Garmin's line on the device is that, "the nüvi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B – reliably, efficiently, and with style." As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets  you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6356264480703044153-2068870469689173998?l=best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com/feeds/2068870469689173998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6356264480703044153&amp;postID=2068870469689173998' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6356264480703044153/posts/default/2068870469689173998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6356264480703044153/posts/default/2068870469689173998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com/2008/08/garmin-nvi-260w-43-inch-widescreen.html' title='Garmin nüvi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator'/><author><name>c.seo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02340579494405591491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_E_tECW2vA04/SKvzJYoUliI/AAAAAAAAAws/sOK9A_bbxWo/s72-c/gps.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356264480703044153.post-7924438988671047328</id><published>2008-08-06T22:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-06T22:13:20.581-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Garmin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Garmin Oregon 400i'/><title type='text'>Garmin Oregon 400i 3'' Touchscreen Handheld GPS Unit with U.S. Inland Lakes and a Worldwide Basemap</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E_tECW2vA04/SJqDxs05FcI/AAAAAAAAAwk/AdOb0rW9LgE/s1600-h/gps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E_tECW2vA04/SJqDxs05FcI/AAAAAAAAAwk/AdOb0rW9LgE/s400/gps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231638807014086082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGarmin-Touchscreen-Handheld-Worldwide-Basemap%2Fdp%2FB001B15SC2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26m%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26s%3Delectronics%26pf%5Frd%5Fp%3D417028001%26pf%5Frd%5Fs%3Dcenter-2%26pf%5Frd%5Ft%3D1401%26pf%5Frd%5Fi%3D1000253121%26pf%5Frd%5Fm%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf%5Frd%5Fr%3D19PVCZEAQG8V1TRECC7B&amp;amp;tag=golcludischeg-20&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;

The chart detail includes shoreline, depth contours, navaids and port plans. It also offers a high-resolution, color 3-inch touchscreen that reacts as you tap or drag through menus and options. With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, Oregon 400i locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. It's also equipped with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass, and it's compatible with Garmin's heart-rate monitors and speed/cadence sensors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/GPS/Garmin_Oregon/garmin_oregon_400i_unit.jpg" width="200" align="top" border="0" height="314" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Oregon 400i lets you customize five profiles--automotive, marine, recreation, fitness or geocaching--making the most beneficial features for each activity the easiest to access through quick shortcuts. The tough, 3-inch color touchscreen display is easy to read even in direct sunlight, and the Oregon's easy-to-use interface means you'll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It also plays well with others, allowing for wireless exchange of tracks, waypoints and geocaches between other Oregon units and Garmin Colorado models. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This unit has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD memory cards for all your outdoor activities on land or water. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. Just insert an optional Garmin MapSource card with detailed street maps, and the Oregon provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Add optional topographic maps to take advantage of the Oregon's 3D map view which gives you a better perspective of your elevation. And with optional BlueChart g2 Vision maps, you'll get everything you need for a great day on the water including depth contours, navaids and harbors. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Garmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. Geocaching is even easier with the Oregon, which quickly downloads online information for every cache, such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description, so that you don't have to tote printouts with you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="width: 571px;

Like its smaller sibling, the 250W comes with preloaded maps for the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada and Alaska. If all you don't need Canada and Alaska, you can get the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QUZV9O"&gt;nüvi 200W&lt;/a&gt; at a lower pirce.  If you want maps for Europe, you'll need to go with the smaller &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OH26OM"&gt;nüvi 270&lt;/a&gt;, or you can purchase a set of European maps on &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BS6RDU"&gt;SD Card&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00012O7NS"&gt;CD-Rom&lt;/a&gt;. While it doesn't have some of the more sophisticated features of higher-end nüvis, it does, like all nüvi 200-series members, offer a rock-solid navigation experience with an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen, 6 million points of interest (POI)s, and an ultra-slim design. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;See More of What's Around&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Smart, Powerful Design&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 250W is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Navigate with Ease&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nüvi 250W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="width: 100%;" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="height: 100%; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Garmin's own navigation is easy to use" style="border: 1px solid ; width: 472px; height: 243px;" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/B000REECKS-nav.gif" align="top" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="width: 163px; height: 211px;" align="right" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align: top;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000NW0Y9W-2-lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="Custom vehicle icons" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin-custom-vehicles.jpg" style="border: 1px solid ; width: 146px; height: 110px;" align="top" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style, at least inside your GPS. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin-icon-options.jpg"&gt;See more icon options.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beyond Navigation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 250W features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards for our line of Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nüvi 250W, preloaded City Navigator NT for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Canada, vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and set up and go guide. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GARMIN Nuvi 250W Bilingual Auto Navigation System.

