[EDITED: SEE END OF THIS REVIEW] This is my first GPS device. Having read a lot of reviews (many on this epinions), I was struggling with several different models and brands of GPS to choose from. In the end, I chose on price/performance. ...
Pros: Easy to use, good display, very accurate Cons: Menu system a bit irritating
I have been a long user of the Magellan GPS Companion for the Handspring Visor palm pilot and decided I wanted to upgrade. Having read every review available of every type of portable and handheld GPS system (including additions to plug into my HP...
Pros: Reliable Garmin product creates routes and directions automatically. Cons: Slow. Small amount of memory. Inaccurate locations list. Problems with address numbers.

Pros: affordable, portable, easy to use, never get lost again! Cons: can be slow, can't fix map errors, slow link to PC
I do a lot of business travel where I end up in an unfamiliar city in a rental car driving by myself. I used to use struggle with paper maps and custom instructions to find my route. Then MapQuest came along which was a hundred times better. But it...
Pros: Accurate, good reception, rugged, links easily with computer. City Select maps are pretty good. Cons: Route and re-route calculations are too slow, redrawing the screen is too slow.
GPS is an amazing technology. The GPS-V translates GPS position data into usable driving information, like "you are driving North on Vine St., coming up on Healy Ave" instead of "your position is N123894 W134912."
Pros: Great accuracy, sharp little picture, auto route, wonderful little features. Cons: Money, processor, RAM!!!
Ok, so I bought this unit back in October and have had plenty of times to get lost, explore, get frustrated, and just drive around the country with friends.
Pros: Automatic routing, trip-computer, helpful in cities, accurate, good for a paperweight Cons: Poor rural maps, additional regions cost extra, s-l-o-w processor, only 19MB-RAM, eats batteries
Before you read this, or the other epinions, please consider that all the positive epinions are by people who were dazzled and "hipmotized" by the GPS V when they first turned it on out-of-the-box. I was dazzled too, for a few minutes, until I started...
Pros: Automatic routing, detouring, and highly precise location technology. Cons: Wish the screen was larger, it can be hard to see in certain lighting.
Well, after looking through my "gadget graveyard" and finding a few items I could hock on eBay, I found myself with a few hundred dollars burning a hole into my pocket. Hmm. What to buy?
Pros: Auto-routing, Back-on Track, car or handheld operation, nice backlight Cons: Recalculation can be slow, screen could be bigger.
I recently upgraded from a Delorme Earthmate to a Garmin GPS V Deluxe. The Earthmate could only be used with a laptop and Delorme Street Atlas. As a result, it didn't get used except on long trips. The GPS V is more expensive, but well worth the cost...
Pros: A solid unit that performs as advertised Cons: Wish it came with the beanbag mount
I bought the GPS V after doing extensive research and comparing features. I was concerned that it would not work as everyone has said it would, because, seven years ago, I bought a Magellan Trailblazer XL. It was impossible to understand the...
