GPS Reviews

This hub will review the best selling GPS devices at the time of writing. The fact that they are the current best sellers I think already says volumns to their quality and acceptance on the part of the consumer.

This is currently the best selling GPS device on the market. It comes with NAVTEQ City Navigator NT road maps for the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Its 4.3-in screen has a bright display that makes it easy to see during the day and night. It's equiped with bluetooth wireless technology and a mic and speaker so you can make hands-free phone calls It weighs 6.2 ounces. Its widescreen 3D-like display makes you feel like you are going to drive right into the unit.

The Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator, as the its name reveals, is a bit smaller than the Nuvi 660. It can play Mp3s like the Nuvi 660 and is small enough to fit in your pocket. It doesn't have bluetooth capability. This, and its smaller screen, is what makes it about $100 less than the Nuvi. It is loaded with the City Navigator NT V.9 with maps of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

The Garmin Nuvi 360 comes with the bluetooth technology for hands free phone calls with compatible phones. It plays MP3s and has a JPEG picture viewer. It even comes with a currency converter. I don't really see the point of this, unless this device is in a rent a car being used by foreigners on a trip. This device can swap between 2D and 3D views. I prefer the 3D view. The screen is 3.5 inches and machine comes with the typical maps. The turn-by-turn direction feature guides you along as you drive. It can even call out street names.

Coming in at #4 is the Garmin Nuvi 200. No, I don't work for Garmin. The reason the top 4 GPS devices are all Garmin is simply because these are the best sellers at Amazon. This model hs no bluetooth capability.

The Nuvi 200 has 2.5 screen and fits right in the pocket. Apparently this model doesn't come with the new maps that the versions above come with. You'll have to pay an extra $75 for the new maps.