As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 760 and  770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-760-Portable-Automobile-Navigator/dp/B000UX9YJ0/ref=pd_ts_zbw_e_172526_4_i?pf_rd_p=310036301&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=right-6&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=172526&amp;amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=1BXEP6H4YYD40T475FSZ#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Features -- Multi-Destination Routing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;See Better, See More&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Rate Map Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;All nüvi 700s come preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;b"&gt;&lt;/b"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands-Free Calling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 320px; height: 234px;" alt="3-inch screen" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/3inch-screen-320.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 424px; height: 247px;" alt="4.3-inch screen" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/widescreen-480.gif" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Integrated FM Traffic Receiver&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device.

That device is here, and it's not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-3-5-Inch-Portable-Navigator-Speech/dp/B000BKJZ9Q/ref=pd_ts_zbw_e_172526_1_i?pf_rd_p=310036301&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=right-6&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=172526&amp;amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=0A84F1GC7XAV706HM4ZA#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table width="250" align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi/demo.html" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=440,height=270'); return false;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000BKJZ9Q-1.jpg" border="1" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The nüvi 350 is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. &lt;a href="javascript:window.open(%22http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi/demo.html%22,%22%22,%20%22toolbar=no,height=270,width=440%22);void(0);"&gt;View product demo (requires Flash)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table width="200" align="right" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-2-lg.jpg"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-3-lg.jpg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-3-sm.jpg" align="top" border="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;A simple touchscreen interface and voice guidance allow you to keep your eyes on the road. &lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-3-lg.jpg"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-4-lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-4-sm.jpg" align="top" border="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Listen to an audio book or an MP3 while you're on the road. &lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/nuvi-4-lg.jpg"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nüvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount. &lt;p&gt; Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Navigation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table width="150" align="center" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img style="width: 440px; height: 333px;" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000BKJZ9Q-2.jpg" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tools for the Journey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.

A sleek navigator and a keen travel assistant, the nüvi 660 is preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions, and the data is provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.This preloaded navigator brings all this fantastic map data to your fingertips with a super-bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display for improved map viewing, day or night. Use the touch screen interface to select destinations, look up POIs, and play your favorite MP3s and audio books. The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H49LXQ/ref=amb_link_6247162_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=right-2&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=0A84F1GC7XAV706HM4ZA&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;amp;pf_rd_p=370005201&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=172526#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Widescreen -- See Better, See More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. All these great features make the nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Rate Map Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands-Free Calling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Easy To Use Interface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;img alt="Garmin's own navigation is easy to use" style="border: 1px solid ; width: 470px; height: 242px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000REECKS-nav.gif" align="top" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trick Your GPS Ride&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;table align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 110px;" alt="custom vehicle icons" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/vehicles-400.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style,&lt;br /&gt;at least inside your GPS.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin-icon-options.jpg"&gt; See more icon options&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; All Garmin nüvis support configurable vehicle icons. These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 770 is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area.

It's also intuitive, with a glove-friendly touch screen with left-handed controls that make it easy to operate. There's a bright, sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display that makes it easy to view, as well as a unique motorcycle console for trip information, including a fuel gauge to warn you when its time to fill up. The display measures 3.5 inches diagonally and features 320 x 240 pixel resolution.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Measuring 4.8 x 3.9 x 1.6-inches (WxHxD) and weighing just 10.6 ounces, the zumo is small enough to carry with you while you're off the bike. The high-sensitivity GPS receiver is powered by the SiRF Star chipset, which offers extreme accuracy, even when you're riding under dense foliage or between tall buildings. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The zumo comes with a motorcycle mount with universal mounting hardware so you can mount it anywhere. An automobile mount is also included, and it features an integrated speaker. Garmin also provides custom caps, which are available in a variety of colors, so you can reflect your style.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Navigate the Open Road&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The zumo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs) database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and the zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. In addition, zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras, and it also includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. Plus, the unit is fully compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide feature, a free utility that allows you to build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3 files. A rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery that offers up to three hours of use is integrated into the zumo for trip planning or use on foot.

