Started running about 3 months to try to loose 8 lbs. Like outdoor running/jogging. Garmin Forerunner seems fancy, but Inot sure if GPS is needed. The Timex watch is too slient, sometimes can’t hear the beep for interval training. I don’t like the HRM strape. But, I heard strapeless HRM is not accurate. Ipod is great partner, but don’t do HRM. Don’t like to carry so many things during running. Any suggestions?
I am 18 years old and going to college very far away, I am not very familiar with the area, do you think i should purchase one? If so which one is the best to get? I don’t want to spend more than $350
I like the Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
This is the first GPS I’ve owned or used, so I’m not speaking from experience. It worked GREAT on our trip from Vermont to HHI, South Carolina. The directions and POI’s served us very well. The screen helps folks in the back seat see what’s up. The AAA references work great, too. It generally responds well to our verbal commands. Two points on that, though: follow the directions (speak softly); and I wish you could program it to respond to custom commands.
The only reason I took one star away was because of the Bluetooth. It actually works with my PDA (Audiovox VX660), even though it’s not listed. Many phones aren’t listed. But the volume isn’t sufficient at highway speeds (even in a very quite Audi A6) and the connection between the phone and the GPS/Bluetooth has to be re-established every time you turn the unit back on, which is pretty lame. But otherwise, I recommend this unit to others.
If you mean this commercial:http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=16aUPT9LEm…
The French song was written for the commercial.
You can download it at Garmin’s site. http://www8.garmin.com/gameday/
looks like the best price is around $170..sound right?
Including information like which Garmin you have (there are several dozen), what kind of maps you want (water nav, topo, driving directions) and where you are would improve the odds of getting a good answer.
Generically, the answer is “Garmin Mapsource”; the precise edition (”Inland Marine”, “Topo”, “City Navigator North America NT”, etc.) will depend on what you’re looking for..
Kingston and SanDisk make solid, dependable flash memory cards. I would go with one of them.
I’ve just started screwing around with this thing, and I am now realizing that I am confused. Anyone have any good tips for where I can figure out how best to use this? Books, websites, etc? Also, which maps would be best for me to download? I am wanting to use this for navigation in my day to day life, and to explore the mountains in my Jeep and go camping, hiking, etc. Thanks!
There is a new garmin commercial where the driver is a young man and the garmin tells him there is traffic and to exit the freeway. he also comments about the device findign a golf course near the convention. There is a love song played. as it zooms into the device. What is the song. I know i’ve heard it but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.
