Garmin Nuvi 265W GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i have no regret buying this device, i actually love it!
from www.amazon.com
as i expected, it performs flawlessly except for one small bug: sometimes the volume of the turn-by-turn navigation voice is muted when a paired bluetooth device (my cell phone) is active.
from www.amazon.com
it works quite well, occasinally i see a wrong turn come up, but when you actually follow it, it will make sense.
from www.amazon.com
the traffic feature is really neat - it actually shows you tie ups along your route.
from www.amazon.com
the routing does take traffic delays into account, though sometimes it's hard to tell if the detours would actually save you much time.

Garmin nuvi® 880 GPS Receiver

$800.00 Est. at Amazon

from David Heltemes from Bethesda, Maryland, clickfrom.buy.com
i have other speach recognition gps before such as the magellan but this is first one that i have seen that actually understands verbal commands with the capability to input addresses from voice
from www.amazon.com
you activate the voice recognition with a button device that fastens around the steering wheel.
from www.amazon.com
what i mean by this is the unit tald me to stay to the left for an exit, but once we got to 20 feet before the actual exit it said to exit on the right.
from www.amazon.com
it acquires quickly and the voice activation makes it a snap to use.
from www.amazon.com
it is a little pricey right now and i have not had luck using the voice activated system to work.

Garmin nuvi 255 GPS Receiver

$230.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it has text-to-speech so it announces the actual street names.
from www.amazon.com
it has one annoying drawback, though; it tells you to turn 2/10ths of a mile before your actual turn.
from www.amazon.com
i have an older garmin and it actually seems to perform better than this unit.
from www.amazon.com
the nuvi 255 has tts or text to speech so it announces the actual street names!
from www.amazon.com
a couple of the features i really like are estimated time to arrival, it shows you posted speed limits, and actual speed (which gives you an idea of how far off the speedometer in your car is).

from www.bestbuy.com
when i was able to find out which road it actually was, of course i saved the wrong one.
from A Customer from Houston, TX, clickfrom.buy.com
while this is technically correct (that ramp actually comes from 290 and goes to 610), all the other street signage only mentions 610 s!
from www.amazon.com
well, saturday, every time i would plug it into the car adapter/charger, it would go to the "garmin" screen as though it is plugged into the computer acting as a mass storage device.
from www.amazon.com
the only negatives are that occasionally we won't get the most optimal route or it will be slightly off from where the actual destination is.
from www.amazon.com
it easily connects to the computer (a big deal for me) with usb 2.0 and acts as an external disk drive.

i didn't give 5 stars (actually would have preferred 3.5) because the bluetooth doesn't work with my phone (treo 680) although i got it to function, it makes my device lock up after the call and i
from www.amazon.com
of sales, almost every garmin portable gps navigator sold by amazon.com will come with the most recent map version," my 760 came with maps branded 2008 (actually from 2007) and outdated gps software.
from www.amazon.com
although i live in a major metro area in a house that was built in 1987, it can't find my actual address.
from www.amazon.com
so, for me, the three month trial period is a waste since i can't prevent its activation until such time as i might need it.
from www.amazon.com
there is a screen similar to the one that garmin provides for its marine gps units whereby it shows you the actual satellites that have been acquired.

mapquest tried to send us on a road that really didn't exist and this actually got us where we needed to go (even though it was an unpaved mountain road - we saved 30 minutes driving to a paved road).

at first i was actually annoyed that it ran all of six pages and most of that discussed how you shouldn't soak it in water or throw it against a wall, etc...

one time, it indicates i've turn on the interstate, which i was actually about 1/2 away from the ramp.
from www.amazon.com
