Garmin nuvi® 255W GPS Receiver

$290.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this was intended as a hiking aid and, given a reasonable view of the sky, it performed as advertised and i use it to this day.
from www.amazon.com
i have a hand-held garmin for hiking and it is nothing even close compared to the 255w.
from www.amazon.com
the garmin unit is an order of magnitude better for driving, but the magellan is far more accurate as far as position goes when hiking or geocaching.
from www.amazon.com
for hiking or rafting or trip planning there are other more specialized gpss, but for driving this one's great.
from www.amazon.com
we own other garmin gps devices for walking / hiking, etc.

Garmin nuvi 205W GPS Receiver

$212.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
having the volume right on the first screen was great because we didn't have to go hunting for it when we did want to turn it down.
from www.amazon.com
obvious until you realize you can also simply run the unit via it's rechargable battery, and if you don't turn it off manually, it stays on until the batter runs out (useful for hiking/biking, etc.).
from www.amazon.com
i recently used it in pedestrian mode while hiking in the woods and it worked very well also.
from www.amazon.com
while looking for a way to go paperless in my geocache hunting i found a website devoted to using the nuvi 205w for just that.
from www.amazon.com
on a recent trip to my parents, the unit showed us off-roading when we were obviously not.

Garmin nuvi 260W Car GPS Receiver

$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's not a unit designed for extensive hiking/backpacking, but for short hikes it seems like it will at least keep you oriented in regard to roads, etc.
from www.amazon.com
it saves me time and money hunting for an address i don't know of.
from www.amazon.com
i would not return it for anything i can use it hiking and camping get more adventuios and if i get lost just look which way back to the car.
from www.amazon.com
i drive a 2wd vehicle, so when i realized that i was heading off-road into mud, i stopped, and the gps immediately spoke: "recalculating".

Garmin nüvi 265WT GPS Receiver

$290.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
overall i trust the garmin brand, my handheld gps is a garmin and it has worked great for hunting, boating, snowmobiling, etc.
from www.amazon.com
so part of it, the gps thinks i am off road and keeps telling me to go back to a road.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the last gps system i had is a garmin 60sx (i think) and this unit with the touch screen and keyboard input is so much easier to use, i doubt i will ever use the 60sx unless i'm out hiking or
from www.amazon.com
the first ones were like my old handheld magellan hiking unit -- slow and antiquated.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this gps to use when i went on a house hunting trip to panama city fl.

Garmin Nuvi 760 760T Car GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
other than one instance of the unit telling us to "navigate off road" we had great experience with it when had some direction challenges in mountains of northern ga.
from www.amazon.com
* additional maps (europe etc) should be much cheaper than the $150 and i was surprised that the aftermarket for specialty maps (tourist attractions, hiking routes etc) is quite limited.
from www.amazon.com
i also own a garmin e-trex legend gps which is great for hiking.
from www.amazon.com
the other day i was following directions but diverted to the hov lane and the garmin thought i was driving off-road next to the freeway.
from www.amazon.com
we expect we can much more easily take the 760 on our walking and hiking adventures.

Garmin Nuvi 780 Car GPS Receiver

from www.amazon.com
i've had several garmin gps units which i used mostly for hiking and offroad navigation -- for the most part garmin has kept offroad and onroad units separate, you could have one or the other but not
from www.amazon.com
traveling east, the display shows me --repeatedly -- off-roading because the eastbound display doesn't account for a 3-year-old highway relocation while the westbound display does.
from www.amazon.com
i am disappointed because i really wanted to keep it for the car and to use for hiking.
from www.amazon.com
garmin's fast/short (the off road mode is probably useless to %99.9 of owners).
