TomTom GO 740 Live 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable Live Internet Connected GPS Navigator Immediately

>> Thursday, April 29, 2010


There is no such things as a perfect GPS. Regardless of the brand they all have some sort of flaw (s). Now the 740 Lives is the closest one to perfection. I have tried the Garmin 265T, 765T, 885T, 1490T. These models have several things in common, overall the don't function very well. Examples: Touch Screen is very unreliable,even after recalibration. The touch screen of the 740 is very responsive and accurate
The 1490T when you select the option to avoid traffic while enroute it will turn itself off.
Beside the 1490T the speaker on all the other models is very low, even after turning the volume all the way up. The speaker on the 740 is loud and very clear, including using it with your phone.
I also found that the 740 Lives map is more up today than the garmin is, even after the update the Garmin to the newest map.
The Junction View of the 740 is awesome it will show within 0.5 miles before your exit and it will stay there until you are on the exit or ramp, the junction view of any of these Garmin will show only few seconds before is gone, literally you not even have time to see it.
One disavantage, and this is my personal opinion is that the 740 is a GPS for advance user, it has some much option that I think it can confuse anybody without GPS experiece.
In both the 740 and the Garmin is very easy to connect your blue tooth cell phone.
I have read some people complaining about the voice command on the 740, he/she said that youn have to touch the screen in order to activate it. This is not necessarily true if you have the blue tooth remote control for the 740, which you can use to activate it.
Something that a really love about the 740 is that when your making a turn and you have to make one or several immediate turn after that, the GPS will warm you with enough time and distance in advance, vs the garmin which will warm within seconds or yards of your turn
This is a cool option, be able to modify your own GPS map. EX: Add any type of POI, change or add speed limit, close or open road. There is a new gas station close to my house, which doesn't show on my GPS, with this option I was able to added it.

Bought this as a back up for a boat. Work good, sometimes seems to be off by more than 100 feet, even when located 5 or more satelites.
Good battery life, easy to navigate menus.
Manufacturer should provide GPS-to-USB connector, not only to-Serial, which is not common these days, especially on laptops.
Once connected to PC and software installed, easy to back up and load maps and routes.Get more detail about Garmin GPSMap 76 Handheld GPS Navigator.

Garmin Suction Cup Mount (010-10936-00) Get it now!

>> Sunday, April 18, 2010


I left the window mount & bracket in a rental car in North Carolina (why Hertz doesn't contact you when you leave something of value in your car is beyond me). I couldn't find the item on the Garmin site and fortunately found it here. I received both the window mount & the bracket from Amazon. I thought the price was a bit high, but I use my Garmin when I travel and knew I couldn't live without it. So now I can get back out on the road with no worries about where I am or "how the heck do I get home from here?" running through my head.Get more detail about Garmin Suction Cup Mount (010-10936-00).

Removable Air Vent Mount For Magellan GPS Buy Now

>> Wednesday, April 14, 2010


I bought this last winter and easily installed and used with magellan GPS. Needed to be mounted with care but, held in great position and no suction cup ring on the windshield. As soon as the warm weather came the clamps attaching to the vent stretched out and no longer held onto vent. Very disappointed. This was exactly what I hoped for until the heat ruined it.Get more detail about Removable Air Vent Mount For Magellan GPS.

Navigon 2100 Max 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech (Factory Refurbished) Order Now

>> Friday, April 9, 2010


Navigon has exited the North American GPS market, and has done so in a spectacularly irresponsible fashion. Even if you bought your device new last month, you will not be able to update your maps, nor get technical assistance. Even those of us who purchased three years of map updates before they closed shop are not getting our promised (and paid for!) map updates. Unless you can get a great deal on one of these, such that you won't mind using a product with no technical support or warranty, and on old maps, do NOT buy one of these.Get more detail about Navigon 2100 Max 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech (Factory Refurbished).

Garmin nüvi 1250 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Decide Now

>> Sunday, April 4, 2010


I bought my Garmin Nuvi 1250 a few days ago. I have never owned a GPS, but used a few from friends in the past. I wanted one that had free traffic updates and was easy to use AND inexpensive. With this Garmin, I got it all. I have not even opened the manual yet and I've already traveled the back roads of Wisconsin that would have had me lost in the woods! This morning it saved me from being late to work by giving me last minute traffic updates. I can't believe what a great little GPS I got for under $200 bucks. If you are thinking about buying one, seriously, just do it. I waited for a few years and I'm so happy with my purchase. It may be the best money I ever spent!Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 1250 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator.
