Simply press the button on the remote (which attaches to the steering wheel) to activate speech recognition and begin speaking menu options. nuvi even recognizes shortcut phrases for popular functions.

Garmin StreetPilot ColorMap 3.5-inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

I’ve had my SPIII for about two years now, during which the pricing has come down some and the package offerings have increased, so this review may not match the exact contents Amazon offers here. My unit came with a 32MB memory cartidge, the serial port connection cord, the USB programmer cord, the 12V power cord for the cigarette lighter, the “sticky” dash mount, and a MapSource CD with codes to unlock one region (the US and Canada consisted of 5-6 regions, IIRC). I have since bought the beanbag dash mount and a 128MB card and purchased the “unlock all regions” option for City Navigator–probably already included items for a new purchase in today’s package. Additionally, I downloaded the “British” voice package from Garmin’s website to replace the default “American” voice–the British lady’s voice seems less harsh and less like a drill sergeant when giving directions!

I love this unit because it makes navigation so easy–isn’t that the idea behind a GPSR? With the CityNav map information loaded into the memory card (and with 128MB it fits all of PA, DE, MD, and D.C. and good chunks of WV, OH, NY, and NJ) I am able to get turn-by-turn directions to nearly any street address. If you ask it to route you to a given destination, the unit actually tells you when a turn is coming up, e.g. “In point two miles exit right,” or “In 500 feet turn left.” If you are driving without a destination selected, the unit will display the cross streets by name as you approach. You can zoom the map in for street detail or zoom out to see more of the countryside. If you have a destination selected, the unit will zoom in automatically as you approach and zoom in even more for a detailed overview of approaching intersections as you near a turn.

If you are in an area for which you do not have the MapSource detail loaded, the unit still has an internal base map that contains cities, highways, interstates, and major bodies of water, so it can still route you from city to city using the major roads. This makes driving long distances cross-country feasible and you can load up the memory card with the areas you expect to spend most of your time in if you don’t have enough memory for the entire route.

However, in those areas for which you do have the map detail loaded you can get turn-by-turn directions to an address or even select various destinations (restaurants, attractions, banks, shopping centers, etc.) listed by name and/or distance. The unit also displays address and phone information for those destinations, which is useful to call ahead and make reservations or check for vacancy if you’re the spontaneous weekend tourist like I am.

The 16-color display is beautiful–major routes are in red, arterials in thick black, minor streets in thin black, rivers and lakes in blue, parks and golf courses in green, and the background will change at sunset or sunrise to yellow (daylight) or black (night) as appropriate (the black streets will also switch to white at night).

Please note that the map detail, which includes streets and popular destinations, is a feature of the map software, not the unit itself. Garmin seems to issue updated map software on an annual basis, but you must pay for those updates. I’m still using CityNav 4.1, although Garmin’s website states that 6.0 is coming out this summer. The new 6.0 software will probably contain more business listings and reflect more recent road construction, but I’m doing fine with 4.1 and don’t see a need yet to pay for the upgrade. One reviewer complained about the lack of Starbucks locations with his map, and I expect Garmin will be adding more and more types of businesses like that as time goes by.

Enough babbling–in summary, here are some pros of this unit:
o Cheaper than most in-dash GPS systems
o Portable, so you can share the unit with your “fleet” or take it along in a rental car (and you’d best hide it or take it with you when parking so it doesn’t get stolen)
o Voice navigation, so you can anticipate an upcoming turn without having to take your eyes off the road
o Color display–so much better than a gray scale map!
o Accurate and helpful when driving somewhere unfamiliar
o Automatic route recalculation if you miss a turn or have to detour
o Address and phone info for listed businesses/sites so you can call ahead

And the cons I’ve experienced:
o Voice navigation could be somewhat improved for confusing intersections–do I take a right or sharp right at this five-way?
o Eats batteries–but this unit is too bulky to walk around with, so there is no reason it should ever be used without being plugged into your cigarette lighter.
o Awkward interface–entering street names or address numbers is awkward with the rocker button
o Loses signal in built-up areas with tall buildings–usually when you are downtown and *really* need directions the most, unfortunately! However, this is a problem with all GPS receivers and due more to the nature of the GPS system than the unit itself.

