Remanufactured Garmin Quest Pocket-sized GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read lots of reviews and decided to go with a refurbished Quest-I just to save a buck, also, I ride motorcycles and from what I read, this one can be easily mounted on the bike or stick into my pocket too, so I ordered it on my B-Day and very pleased with it, it always put a big smile on my face when I hear "Arriving destination on right.."
I have only had it for a little over a month now and only used it in the local state, it already saved my time/gas twice big time...I will bring it to my mini-vacation this weekend to see how it goes...

Pharos 565 Pda SERIES/3.5INCH LCD/wifi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought mant things from Amazon but this is my first review for a product.
I bought this Windows Mobile PDA about a month ago to replace my old PalmOne Zire 31. Basically I wanted to have a organizer with office functions so that I could do some office work on road. I also needed a wireless connection for me to check emails outside of my office. Of course, laptop can do these jobs but it is not convenient to carry on all the time. This product is very good to serve my purposes. It can creat and edit Word and Exel files; it can also do slide show of PowerPoint but can not edit PP files. I tried to use ShowMate to perform a slide show in a projector and this device did connect with the ShowMate via bluetooth and project the slides onto the projector. However, the connection between the PDA and ShowMate is not stable and easy to be lost. Also, the PDA was freezen frequently during slode show onto the projector. I updated the firmware of the ShowMate and expect the connection could be more stable but have not tried yet.
Internet connection through wi-fi is good and easy for low security network. I can easily connect with the wireless at my home (DSL), in hotels and coffee shops. But the biggest downside for wireless connection is that this device does not support WPA2-enterprise, AES and PEAP wireless connection which is a popular highly secured wireless network in most universities including my university. I asked our university IT people for help and they spent more than two hours on it but it could not connect with our wireless network. I contacted the tech support of Pharos and they said they are working on this issue. After extensive research on this issue, I found this seems a common issue for Windows Mobile devices. Hopefully they can solve this problem very soon.
A nice feature of this device is the GPS capability. It has build-in GPS but no software provided. I bought a third-party software (Navigon MobileNavigator 7) and it worked nicely in this PDA. I am pretty satisfied on the GPS function. It can even detect GPS signal inside buildings where my regular car GPS could not. So the sensitivity is very good but it takes several minutes to obtain the signal when inside the buildings.
Overall, it is a good product but do not expect to replace your laptop with this PDA, especially for presentations using PowerPoint.

Expresso AG1 3.6-Inch Automotive and Golf GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just upgraded my old Garmin Street pilot and purchased the Expresso AG1. This GPS does everything compared to the dinosaur Garmin that I paid $450 for years ago. This new GPS is so sleek and does everything and fits in my pocket. The Expresso has my local golf course imaged perfectly with the overview option. The detailed shot planning is awesome feature as well. For all of the capabilities that this can do is a steal for $250.

Garmin StreetPilot i2 2.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had a Garmin iQue 3600 for over 3 years. I recently bought the i2 for my wife. We just used it in Phoenix for a few days and I must say I'm considering getting the i2 for myself. The suction cup works well and it is very compact and connects to the DC power via the mini-USB port. It makes for a very compact traveling companion.
At first, I felt that the hard button controls and no touch screen would make the interface difficult to use. To be honest, it works better in most cases! The thumb wheel/button works great and the back button is intuitive like a browser. It picks up the sats fast and gets great reception. The B&W screen is easier to see in sunlight and is pretty sharp and surprising usable for the small size. The voice is loud (and adjustable) and we had little or no issues. I like the 3D mode but you can switch to 2D if you like that better.
I agree with other reviewers about one way streets and occasional longer than needed routes. Also, U turns are a fact of life in Phoenix and it usually doesn't factor in U turns as a possibility so it takes you down and around instead. However, adjustments can be made in the settings to look for or avoid highways and not to ignore U turns, so look there.
I find that mounting my iQue is a pain so I use an external antenna and a sand bag mount. Having to haul all that on trips was a pain. I'll take the i2 from now on as it is all in one and very packable. I can see how there would be issues on windshield placement so think about that before you buy. I had no trouble on 2 different rental cars. Make sure you press solidly in middle of back before flipping lever and it wont go anywhere.
All in all, when you factor in the small size, nice usability and the price, this one is definitely top of the list! If you want a unit you will likely use in your own car all the time, I would suggest the iQue in a hard mount or the C300 series. These have touch screens and allow you to slide scroll and such. But they are twice the money!