Navigon has long been a major provider of navigation software to automotive manufacturers for in-dash gps navigation devices, but only recently did they introduce portable navigation devices under their own name. What they offer up, however, demonstrates immediately that this is a company that knows navigation inside and out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Navigon-4-3-Inch-Widescreen-Portable-Navigator/dp/B000S11K5U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=electronics&amp;amp;qid=1217135205&amp;amp;sr=1-2#corporate"&gt;More about Navigon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;b&gt;Navigon...James Navigon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you notice about the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator is, well, the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator. It's &lt;i&gt;beautiful.&lt;/i&gt; It's the kind of device you'd expect an international spy to have in their rocket car. It's less than an inch thick, and its shiny black casing will go well with just about any car interior. Paying the same attention to every detail, Navigon's included car mount raises the bar even higher, with a design that is not only easy to use, but echoes the 7100's in a way that makes device and accessory become one, adding a touch of style and elegance to any vehicle's interior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;table width="300" align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-1-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=650,height=318'); return false;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-1.jpg" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;The Navigon 7100 offers a premium navigation experience in a sleek package. &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-1-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=650,height=318'); return false;"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-3-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-3.jpg" align="top" border="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;Intuitive, animated menus offer predictive text input, helping you select your destination quickly. &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-3-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table width="225" align="right" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-2-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-2-sm.jpg" align="top" border="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;The lane assistant provides guidance to the optimal lane for your route. &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-2-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-5-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-5-sm.jpg" align="top" border="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;The reality view guides you with photo-realistic 3D images of junctions. &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000S11K5U-5-lg.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href,null,'width=600,height=341'); return false;"&gt;View larger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Packed with Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you stop ogling the outside and really start using the 7100, what you notice is that Navigon has decided to avoid media support and instead has focused on navigation-based features. This means the 7100 is packed, offering an array of features that are, at the time of this writing, unmatched at this price point. It provides you with turn-by-turn directions, including actual road names via text-to-speech. It includes built-in Bluetooth technology that enables hands-free mobile phone integration, which not only increases driver safety, but is fast becoming a necessity as states pass laws against talking on a cell phone hand set while driving. It warns you when you are exceeding the speed limit. It offers 2D and 3D map views with incredibly precise road visualizations (more on that below). Its Navteq data contains millions Points of Interest (POIs) such as restaurants, hotels, golf courses, gas stations, banks, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Reality View and Lane Assistant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 7100 has two features that are a great help in negotiating unfamiliar or complicated road systems. Lane Assistant recommends the best lane for you to be in relative to the proposed route, so you won't find yourself trying to move over three lanes when the freeway splits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality view guides you with photo-realistic 3D images of junctions, complete with actual sign text and exit ramp guidance. This makes translating what the navigator is telling you to what you see on the road instantaneous.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Free Traffic for Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a biggie. The Navigon 7100 comes is the first GPS device to offer subscription-free, real-time traffic information via the integrated traffic receiver with no additional fees or setup for the life of the product. Be advised on traffic flow and incidents, as well as the best alternate routes. The traffic info starts working as soon as you get the 7100 out of the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Zagat Ratings and Branded Icons for POIs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of Navigon's gps navigators offer Zagat ratings and reviews for their POIs, so while this device may not get you a beer, it can tell you where to find the best one. Branded icons displayed on your map make it easier to navigate to a familiar location of your choice.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Superior Software and Hardware&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The features and functions of the Navigon 7100 are controlled via intuitive, easy-to-use animated menus that use predictive text input to quickly and easily select your city, state and address. Maps and menus appear on its extra-large and elegant, high-contrast 4.3-inch, full-color touch-screen display with an easy-to-read 16:9 aspect ratio for an exceptional view of the road. The Navigon 7100 includes a powerful Samsung 400 MHz processor, a fully integrated SiRF Star III GPS chip, 64 MBs of both RAM and ROM built in, and a rechargeable 1,200 mAh lithium ion battery that is rated for 4.5 hours of continuous use. All this is housed in an ultra-thin, sleek piano black housing that weighs only seven ounces, and measures just 5.1 x 3.5 x 0.9 inches (W x H x D). The Navigon 7100 even comes pre-loaded with complete maps of the U.S. and Canada, providing you with superbly accurate, seamless door-to-door directions wherever your vehicular travels might take you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Note that the 7100 runs on the Microsoft Windows CD Net 5.0 operating system. A PC is required to use additional map data, and in such cases users require Windows 2000, ME, XP or higher, as well as a CD ROM drive and a USB port. An SD/MMC card reader is recommended as the 7100 not only uses SD cards, but also comes with a 2 GB SD card in the package.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Navigon 7100 preloaded with North American maps, 2 GB SD card, car charger, wall charger, car mount, USB cable, CD and user manual on DVD, quick installation guide, and warranty information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a name="corporate"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;About Navigon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAVIGON has been a leader of &lt;span class="glossary 253" title=""&gt;GPS&lt;/span&gt; navigation since 1991, and has a long history of industry innovations.

