I have one and I truly would be “LOST” without it. It’s easy to use and it has good features.

Do You Think Google Maps Navigation Could Seriously Destroy Garmin, Tomtom And The Rest?

No. Only a small subset of cell phone users will be able to use that app. First you need a smartphone, which usually has an expensive data package. A lot of people are happy with their “dumbphone” and don’t want to pay for a data plan. Second, the smartphone has to be running Android 2.0 OS. Android phones simply haven’t taken off and even with the new phones and new OS, I don’t think Android will be widespread. Even if the app is ported to the iPhone OS, there will still be a lot of people out there who won’t have a phone that can run the Google navigation app. I don’t think people will change phones and plans just to use the Google app. They’ll just keep using their old phone and buy a regular GPS navigation device.
Then there are the issues of battery life and processing power of the phone, screen size, user interface, handling navigation and phone calls at the same time, and having a data signal when in rural areas.
Yes, many people will adopt the Google navigation app, but there are many reasons people will stick with the traditional GPS device.

Taken Up Running And I Am Considering A Garmin Forerunner 305. What Do You Think?

I have one and like it.
I assume you have looked at GPS and similar systems, but basically there are 2 advanced systems you can buy that are useful as you run – ones that give you speed and distance as you go. These are the GPS systems – mostly by Garmin or Timex, or clever pedometers mostly by Nike+ but also Samsung phones.
In my mind the GPS systems are better. They are more accurate, don’t need any calibration and can be used for several sports. The downside is that they can loose the gps signal sometimes.
The Pedometer systems can only work for running but don’t loose a gps signal. The Nike+ systems requires you to use the special Nike trainers which might not be the best suited for your feet and running style.
So my preference is the GPS and preferred the Garmin version which comes as an all in one watch unit. The Timex version has a watch and separate GPS receiver that you wear on your upper arm or waist. So yes, its a good choice.

Serious Answers Only Please! What Do You Think About Garmin Nuvi 205 Gps?

I am thinking about getting a GPS and I am looking into Garmin’s nuvi collections. 205 seems to have a reasonable price for what it does but I am not sure if I should upgrade and get a better and more expensive one. Any experience with this product? Any suggestions?
