Garmin nuvi® 255W GPS Receiver

$290.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it just seems to make sense to have widescreen technology on a mapping device.
from www.amazon.com
it adds a few excellent features to garmin's already stellar and solid mapping and routing systems.
from www.amazon.com
this unit still suffers form the usual garmin mapping issues (like no wild cards for street names and no smart list to help you find the spelling of streets -- you have to type it in exactly as it
from www.amazon.com
so far, i have found only two tiny errors in the mapping software, not the units fault, of course.
from www.amazon.com
the unit will get you to your destination but the mapping program is somewhat strange.

Garmin nuvi 260W Car GPS Receiver

$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the mapping on it is very good so i was able to focus on the map and see the correct street but had it an audible tone of some sort i wouldn't have had to take my eyes off the driving.
from www.amazon.com
so far, the mapping instructions have been right on!
from www.amazon.com
the core functions of the 260w are spot-on, and from my understanding, all the nuvi gps units use the same mapping information.
from www.amazon.com
over the years, i have gone through all the major providers of gps-enabled mapping software.
from www.amazon.com
the screen is bright and mapping is intuitive, while the larger 4.3" screen offers much better usability (in my opinion), then the more conventional 3.5" screen gpss.

Garmin Nuvi 760 760T Car GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from ChrisJoker, www.shopping.com
online mapping services with turn-by-turn instructions are helpful—but ...
from www.amazon.com
i wish google directly supported the communicator because it's mapping blows mapquest away.
from www.amazon.com
however, the routing engine seems to produce more inconsistent performance than the garmin and i could not find enough information on their mapping data to understand how accurate it is today.
from www.amazon.com
this is only an occassional thing, and it happens with the online mapping as well (mapquest, google maps, etc).
from www.amazon.com
it is the first gps or online mapping program (google maps/mapquest) that actually suggested the route that i actually take and makes the most sense.

Garmin Nuvi 265W GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the mapping software was inferior, as it would not even say the side of the street my destination would be.
from www.amazon.com
there was no indication in mygarmin of a free update, but after a few emails, garmin tech support fixed that and i was able to install the free update of the mapping software.
from www.amazon.com
apart from mapping, the "points of interest" feature can lead you to unexpected places.
from www.amazon.com
only complaint with the unit is its mapping software update.
from www.amazon.com
its very quick and the mapping feature works well.

Garmin Nuvi 780 Car GPS Receiver

$359.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i had one concern it located a wrong address, i e-mail garmin, the next day the mapping department had the section corrected 5 stars to their prompt service!
from www.amazon.com
overall it has all of the bells & whistles however it's shortest-route mapping in my local area seems to be a little too generalized.
from www.amazon.com
have encountered a few errors (ie "turn right" when location is to the left) but i believe that is due to mapping errors.
from www.amazon.com
where i previously would have to pour through a mapbook or use an inefficient mapping application on my mdc, i can take a few seconds to insert an address and be routed to the location while using
from www.amazon.com
in the past i'd print out maps and directions from mapping programs to find my way to new places.

i love all the features, 3d mapping & the pearl white.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: although it is great for navigation it is not designed for outright mapping.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
pros: there is no way that a mapping program can be 100% accurate and up to date.

i love all the features, 3d mapping & the pearl white.
from www.amazon.com
not sure where they get the mapping from.
from www.amazon.com
now when i get in my car to go somewhere,i don't have to use a mapping program first and print out the written instuctions.
from www.amazon.com
the mapping information is the best available on the market and will provide you with clear directions on where you want to go.

the mapping software was inferior, as it would not even say the side of the street my destination would be.

the 60 day garmin numaps update is also a big plus allowing the user to receive free software and mapping updates 60 days from first satellite acquisition.

easy to follow mapping and directions.
from www.amazon.com
the mapping software is much better than the maestro and equal, maybe even slightly better, than the garmin.
from www.amazon.com
the company tells me i'm supposed to tell their mapping people about the problems...

Garmin nüvi 755T GPS Receiver

$426.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the most serious one encountered so far happened only in portland (or), and so it may relate to the quality of the mapping there.
from www.crutchfield.com
the next time, the shift is different and another road is unmarked - so it's not a mapping error.
from www.amazon.com
the pros of the unit are 1) the best maps and mapping engine 2) free traffic (like others have said the ads are small, infrequent and only display when stopped), 3) a very sensitive high-end gps
from www.amazon.com
however as with the 3d buildings, i'd not want to get that feature if it also slows down the mapping engine (which the 3d buildings do).