Navigon has long been a major provider of navigation software to automotive manufacturers for in-dash gps navigation devices, but only recently did they introduce portable navigation devices under their own name. What they offer up, however, demonstrates immediately that this is a company that knows navigation inside and out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2100 is the lowest-priced (and smallest) of Navigon's line of portable GPS navigators. While it lacks some of the features of it's bigger siblings, the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S11K5U"&gt;7100&lt;/a&gt; and 5100, it packs solid navigation and some unique features  into its diminutive frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Navigon Family of Portable Navigators&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2100 and 5100 have 3.5-inch screens, while the 7100 has a 4.3-inch widescreen. The big difference is that the 5100 and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S11K5U"&gt;7100&lt;/a&gt; come with free lifetime traffic data,  while with the 2100 you have to buy an activation code separately. The 5100 and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S11K5U"&gt;7100&lt;/a&gt; have a feature called "Lane Assistant" that will suggest which lane you should be driving in, but that's not such a big deal. Another important difference is that the 7100 also adds bluetooth-capability for hands-free mobile phone integration, which is really handy. If you want that feature, do check out the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S11K5U"&gt;7100&lt;/a&gt;.

The 2100 provides precise turn-by-turn directions, including spoken road names via text-to-speech&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality view guides you with photo-realistic 3D images of junctions, complete with actual sign text and exit ramp guidance. This makes translating what the navigator is telling you to what you see on the road instantaneous.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Superior Software and Hardware&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The features and functions of the Navigon 2100 are controlled via intuitive, easy-to-use animated menus that use predictive text input to quickly and easily select your city, state and address. Maps and menus appear on its extra-large and elegant, high-contrast 3.5-inch, full-color touch-screen display. The 5100 includes a powerful Samsung 400 MHz processor, a fully integrated SiRF Star III GPS chip, 64 MBs of both RAM and ROM built in, and a rechargeable 1,200 mAh lithium ion battery that is rated for 4.5 hours of continuous use. All this is housed in an ultra-thin, sleek chrome housing that weighs only 6.3 ounces, and measures just 4.2 x 3.3 x 0.9 inches (W x H x D). The Navigon 5200 even comes pre-loaded with complete maps of the U.S. and Canada, providing you with superbly accurate, seamless door-to-door directions wherever your vehicular travels might take you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Note that the 2100 runs on the Microsoft Windows CD Net 5.0 operating system. A PC is required to use additional map data, and in such cases users require Windows 2000, ME, XP or higher, as well as a CD ROM drive and a USB port. An SD/MMC card reader is recommended as the 7100 not only uses SD cards, but also comes with a 2 GB SD card in the package.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;Navigon 2100 GPS Navigator&lt;span style=""&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;SD card preloaded with software and maps of the continental US, rechargeable 1150 mAH lithium ion battery (rated for up to 4.5 hours),&lt;br /&gt;car charger&lt;span style=""&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;car mount&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, quickstart guide&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, limited warranty&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;About Navigon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAVIGON has been a leader of &lt;span class="glossary 253" title=""&gt;GPS&lt;/span&gt; navigation since 1991, and has a long history of industry innovations.