No larger than a baseball and priced with affordability in mind, the StreetPilot i2 GPS navigation system is a great fit for commuters, college students, and corporate travelers looking to experience the ease and enjoyment of satellite navigation for the first time. Don't let the small size fool you; the i2 boasts many of the same powerful functions as Garmin's premium vehicle GPS navigators.
The StreetPilot i2 features a unique and convenient click-to-enter scroll wheel and a back button that makes it easy to select a destination from the unit's menu-driven interface. It also offers voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions through a built-in speaker, and should you miss a turn, the i2 will automatically recalculate the route to put you back on course. And perhaps most conveniently, the unit moves easily from vehicle to vehicle thanks to the integrated suction cup mount, so you don't need to go through a cumbersome process each time you change cars.
To get you from point A to point B, the StreetPilot i2 includes a MapSource City Select North America NT DVD, which contains mapping detail of the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. The DVD's nearly six million points of interest range from hotels and restaurants to gas stations and ATMs, along with local attractions such as amusement parks and museums. Simply load the City Select data onto the included 128 MB Transflash data card via a fast USB connection and you're set.
As an added benefit, you can now import customized points of interest with the help of Garmin's free POI Loader software. For instance, you can upload safety cameras or school zones, and then receive a warning if you are traveling too fast in these areas. In addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom POIs.
Maps are displayed on the i2's high-contrast backlit FSTN monochrome display, which includes a backlight for difficult lighting conditions. Motorists even have the choice of multiple perspectives--either a 3-D mapping angle or an overhead bird's-eye view. For added convenience, drivers can power the unit with either two AA batteries (six hours, typical use) or the included 12-volt adapter cable.
The StreetPilot i2 measures 3 x 2.74 x 2.15 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box StreetPilot i2, America's Lite Routable base map, City Select North America DVD, PC/USB cable, 12-volt adapter cable, vehicle suction-cup mount, dashboard adhesive disk, 128 MB Transflash data card, setup guide, user's manual.

Navman iCN 750 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A major factor in my decision of which GPS receiver to purchase was the screen size. I wanted to be able to see the details, as I do not have the greatest eyesight. This unit has a four-inch diagonal screen. It is one of the largest in portables. Another factor is that my car, a 2006 Nissan 350Z has an opening in the dash for an in-dash GPS unit. When I purchased the vehicle, I could not see paying $1800 and did not ask whether it could be added at that time. I also must say that the Navman ICN750 fits perfectly in the opening at the very rear, which helps shade it from direct sunlight. This is good since the sun tends to wash out the screen a little bit. Still, it can be read in direct sunlight. I am not using the supplied mounting device, as it must be mounted on the dash, which would obscure the gauges and is not removable to be remounted elsewhere such as a second vehicle. I have emailed the company asking whether the suction mount was supposed to be supplied along with the sticky pad I received. I may not have received it because I live in southern California and it is illegal to mount anything to the windshield. Still, that should be my decision to make. I am uncertain as to how I will mount it in my vehicle. It sits well in the opening and has only fallen face down once. The opening is well lined and cannot damage anything.
Since I have only owned it for 5 days I have not used the unit very many times. I first used it to go to work which is about a 20-25 minute drive. The device took about three minutes to find my location with the satellites. If you power the unit off and later power it on in the same vicinity, it takes only seconds to find your location. The unit wanted me to take the freeway but since I much rather drive the coastal route; I ignored the third direction which was a right turn. I opted to go straight which would lead me to my normal route. After telling me to turn right for a second time, which I also ignored, it announced to continue straight. While continuing straight, I knew I would have to turn left as the street would end and I would have no choice but to turn. This might confuse someone who is not familiar with the area. The trip gets boring from this point until the roundabout, as I just have to continue on Pacific Coast Highway until I get to that location. Upon approaching the roundabout, the unit announces to take the third exit, which is correct. After the exit, the next announcement is to turn right. Now the announced right is a very rough road, very short but not one I like to drive on since there are so many pot holes so I ignored the direction. No problem, the unit simply announces the next right to turn on. It seems as though the unit calculates the first opportunity to make a turn, which is not always the best decision as I have stated previously. Now, I have to say that I had photographed my place of business so that I could see if the GPS could actually find it. Unfortunately, it sees the destination as the street I last drive on before the parking lot I need to turn into before parking. If I was not familiar with the area and there were many businesses as could be the case, I would be a bit confused. At least it got me to within 100 feet of my intended destination.
I find that the buttons on the touch screen to be not very intuitive however, they are not beyond comprehension as you can see with some poking around. The screen is very prone to fingerprints although not so annoying when the unit is on as when powered off. The prints wipe off easily. A PDA or other type of screen protector would help prevent this minor inconvenience.
The software would not load for me initially. I do not know why, although I suspect that there must be something that my firewall, antivirus, or other software must be trying to prevent its access to the internet. I just rebooted my laptop and the software came up with options of which aspects I wanted to load.
I like this GPS unit very much, although I have not had much experience with this type of item. It does not seem very difficult to use, the options are many, the screen is large enough for me and the price was reasonable. I would make this purchase again. If I can, I will update after some time and possibly, after I take my trip to Hawaii in November. Yes, it has maps that cover Hawaii.
Since my last writing, I have contacted Navman about the suction mount device and have received no response. I am very disappointed. Customer service is very important to me. Still, I am pleased with the gps unit.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After opening the box, it was ready to use with nice 2gb card full of maps and POIs. only 50mb space left in card for your MP3, Pictures and videos. Well, smart me, bought 4gb sd card for it. Now I am ready loaded with my MP3s, photos and what not, to use 4gb card. Lets see what happen:

