wedding dress review Garmin 4 3 Inch Portable Navigator Lifetime
I purchased this for my wife to replace an old Mio that she had always been borrowing from her uncle. The size is perfect being a 4.3" screen- it is big enough to see and small enough to stow.
We have used it for a couple of months now and it seems to work pretty well. It doesn't always select the route that seems the best choice if you are somewhat familiar with secondary roads but it has so far always gotten us there. It recalculates pretty quickly if you miss a turn, but like most if there are multiple missed turns in a row you may be better off pulling aside and letting it reorient.
Overall it seems pretty intuitive to use, I can't say I have any real issues with getting it to do what I need it to- plan a route and find destinations.
The traffic finder seems to be 50/50 but that is common with others I have spoken with in the Philly metro area. Honestly, you probably know better if it is in an area that you frequent than the GPS does.
The photo of your upcoming exit has been a neat feature and so far has been very accurate as you approach them.
The main reason I purchased this unit is because of recalculating speed (suppose to be a little faster) and updated user interface (suppose to be easier to use the more common features) compared to the 2011 models I was originally looking at. I was always planning on lifetime maps because based on the GPS she had borrowing- they wanted $90 to update the map and it just seemed to make sense to get the lifetime maps for a few dollars more now. While I haven't done it yet, the instructions state that you get 4 updates per year.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Also, which is better for my needs? Tomtom or Garmin?
BalasHapusI am looking to get a Garmin for my husband who is a truck driver. Which one would be the best one to get him?
BalasHapusI really do not care about the price. I just want one of the best systems on the market
BalasHapusI'm looking for something easy to read/use and with the most intelligent software. I hate when devices of any sort can't perform tasks it's designed to do. Like rerouting or traffic updates. Also I love the feature where u can choose the fastest/shortest/most economical routes.
BalasHapusI need a GPS unit where I can make my own map directions on dirt/gravel roads, something that will track my drive to the location and save those directions......any thoughts?
BalasHapusMy employer wants me to find a GPS at a reasonable cost, to put in all of the trucks we have at our company. The GPS needs to know car only roads, height of bridges, etc. Any ideas?
BalasHapusone with good Performance , easy update download , great view , and a good reliable warranty.
BalasHapusFor several years I have been using a Garmin Nuvi 760. I love the screen size and the simplicity. It has started to break down recently and even with software updates, I think it's reached the end of the line. So if anyone has a suggestion for a gps that is similar, it would be greatly appreciated.
BalasHapusI have a 2008 Tahoe. It does not have navigation in it now so i bought a Pioneer In-Dash Navigation to replace the stock headunit. What all do I need to make this switch in order to have the navigation work?