These are true navigational aids with full-color maps and turn-by-turn directions in addition to advanced route-planning and saving capabilities. On top of that, the 705 adds heart rate and cadence monitors, a barometric altimeter, and wireless capability that lets you share routes and workout data with other riders instantly. Sleek and waterproof, with a 2.2-inch color screen that lets you customize what data you see and how you see it, these two devices help make the most of every ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 705 comes in three different models. The &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VRFXDG"&gt;basic model&lt;/a&gt; comes with a heart-rate monitor and a City Navigator street map for U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. You can also get models that add a &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VREP8A"&gt;speed/cadence sensor&lt;/a&gt;, and a supplemental map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Edge 305 Screen (actual size)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 128px; height: 160px;" alt="Edge 305 Screen Shot" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin/edge305/edge305-screen-course.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The larger color screen (actual size) on the Edge 605 and 705 shows you your surroundings more clearly and supports real turn-by-turn navigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 176px; height: 220px;" alt="Edge 705 screen shot" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin/edge705/edge705-screen-course.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Power Of Location-Based Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who has used Garmin's original Edge 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide. Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, rode fastest (or most slowly) lets you tailor your workouts to improve to improve your riding skills for specific distances, conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you interact with every portion of your ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Altitude is recorded using a barometric altimeter for the Edge 705. This accurate altitude data makes it much easier for cyclists to match their altitude profile with their speed, cadence, and heart rate during post-ride analysis. The Edge 605 gives a somewhat less precise altitude measurement via the GPS positioning system itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A First-Rate Bike Computer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Edge 605 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned and altitude. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;705&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; also track your heart rate, cadence, power (from optional ANT + Sport-enabled third-party power meters), climb and descent. Other nifty features include the following.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Virtual Partner lets you race a virtual competitor over a specified distance and speed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Courses let you race against a previously recorded workout, so you can compare your current and past performances over the same ride.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Auto Pause pauses the timer when you slow down or stop and resumes when you speed up again, so you can focus on your ride.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Customizable computer screen shows up to eight different data fields. The user may customize the display for the size and placement of the data.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Program alerts to sound if the user strays outside the range of speed, heart rate or cadence values. Alerts can also indicate when a set amount of time or distance has passed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Auto Lap automatically starts a new lap each time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click stick helps users navigate through the various options.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;b&gt;Full-Featured Navigation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;No more scratch paper paper-clipped to your handlebars. In addition to their cycling computer functions, The Edge 705 and 605 provide the same robust navigation as Garmin's vehicle navigators, with turn-by-turn directions and a 2.2-inch (diagonal) color display that shows maps in great detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both devices come pre-loaded with a built-in basemap, and a MicroSD card slot you can use to load new maps or store workout, course and ride data. Garmin has lots of street and topographic maps available for purchase and you can download courses and rides from Garmin or other riders at the Garmin Connect website.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both feature a high-sensitivity receiver that holds a signal under trees and near tall buildings and have a click stick for easy screen navigation.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Connectivity and "ANT + Sport"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; One of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach fitness devices as a total platform with their "ANT + Sport" connectivity system. All of Garmin's new fitness devices, including the Edge 605 and 705, the Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with any devices that are compatible wiht the "ANT + Sport" protocol, including devices from other manufacturers. Currently, Garmin the devices will pair with power meter from SRM or Quarq to measure power – torque and cadence for each leg at the pedals – which is often cited as a true indicator of an efficient ride. It's unclear what other manufacturers will buy into the ANT + Sport platform, but this kind of open connectivity with products from other companies offers a great deal of potential flexibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The wireless function also makes it easy to connect one Edge unit to another to share rides, courses and workout data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Heart Rate and Cadence Monitors&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Edge 705 heart rate monitor uses a robust wireless technology that eliminates cross-talk and interference and delivers real-time heart rate data exclusively to the user’s device. This data is stored with each track point for post-workout analysis. The Edge 705 with speed/cadence sensor incorporates a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor that mounts to the rear chain stay of the bicycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Be Part of A Community&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data analysis an sharing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can also upload to optional Garmin Training Center software for further analysis. Garmin Training Center stores large quanities of workout and ride data. Some of the things you can do are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Review your workout data, including pace/speed, distance, time, calories burned; and if available, heart rate, cadence and detailed elevation. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;View a detailed graph of your workout data, plotted over time or distance. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;View a map of your workout that shows the exact path you traveled.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Categorize your workout history according to type of activity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Review previous workouts, which are saved by day and week.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Create customized workouts with specific goals and rest intervals.

