This pack is WELL worth it if you don’t have the US Street maps for your GPS unit. For an extra few bucks on top of just buying the maps, the car charger adapter and the permenant and temporary GPS fixtures work well and are decent quality. Highly recommended.

I don’t know the difference between 2nd or 3rd generation. This one does everything I want it to do.

Garmin GPS Navigator nüvi

I bought the Garmin nuvi 1350T because it was the most up to date Navigator with all the features I need to get me from A to Z. I thought the price was very reasonable and I bought it through Amazon. I mostly used the excellent reviews on Amazon and liked the way the various navigators were comparred. I have used it around Orange County, CA for the past few weeks and found it to be very accurate. This past Sunday I was traveling from one Furniture store to another and was certain it was getting me lost when suddenly we were right where we wanted to be. My wife and I laughed that it was a lot smarter then we were about directions. The voice is nice and loud at 80% (Im a little hard of hearing) which seems to be problem with so many of the earlier navigators. It takes a little getting used to the entry system but I find using the eraser end of a pencil best for entry onto the touch screen sitting at my desk programming locations I want to travel to. One problem was there seems to be no directions as how to enter destinations in the little Quick Start manual which I find distrubing. Is’nt that what its all about? Seems Garmin missed one there. But once you figure it out its not too hard to enter destinations. I live in a 3 story cement condo and live on the middle floor and still get the satellite signal. The only thing I wish I had is the voice entry model but did not feel it was worth the extra $200. I also bought this navigator because of the lifetime Traffic included. One other thing. I also bought this model because the car cable that plugs into the 12 volt car system plugs directly into the navigator (rather than the base holder). This is important if you are going to get the best base holder for your car, not the one that comes iwth the unit which is glued to the windshield which is not lawful here in California. So plugging the cord directly into the unit rather than a base which I could not use in CA was very important. Also buy two weighted hol

The step on feature is great as is the large, lighted display. Very accurate and easy to use. Display can be seen easily with 65 year old eyes. Very pleased and would recomend to friends.
Garmin Nuvi 200W Nylon

For the price, you can’t beat this one. I bought it because of CR’s recommendation and Amazon’s reviews. Got ours yesterday and I immediately put it to the test. It is very good on carpet. It sucks! Really! It is lightweight so I can lug around the stairs with ease. Being 7 months pregnant, this is definitely a plus. The only thing I would recommend is to buy the extension hose because it’s a little short and if you use vacuum cleaners like I do (I stopped using those swiffer dusters and just vacuum every nook and cranny of the house with the dusting brush attachment), you will surely find the extension hose a big help. Oh, also, when I use the hose to hand-vacuum the furnitures/curtains, I cover the hose outlet with one of the tool attachments so the dust in it would not flow back up because of the turbulence. I believe in the newer models, they remove the hose outlet cover (I wish they didn’t). Anyhow, that does not deter me from giving this little “sucker” a 5 star rating. It works just like those expensive ones yet for a fraction of the cost and fraction of the weight. Good job, Hoover!

The best mounting solution I have found for a smaller vehicle with little dash space. I use this with my Nuvi 785T.
I ordered this mount along with the Arkon GN047 which is very similar in design. I prefer this mount to the GN047, it is sturdier, better made, and clips onto the vent harder and does not move around.

I have a smaller vehicle with very little dash space, and windshield mounts are not a legal option in my state. The dash of my car (BMW 3-Series) is textured, so the standard stick-on mounts do not work. I tried several of the Garmin friction mounts (both the beanbag and sticky rubber mount) – so far all on-the-dash options are wrong for my car for a variety of reasons.

My only complaint is that it sticks out a little far compared to the Arkon mount due to the extra adjustment arm, but that is a very minor complaint. If you are looking for a sturdy vent mounting solution for your Garmin GPS then this is it.

IG A05 Garmin Nuvi

I love it. I’ve had it for 2 months now and have already read twice as many books as I normally do.

Pros
- The ability to download books at anytime is the convenience of a lifetime.
- The prices are excellent because when I used coupons I would still pay a little more even for paperbacks at certain brick and mortar stores, plus no taxes.
- The library of classics is also quite large and free.
- The battery life is great, 2 weeks between charges.
- Lightweight and easy to use one handed
- The e-ink screen is easy to read with

Cons
- I think the navigator button and keyboard are a little hard to use, even though I don’t have large fingers. But I don’t use it that much, since I usually buy my books from the PC and I really don’t make any notes.
- The next/prev page buttons on the left side took some getting used to. I think I naturally felt that you click the right button to go forward and the left to backward.
- The interface seems a little clunky and I seem to have some bookmarks I can’t seem to delete.

Overall as a reader it’s great. The keyboard interface is easy to use, but not really to my liking. Since I may use it only once a week, it is not an issue.
