Garmin nuvi 1350 is great value and well worth what I paid. Great display, very clear. I have downloaded a city navigation map for Hawaii because of our up and coming vacation. I tried it in simulation mode and it looks really good. It tells me were to walk to catch the bus, when the bus will arrive and what bus number to get on. It also lets me know the last bus is running (good to know if you don't want to be stranded).

Garmin Nuvi 200 review

The Garmin Nuvi 200 series has started to hit store shelves, and we’ve finally put enough miles on our Nuvi 200 to produce a comprehensive review. As the name implies, the Nuvi 200 series is designed to set a new mark for the entry level Nuvi series. Many have speculated that this new series will be a replacement for the StreetPilot “c” series. Here is what we think of the Nuvi 200, and where it fits into the bigger picture of auto GPS devices.

Garmin Nuvi 465T GPS For Truckers

Garmin (NASDAQ: GRMN) is taking the wraps off a new GPS for truckers, the Garmin Nuvi 465t. A GPS for long haul truckers has long been a wish list item for many of our readers. Other companies have tried building such a GPS in the past, and have failed. In the world of street GPS systems, Garmin is rarely the first to come out with a new feature– but when they do they almost always nail it. Perhaps that too will be the case with this GPS for commercial vehicles.
What will make or break a GPS for truckers is the data. You need to know more things about the road such as lane widths, bridge heights, and load restrictions. The Nuvi 465T allows the owner to build multiple “profiles” for multiple vehicles and then create routes which obey the appropriate restrictions. This Nuvi also includes locations from the National Truck and Trailer Services Breakdown Directory for truck towing and repair needs.
In addition, many more traditional navigation features are included like traffic, lane assitance, multi-destination routing with route optimization, text-to-speech, a widescreen display, and Bluetooth.

Garmin Nuvi 250

Garmin has announced the Nuvi 250 which is in the middle of the entry level Nuvi 200 series. The Nuvi 250 is designed to be an extremely simple device, without many of the advanced options many people never use. I often get feedback from readers that a particular device would be a good match for them, but the price was a little high and they felt like they were paying for features they really didn’t need. The Garmin Nuvi 250 might be a perfect fit for them.

One of the changes for the Nuvi 200 series is that the flip-up antenna is apparently gone, replaced by an internal antenna. I’ve never been a fan for the flip-up antenna design so this is a welcome change.
Many of the PDA features in the rest of the Nuvi lineup have remained in the Nuvi 250 such as the world clock, calculator, unit converter, and the picture viewer. You can also load up Garmin’s additional paid content such as the Savers Guide and Travel Guide products.

The Nuvi 250 is designed to be an extremely simple device, without many of the advanced options many people never use.

The Garmin Nuvi 250 comes with a 3.5″ display, which is the standard among the entry level GPS devices, but still provides enough of a screen to ensure ease of navigation. There is an SD card slot for loading additional products and maps.
So, no Bluetooth, no traffic, no MP3 player, no FM transmitter, no widescreen display. However most people can probably get by just fine without those features. However there is something else that you might just want that is missing, text-to-speech. You will need to move up to the 300 or 600 series Nuvi to get that feature. If Garmin had included text-to-speech with the 250, this device would be untouchable in the entry level category, but it would have also likely cannibalized sales for the still popular 300 series. And most people will get by just fine without text-to-speech.
The separation between the Nuvi 200 series devices all comes down to maps. The 200 has just the continental contiguous USA plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico. With this model, the 250, you get North America. And if you are a more worldly traveler you might want to check out the 270 which comes with maps of North America plus Europe.
So what features are you missing out on that other, more expensive devices have? If Bluetooth hands free calling, traffic receivers, text-to-speech, or music players are of interest, you might want to move up the line from the Nuvi 200 series. However if those features are not something you would utilize and you need maps covering North America (beyond the US 48 and Hawaii), this device could be a perfect mix of the features you want without paying for features you may never use.

Garmin Astro 220

he Garmin Astro is a unique product which gives you the ability to track your dog by GPS while hunting. The Astro resembles many of the other Garmin handheld devices but with the addition of a second antenna. In fact, it is really just a modification of the 60CSx. There is a secondary transmitter known as the DC-20 which is attached to your dog. Your dog’s position is then relayed to the Astro so you can see your dog’s position on the Garmin Astro screen.

Position reports come every five seconds and you can view a trace of where your dog has been on the Astro. The “Dog Tracker” will also give a compass heading and speed indication for your dog. Alarms can also be set to indicate when your dog is on point.
The DC20 transmitter can be attached via a neoprene harness strapped to the collar, or threaded to an existing one inch collar. The Garmin Astro battery should last about 20 hours and the collar will hold a charge for about 17 hours.
Have lots of dogs? Not to worry, the Astro can track up to five different DC 20 devices and thus five dogs. The range is about five miles in a best case scenario. The Garmin Astro also has the ability to set waypoints for where you found your prey and timestamps with a date, time, altitude, and location.