As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets  you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-200W-4-3-Inch-Widescreen-Navigator/dp/B000QUZV9O/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=electronics&amp;amp;qid=1217059764&amp;amp;sr=1-14#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;See More of What's Around&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Smart, Powerful Design&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nüvi is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Garmin Lock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Rate Map Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nüvi comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, including a hefty database of more than 6 milliong points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more, that are searchable by name or category. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi accepts custom (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy To Use Interface&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="width: 100%;" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="height: 100%; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Garmin's own navigation is easy to use" style="border: 1px solid ; width: 488px; height: 251px;" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/B000REECKS-nav.gif" align="top" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond Navigation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt; Navigation is just the beginning. The nüvi features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This device is compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the  &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BM8RFC"&gt;Garmin Travel Guides&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E65HXK"&gt;Garmin SaversGuide&lt;/a&gt; provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POI’s) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trick Your GPS Ride&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 110px;" alt="custom vehicle icons" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/vehicles-400.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style, at least inside your GPS.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/garmin-icon-options.jpg"&gt;See more icon option&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align: top;"&gt;All nüvis support configurable vehicle icons.

The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 205 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 205 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist. While the 205 doesn't offer heart rate monitoring, or connectivity with Garmin's wireless speed and cadence sensor -- for that, you'll need to step up to the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CSWCQA/$%7B0%7D"&gt;Forerunner 305&lt;/a&gt; --  but it's a great way to get basic GPS location and performance data.&lt;p&gt;  View Garmin's Forerunner &lt;a href="javascript:window.open(%22http://www.garmin.com/products/forerunner305/kiosk/kiosk.html%22,%22%22,%20%22toolbar=no,height=450,width=450%22);void(0);"&gt;demonstration video&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

