Garmin Red nüvi 205W 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this unit for about 8 months. It has given me no problems what so ever. The bad thing about it for me is how basic it is. If you want bluetooth compatibility, traffic updates, movie times, etc on your GPS, then this is not the device for you. But if all you want is to get around and find places, then this unit will work well.
The price seems a little high right now for what it does ($167). For that price I would expect bluetooth compatibility. This unit does not say the road names, it just says turn left or turn right in 200 feet(not a big deal). When you look places up, it has their phone number and address (usually) which is nice because if its late at night, you can call first to see if they are still open.
This GPS has an SD card reader on the side, which can be used to view pictures in slideshow mode when you don't need the unit for navigation.
The screen is very bright during the day, so you can easily see the screen. And a nice feature is that when it gets dark, the screen automatically changes colors to 'night' mode, which helps when driving at night (the screen dims and the bright white background colors change to dark blues and blacks).
The trip features are nice. It keeps track of your average speed, how long you spent moving, how long you spent stopped, total travel time, how many miles you've gone, etc.
It takes about a minute to a minute and a half to find your location from a cold start, but if you leave it powered all the time (with a car in which the cig lighter stays on when you turn the car off) it never loses the location (not sure if that is bad for it).
The battery life is very good (about 4-5 hours).
There are many add-ons that a technologically advanced person can add to it. Such as custom points of interest (you can download them or even make your own, and you can set alerts so that it warns you when you are close to a certain place or when you are speeding in a school zone). You can add different vehicle icons to use as the car on the screen.
Overall, it is a decent, but very basic navigation device. Not many bells or whistles, but it gets you from point A to point B well.

Speck Products ToughSkin Rubberized Case for Garmin Nuvi 250 Series GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Garmin seemed so slick and I was worred about my kids holding it until I got this "Tough Skin" case. It is perfect! It provides protection, easier handling, and a great grip. The case is user friendly and has cut-out holes in all of the right places so that it does not interfere with any of the buttons or functions on the gps. I was thrilled that a screen protector and cleaner also came with the case. If you want a little protection and a gps that is much easier to hold onto, this is for you!

Gps, Hook-and-loop Fastener Wrist Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had a Garmin 205 for about a year now. My wife and I both did not like the rubber strap provided so we bought a replacement strap. I looked everywhere for a velcro/fast-wrap that you did not have to remove the pins to download/charge the gps. You won't find one out there. This strap is great: stays in place, resists moisture/sweat, easy to fasten. Garmin's website doesn't descirbe this either: you can just slip the charging unit between the strap and watch; it's great. The was the best $10 I have spent in a long time. Keep running.

Garmin A/C Charger for Forerunner 201 (010-10483-00) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It comes with the Forerunner 201 so you don't have to get this unless you somehow lost it. If you need to get it, this is WAY over-priced. It doesn't even come with the data cable, which is sold separately. Garmin accessories are always very expensive.
Here are some comments on the charger.
1. The bracket fits the GPS unit very tightly. It hurts my fingers to remove the GPS units after charging. I hope the plastic don't break one day forcing me to replace the charger.
2. The design of the bracket makes it impossible to use the connector which also transmit data with other Garmin GPS. This is very irritating since Garmin data cables are SO expensive. Why force us to buy expensive accessories.... Hmm, profit? Damn, I hate marketing people!
