card itself and is not dedicated to any specific unit.
With Best Regards,
Robert O

So my advice to anyone purchasing extra maps is to make sure you get the SD card if you want to use the data with a different unit!

Auto Gps Free Assistive Hint

Posted by gps_units on September 11, 2009

I have owned this GPS System for 6 months. I have to say this is a great GPS System. With Mapshare, I don’t find a need to order a new map. Our roads have been changing, and new subdivisions have been built within the past 6 months, and it has been able to give me an exact address without fail. Recently, due to highway construction, there was a left exit (vs. the normal right exit ramp), It opened 3 weeks ago, and TomTom picked up on it after I updated it.

I update my Satellite location Weekly (or whenever I get to it), so it does require maintenance, but due to satellites moving constantly (and the earth moving), it finds the satellite within seconds of turning it on. I actually found signal in the middle of the Georgia Aquarium’s Parking Garage.

I love this GPS. I marked it down a star because it does require lots of maintenance, but it is worth it (and is free!)

GPS Deal Free Interrelated Guide

Posted by gps_units on August 28, 2009

I purchased this Garmin as a replacement for my 660 which died an early death.
I purchased a nuvi again because I had become used to the first one and it did
work well for the 2 and a half years before it started asking me if we were in Kansas!!
No, we were in VA.
This one is pretty much the same as the other. However it does have a speed limit box which gives you the limit of the road on which you are driving. It also has a place you can press to give you
your current location immediately and the location of the closest Hospital, Fuel etc. Both of these
features are very helpful.
I find that I have to press the screen a little harder than on the Nuvi 660 which can be
annoying and I also find that the letters for spelling out the address are a little smaller
leading to more redoing.
I would recommend this very simple and relatively inexpensive nuvi to anyone who needs to know BOTH where they are AND how to get someplace. Some of the less expensive ones are really only good at telling you how to get someplace. I personally need both. Because you can press on the screen and
move the map around you can better explore your current location.
I believe this model may be discontinued but the price was good and the product very acceptable.