While the 301 delivered accurate heart rate monitoring, good performance tracking, and decent GPS reception, it didn't quite deliver in the design department. The form factor was bulky and wearing it wasn't much different than duct taping a full-sized GPS device to your wrist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Not so with the 205. Garmin's engineers obviously burned the midnight oil and have come up with a waterproof design that, while certainly not as small as a sports watch, feels just as comfortable. The curved casing allows the unit's antenna to face the sky when you're running, while the widescreen display is perfectly positioned for viewing when you need it. And the display certainly deserves a few kudos. While it's smaller than the display found on previous Forerunners, its resolution is far higher, offering incredible clarity and crispness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Garmin has smartly given the 205 a simple button layout and the buttons have a nice tactile feel with good pressure response. The right side houses the menu selection and enter buttons, while the left houses a power/backlight button and a mode button. This simple and elegant solution is a big improvement over the sometimes confusing button functionality of previous Forerunners. &lt;a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/fore305-8.jpg"&gt;View button layout&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The underside of the 205 is pretty nondescript, except for a row of contacts that interface with the included charging and data cradle. The cradle is small and unobtrusive and its single mini-USB port connects to either an included AC adapter, or a USB cable that connects to your PC. In addition to data transfer with the USB cable, you can also charge the 205's embedded lithium-ion battery via a powered USB connection from your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;GPS Performance&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big news about the Forerunner 205 is that it features an integrated, high-sensitivity SiRFstar III GPS receiver. What does this mean? It means that the 205's ability to both track, and maintain a lock on, your position is better than anything before it. After an intial battery charge, our product tester had the 205 on his wrist and was tracking speed and distance with GPS satellites within 3 minutes. The next time we used the 205, satellite acquisition was nearly instantaneous. A run through dense trees didn't faze the unit either; tracking remained true and steady. Performance on a bike was equally impressive. Whatever witchcraft has been cooked up by the designers of the SiRF technology, we like it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;table width="150" align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt;   &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/fore305-7.jpg" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The simple docking cradle makes charging and data connectivity a snap (Forerunner 305 model shown).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; While the Forerunner 205 isn't billed as a GPS navigation device, it does have some rudimentary mapping, waypoint marking, and routing capabilities. In addition to marking locations along your journey, you can zoom in or out of a simple map that displays your current direction and path. There's also a "go to location" feature that routes you back to your starting location, or to any location you have defined. Once you have defined several locations, you can save this information as a route, allowing you to travel the same path in the future. As you'll see below, the 205's new "Courses" feature gives you new levels of control over how you define your favorite runs and rides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Training Functions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 205 is first and foremost a training tool, and its ability to organize a ton of data types into a user experience that is intuitive and simple is no small feat. Whiz-bang technology aside, if you can't use it and make it a natural part of your exercise routine, it's worthless. When it comes to these factors -- and here's the take home message on the 205 -- this device is successful where many other devices fail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The heart and soul of the 205 can be found on the data screens, which give you real-time information about all aspects of your workout. In fact, the 305 can display a dizzying array of data, such as calories burned, distance, elevation, grade, and heading, as well as multiple lap and pace modes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Thankfully, the device makes it easy to define how much or how little data you want to view during a workout. You can arrange the data that's most important to you and then make that data appear front and center on the device. Indeed, within a few minutes of skimming the manual and fiddling with the device setup, you'll have your most important data displaying just the way you like it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Garmin's Virtual Partner function was cool feature of previous Forerunners and they've decided to keep a good thing going with the 205. If you're the type that performs best when you've got a competitor egging you on, you'll love this function, as it allows you to set up virtual running or biking companions that compete against you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; If you're looking for an complicated workout with a variety of intervals and intensity levels, or just a quick three-mile jog against your best time last week, the 205 has you covered. Navigating to the Workouts menu on the device yields three options: Quick Workouts, Interval, and Advanced Workout. A quick workout is just that; set the distance and time, distance and pace, or time and pace of your planned workout and off you go. Interval workouts are just the same, but they allow you to add repetitions and rest between them. When you really want to get fancy with your exercise, you can step up to advanced workouts, which include goals for each workout step, as well as varied distances, times, and rest periods. You can use the Garmin Training Center software to set up these workouts and then upload them to the device.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;PC Connectivity and Software&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garmin has been outfitting their devices with USB connectivity for some time now -- a welcome move for those who struggled with serial port connections in the days of yore. Thanks to USB, the 205 integrates seamlessly with the Training Center software and we quickly had workout history uploaded and stored on the PC (Sadly, Training Center is not Mac-compatible).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In a first for the Forerunner series, the Training Center software also lets you define courses on your PC that you can upload to the device. When course information is combined with uploaded workout information, the Forerunner becomes a complete guide, telling you where to go, when to make a turn, and what kind of workout to do when you're on the road or path. Back on the PC, the software's ability to overlay workout data on maps of the course makes it easy to see where the course offers up the tough hills and the easy recovery spots. Plus, the ability to track historical performance on a given course is a great way to measure your improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The 205 is also fully compatible with Garmin's MotionBased service, which takes your training to another level by connecting your data with the Internet. While we weren't able to use the service, the promise of sharing courses, maps, workouts, and performance data with other users is intriguing. And if you're a serious endurance athlete, you'll be glad to know that the 205 is also compatible with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web based training system designed to help athletes train for any event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   &lt;b&gt;Pros&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Radically new design is better in every way  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Amazing accuracy and fast satellite acquisition time  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;So simple to set up and use, you will actually use it &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Cons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;No Mac OS compatibility  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Okay, it's bigger than a sport's watch -- but so much more powerful &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forerunner 205, Garmin Training Center CD-ROM, docking cradle, expander strap, A/C charger, USB cable, owner's manual, quick start guide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Package Includes:&lt;/b&gt; Forerunner 205, docking cradle, expander strap, AC charger, PC/USB interface cable, Quick start guide, Garmin Training Center CD &amp;amp; owner's manual  With the Garmin Forerunner 205, form meets function with a sleek and stylish personal trainer.

These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 260W is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This means you'll always know precisely where you are. Meanwhile, an automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, 2.8 x 2.1-inches (WxH) anti-glare TFT LCD touch-screen display offers easy readability. With dimensions of 4.4 x 3.2 x 2.2-inches (WxHxD), and at about nine ounces in weight, the StreetPilot c550 features a streamlined design that will fit easily on any dashboard with the included vehicle suction mount. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The StreetPilot c550 also includes Bluetooth technology integrated with a microphone and dual speakers that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls on a compatible Bluetooth wireless phone. You can view incoming calls on your c550, and simply tap the screen to answer. Just speak into the built-in microphone while staying focused on your driving. In addition, you can retrieve and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or the phone's call history log. You can also make calls from the more than six million points of interest database -- which includes hotels, restaurants, stores, and much more.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Another feature unique to the c550 is its integrated traffic capabilities. The c550 includes the GTM 20, an integrated FM TMC traffic receiver with a free three-month trial subscription (for U.S. customers only). The GTM 20 notifies you of traffic conditions, construction and weather delays, and automatically suggests alternative routes. The navigator also comes with preloaded maps of North America and includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, and turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names -- making navigation as easy as it gets. An included MP3 player lets you enjoy music from your digital collection while you drive, and an included SD memory card expansion slot means that you can load optional software, such as language and travel guides -- making travel even easier and more entertaining than ever.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;StreetPilot c550, Preloaded City Navigator NT for North America or Europe (full coverage), FM traffic receiver with vehicle power cable, Real-time traffic services, Vehicle suction cup mount, Dashboard disk, USB cable, Carry case, Quick reference guide&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The portable StreetPilot c550 comes ready-to-go right out of the box with plenty of options.