All in all, I love my SPIII. It has all the features I really need. There are units out there that are newer, have more features, and may be easier to use, but they’re also more expensive. As long as Garmin keeps releasing updated map software compatible with the SPIII, this unit should serve my needs for many more years.

Garmin StreetPilot ColorMap 3.5-inch Portable GPS Navigator Overview

Garmin’s StreetPilot GPS was the first in the automotive marketplace to offer a comprehensive mapping system that was both portable and affordable. The StreetPilot GPS ColorMap takes up where its sister product left off by boasting a razor-sharp, high-resolution, 16-color display for easy map reading. ColorMap works in an auto, truck, or van.Designed primarily for the automobile, the ColorMap improves on the StreetPilot’s basemap information by adding exit information for the federal interstate highway system that lists available services such as food, lodging, and service stations. It also contains a reference basemap showing Interstate, U.S., and State highways, plus rivers and lakes in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with main arterial streets shown in metropolitan areas. The ColorMap is compatible with Garmin’s complete line of downloadable MapSource CD-ROMs. When paired with the MapSource MetroGuide USA CD-ROM, the ColorMap will store 8 to 128 megabytes of downloaded CD-ROM information at a time depending on the size of the cartridge you use in the unit.The ColorMap features a high-performance twelve parallel channel GPS receiver for quick satellite acquisition and reliable signal reception, whether you’re under dense tree cover or surrounded by high-rise skyscrapers. Text and graphics are shown in large type for easy viewing, with a screen brightness adjustment and a night mode that alters the display colors for viewing in dim ambient conditions. The unit also comes with a cigarette lighter adapter for those times when you don’t have to rely on battery power.

Garmin nüvi 295W 3.5-Inch Widescreen Wi-Fi Portable GPS Navigator Review

I own 2 other Garmins . One I bought back in 2006 and one in Janurary. Garmin GPSs are reliable quick and accurate.

This new model has a faster processor and working through the inputting of names / choosing point-of-interests is incredibly faster than the one I just bought recently. The signal receiver is even stronger.

Some reasons why I decided to pick this one up.

1) wifi for email/web
2) mp3 so I can hook up to my car stereo . A gps all-in-one
3) Digital camera (would come handy.
4) slimmer pocket design much like the Garmin Nuvi Phone they had in the past.
5) I trust Garmin

Outside impressions:
1) very slim and excellent quality built like all Garmins GPS
2) Back side has a nice rubber coating for easy grip
3) replaceable battery
4) feels and look like a smart phone.
5) very sharp and clear screen

About the GPS function.

Pros
1) Searches faster and respond faster to my clicks and inputs than my other garmins. I mean really fast! Virtually no waiting to search point-of-interests A+
2) Stronger antenna. I live in a 1 floor house and can pick up some signal. My other garmins can’t. I don’t know about 2 story building or concrete walls. But you’re suppose to use GPS outdoor right?
3) Detects weather you’re walking or driving. Of course if it reads you’re going 2 mph then it says walking.
4) detects how you are holding it and switches automatically to Vertial or Horizontal.
-I wish they have a position lock because I am not going to keep holding the gps in my hands vertically. Once I know where to go I might take it out of the pocket and if I don’t hold it vertically right away my handling of it might make the GPS think that I am holding it Horizontal and it’ll switch to that viewing. Then you have to sort of hold it up and shake it a little to let it turn back to vertical. It’s not such a big deal but they should have a view lock.
5) Shows speed limits on streets you are driving on.
6) easily change from 3d view to birdeye on the map without having to change it in the settings.
7) has google quick search for food/bank/shopping/transit/parking/entertainment/recreation/attractions and more in case you can’t find anything you’re looking for in the built in millions of point-of-interests. But wifi required for google search.
built in point-of-interests display phone numbers which is nice.

