I’m Looking At Gps And Trying To Decide If I Should Get Tomtom One Or Garmin 350?
Anyone can tell me if updating maps are free for both of the gps? This will be my first gps so don’t want to waste my money. Thanks
which one has better points of interests, and which one has a better satellite system (so it would work well in areas like nyc)
i’m thinking of getting a garmin legend. they’re sold at walmart right now for like 90$. the hcx is 190. i’m a geology student who wants to be able to upload points and polygons into GIS software. is it worth spending the extra money?
When I told costco that it contained the wrong model, they accused me of doing that. They won’t take it back, so what should I do? I want to return it and get the model I wanted.
I am looking to buy a brand new Garmin Nuvi 260 GPS for $208. I have done a lot of research comparing different models and i believe this is the best one to fit my needs for the price! Does anybody have any experience with this GPS system and any comments or suggestions about this product? Thanks!
The traffic receiver works either on a FM broadcast or XM nav traffic depending on service and unit. This will broadcast traffic delays and the unit will give an optional route to avoid the traffic. You could look at this a few ways
1) providing you are in a major city it works great
2) If you have the unit anyway and you know either from radio broadcasts or by looking online that there is traffic in a particular highway and you get off the current route, the unit will always recalculate and get back on route.
I do not use the traffic systems.
Was checking out a couple of reviews on GPS devices. Came across this one: http://thefrugalone.com/saving-money/garmin-nvi-255w-4-3-inch-widescreen-portable-gps-navigator/
I’m planning on buying this as the reviews from folks have been good and this site says this is one of Amazon’s top sellers in the GPS category.
Your thoughts?
Charge it using the accompanying wall charger. You can start it up while its charging; most manufaturers suggest giving it a full charge before start up; its advisable to to do so because this ensures the batter has a long life.
If you are too eager to start it up – go ahead… but do give it one full good 5 to 6 hour charge the first time.