As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 760 and  770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-760-Portable-Automobile-Navigator/dp/B000UX9YJ0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=electronics&amp;amp;qid=1217059764&amp;amp;sr=1-5#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="width: 212px; height: 329px;" align="left" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;img alt="slim form factor" style="border: 1px solid ; width: 182px; height: 211px;" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000NW0Y9W-1.jpg" align="top" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Features -- Multi-Destination Routing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;See Better, See More&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Rate Map Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;All nüvi 700s come preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;b"&gt;&lt;/b"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands-Free Calling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Integrated FM Traffic Receiver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-pages/gps/garmin/tmc-coveragemap-350.gif" alt="TMC traffic service coverage map" style="width: 350px; height: 220px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Garmin Lock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy To Use Interface&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use.

Simply dial numbers with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to place a call, and to answer calls, just tap the screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In addition, you can easily look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone's call history log. Don't know the phone number for your destination? Simply find and dial it from nüvi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Navigation and Entertainment with Ease&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For starters, the nüvi 360 includes a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver that offers exceptional performance and reception. The unit's flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for optional external GPS antenna connection. Preloaded software features maps of Europe or North America, and it includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface -- making navigation as easy as it gets.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; But navigation is just the beginning. Like the nüvi 350, the nüvi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The nüvi 360 features a bright, 2.8 x 2.1-inch TFT display with white backlight for easy readability. At 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87-inches (WxHxD) and just 5.1 ounces, the unit is small enough to be placed on the dashboard with the included suction mount, or into your pocket for easy transportability. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.

A sleek navigator and a keen travel assistant, the nüvi 660 is preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions, and the data is provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.This preloaded navigator brings all this fantastic map data to your fingertips with a super-bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display for improved map viewing, day or night. Use the touch screen interface to select destinations, look up POIs, and play your favorite MP3s and audio books. The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which nüvi is Best for You?&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-4-3-Inch-Widescreen-Bluetooth-Navigator/dp/B000H49LXQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=electronics&amp;amp;qid=1217059764&amp;amp;sr=1-2#comparison"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Widescreen -- See Better, See More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 320px; height: 234px;" alt="3-inch screen" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/3inch-screen-320.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 480px; height: 280px;" alt="4.3-inch screen" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/gps/widescreen-480.gif" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. All these great features make the nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Rate Map Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands-Free Calling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Integrated FM Traffic Receiver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="text-align: left; width: 537px; height: 228px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align: top;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-pages/gps/garmin/tmc-coveragemap-350.gif" alt="TMC traffic service coverage map" style="width: 350px; height: 220px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Easy To Use Interface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use.

These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 770 is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount. &lt;p&gt; Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Navigation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Important note about map updates:&lt;/span&gt; Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=699272"&gt;Garmin Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table width="150" align="center" cellpadding="10"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000BKJZ9Q-2.jpg" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tools for the Journey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nüvi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;small&gt;*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6356264480703044153-7779459107029219460?l=best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com/feeds/7779459107029219460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6356264480703044153&amp;postID=7779459107029219460' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6356264480703044153/posts/default/7779459107029219460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6356264480703044153/posts/default/7779459107029219460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://best-cheap-gps.blogspot.com/2008/07/garmin-nvi-350-35-inch-portable-gps_26.html' title='Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech'/><author><name>c.seo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02340579494405591491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E_tECW2vA04/SIrcMU2_bxI/AAAAAAAAAs0/GL8jzxjEdCE/s72-c/garmin-350.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