Cons:
1) GPS speaker is muffled like if the person is talking to you through a glass window meaning not so clear compared to my Garmin Street pilot i3 and Garmin 255w.
2) Speaker volume is weaker and lower than my other garmins so for those that are going to use this for the car you can hardly hear it if you’re driving on the freeway. But will do fine for those walking with this Unit.

It does wifi for Email function/Web broswer/Weather updates

1) Email is easy to setup. Just enter your email/and password and it’ll know how to set it up. Check email instantly without accessing a computer (but you need wifi). You can snap a photo and send it through email instantly (I’ll talk about the camera in a bit). I tried sending an jpeg photo attachment and check it through the GPS and 2 out of 4 photos can be displayed. The other 2 says can not. I am not sure why. The photo files are small too. Probably wait for a firmware update. In case you are wondering, it works like Outlook express. No need to go straight to the website. Downloads email for you. You won’t have to see page Advertisements!
2) Web broswer is a nice addition/bonus but it’s really slow and sluggish. Takes about 45 seconds to load yahoo page. Screen is small so you will have to do a lot of zooming in and dragging to look around. You will not be able to make out the words if it’s full screen. You can double tap an area and it’ll zoom there. Dragging is not smoothYou can only load 1 page. So no mulitple pages. It has favorites so you can bookmark websites. You can email a website/see history/ and a back page button (no forward). Screen freezes sometimes when loading because it’s slow. No flash = no youtube.
-websites load randomly slow sometimes.
you can leave out “www.” of an address but you need to put in .com .edu..etc.
-my favorite website for video game review is [...] but it takes like 5 minutes to load, but that’s because there’s so much on the website. so I dont expect to use much web browsing on this device as much as I liked to.

Some websites either don’t load correctly or too slow so you may have to refresh or reload.

Device gets slightly warmed when using wifi so expect it to drain some battery life fairly quickly.

MP3 FUNCTION:
1) speaker is too low. Sounds flat.
2) has a 2.5mm Headphone jack. Which is strange. So you need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm in order to use your music headset.
-I tried it with a converter and sound still sounds flat and no bass really.
-the only 2.5mm headphone that works is NOKIA HS-40 which I tried You will be able to hear both side clearly. Some other 2.5mm headsets have 1 side working. But sound still sounds flat and really no bass.
3) easy to use . select from album/artist/all/genre/playlist. and shows cover album.
4) you will need to supply your own micro SD card and upload any mp3 to it.

Camera function:
1) simple straight-up no custom features like black and white/exposure/no flash/no zoom. Just snap and save.
2) picture quality is ok. around 300 -800kb enough to send through email within device. Photos are kind of saturated meaning the colors have more intense color.
3) to access saved photos you have to go through camera then gallery.
4) It can geotag meaning that once you select this and snap a photo. It will add a placemark like a thumbtack on the photo. So when you select the photo in the gallery and click the thumbtack icon it’ll go straight to the location where you took it.
5) once you send a geotag photo through email it’ll also display the photo attachment and tells you in the message that it was sent near..*address*
6) you can turn on or off geotagging feature in case you don’t want others to know your location.
7) don’t expect to print out nice 6×4 photos. These photos are ok.
Photos can be used as wallpapers. but it’s more like a screen saver . So if you are in standby you will see your wallpaper but once you go into the system it’s not going to be there.

Contact fucntion:
1) you have to manually input , first name last name, phone number and addresses, email, personals like birthday anniversary, webpage, screen name, notes company name title dept. So no downloading your contacts straight from your emails account. However if you receive an email from someone you can click their email address and it’ll add to contact which is pretty handy.

Weather Function
1) Nice graphical interface and easy to read.
2) a week of forecast
3) requires wifi for updates.
4) can display weather for Where I am now (with gps on), a different city , a favorite (from a geotagged photo you created)

Calendar
1) shows screen in month display with all the dates or the entire week
2) I like it.

Tools:
1) where I am ? Gives you your location info, nearest address, nearest intersection. Ready accessible “hospital” police station, fuel
2) calculator looks good and simple . No scientific formula stuff.
3) Clock – Shows you the time in your location, 3 other locations (you choose)
Alarm- There are 29 ringtones ..that’s a lot. You can add a lot of alarms and save it. I added like 15 for fun. The minutes can only go in 0,5,10,15,20 so you can’t select 3:17am for instant.
world map-just show you a map. Don’t know why you can’t select or drag around.
has a nice stop watch
4) converter: Currency (I think it updates itself with wifi, but you can custom edit)
– has area, distance, speed, temperature, volume, weight
5) help manual A built in how to use the gps features. Very detailed
6) Notes-comes handy
7) check-list. You can create your own or it has preloaded ones like “bill payments” list where you check check boxes for Credit card, home mortgage… You can add more to the list. A couple of other lists they created for you : groceries, travel, vehicle maintenance.

Settings: This is where you go to turn on GPS mode on or off and your wifi on or off. I wish they were accessible in the main screen so I dont have to keep tapping around.

Standby time is very decent. they say it can standby up to 250 hours. About 10 days before it has to be recharged. By-the-way you need to buy a USB gps ac power adapter. It doesnt come with one. It only has a car charger. You can get it from ebay for about for someone who sells it under this model.. Or
* buy a 3rd party usb charger for under Garmin 255w Which I have and works . They are both the same thing. Ebay sellers just title it 295w because the latest just came out.

Wifi on drains really fast. Expect a good 2.5 hour wifi on. battery is rated 1200mAh
They say up to 4 hours battery use on GPS but I haven’t been on a long trip with this so I can’t rate the battery life. I would just plug in the car charger because I don’t have to worry about battery plus it’s charging.
If you use this device on a walking trip don’t constantly hold it up and have it on. You’re not going to walk a block in 2 minutes. So turn on from standby mode and take a look, Then press the power button once and it’ll go into standby mode ..The gps receiver will instantly be turned off to save power. Turn it on when you get to the end of the block or if you’re lost. you can last a entire day with it .

I know this is a long review of the product.

Here are some improvements I like to see:
1) a bigger battery.
2) fix some jpeg issues. I can’t open some in email attachments (not a big deal ) but fix it please.
3) faster system turn on (takes exactly 1 minute) So you need to have it on standby.
4) louder speaker
5) instant wifi on off in the main menu or a switch on the side to turn it on off

If this GPS function alone was the same speed as my Garmin 255w then I’ll return it. But I am keeping it because it’s faster and has a really nice slim design.

Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Naviagtor (Refurbished) Review

I originally got this garmin for my wife to learn the way around San Antonio. We are coming from a small town area. I am very happy with the Garmin, especially after learning the Bluetooth capability. It is awkward when your GPS rings while in a restraunt, but you can figure it out prett easy. It is accurate on all the street names in this area.

The only vise I have, which I am still learning, is how it selects its route. I looked through it and it was set for fastest route, but the route it takes me is flooded with traffic lights. I have updated it, but it still takes me on some odd routes, for example. Texas is known for it’s service/ access roads and turn arounds. Well, say I am on I-410 and know that I have to get off in 5 exits, for some reason the GPS will put me on the access road, that is usually set up with a traffic lights at every intersection. I don’t know why it does that versus leaving me on the 410 and letting me of at the actual named exit.

Other than that, I am happy with the product and hope my wife will start using it instead of me driving everywhere.

Garmin Streetpilot C550 2.1-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator Review

Had this less than a year and it is very helpful when you go place’s you’ve never been to before. You can search for places to eat and see in an area your not familiar with. It seems to always get me to where I want to go. I like the built in speaker and antenna.
Only thing I don’t like is that mine already needs updating after less than a year. When on a newer road My little truck icon is out in no mans land, and the unit keeps trying to get me back on a known road. The maps are updatable (not free) and not sure what “Extras” are but they can also be downloaded.
Mine is set on “fastest route” and I know from testing on my home roads that it does not always know the fastet route. This makes me question it when I’m out of town.
I’ll use my Android smart phone from now on. Smartphones have nearly made car GPS unit’s obsolete. Only thing is the GPS units work when the cell phones don’t have a signal.