Need reg# and UPC# for registration, which didn't come in box. emailed amazon invoice to customer service and got that. thanks i didn't had to fax info. Also customer service told me that maps came on SD card are the latest and greatest they have. very disappointed! So no more maps updated in last 4 yrs.
2. Started MP3 player, showed first file invalid, too bad! went to second folder and atleast the 2nd file worked. then I noticed it is showing couple of files invalid. player does not work in background when you are on maps! Also it takes you to first folder every time you go to play mp3.
3. Picture viewer is nice and have reasonable interface.
Also POIs and addresses are horrible to search.
Well I am going to return mine! shop for a better one. Price is not too bad on this and that was the only thing attracted apart from bundle of so called features.

Mio P550 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't recommend this item. There are a couple of pluses, but there are a number of problems:
First, the pluses--
--The price is good for a GPS unit and PDA.
--The SIRF III GPS received is responsive, receiving good reception even inside my house (except for the basement).
--The Wifi is fast.
Now the minuses:
--The battery life is poor. I ran through a fully charged battery in a little over an hour with the Wifi on.
--The screen is poor quality. There is bleeding of text and images and the resolution does not appear good. Possibly, this is because the screen is quite large for 320x240 resolution.
--The PDA functions are not integrated with the mapping and GPS functions. E.g., there does not appear to be a way to access your contacts list within the Mio Maps.
--Mio Maps is clunky software. It requires multiple taps and is not intuitive.
--There are typical Windows Mobile memory problems because applications do not shut down when closed. I guess I'll need to pursue the third party software route to address this problem.
--Internet Explorer is a dated and inconvenient browser for mobile devices. It doesn't format pages well and will not load secure sites such as Chase Banking. I downloaded Opera mobile but they want to charge $24 for a registered copy.
--The device is quite heavy. It is industrial in appearance; not attractive but not terribly ugly. It is a bit odd that the screen is so recessed.
--I was surprised that the device connects to ActiveSync via USB 1.1. This causes synchronization to be very slow.
--Skype did not work very well even though I have a very fast home Wifi network.
--Almost no software came with device (only Worldmate, Mio Mapping and the basic Windows Mobile). Outlook was not even included. This is a first, in my experience.
I haven't used the mapping software extensively. It's based on TeleAtlas.

Teletype 3100 Worldnav 3100 Deluxe Portable GPS Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am agree with the other reviews: The turn locations can be quite off and the street names can be off.
I have been testing it with my wife's Magellan I brought 3 months ago.
The Magellan and the Teletype Premium side by side had interesting results.
Even with the Teletype having 12 million POI, the Magellan showed me like 35 points of interest (in real time) by Disneyland, CA. The teletype unit showed me 1 gas station (in real time).
Both the Magellan & Teletype unit failed to find In N Out (Burger Restaurant) as a POI [point of interest] without me physically pulling my hair out for 1/2 hour toying with both of them. The problem was: In N Out is spelled In-N-Out. I can not believe both manufacturers could not think of programming their software to recognize names with and without hyphens connecting the words.
Teletype could not find the Street Name: N Glassell, in Orange CA automatically. While Magellan has an advanced feature to only highlight letters of streets as you type in the name of the street. As you keep typing, the Magellan does a process of elimination and displays a list of only the streets that are left, before you finish typing. This is a really blow you out the door feature!!!
The Magellan doesn't do text to speech, but the Magellan even tells me that I arrived at my destination and what side of the street my destination is on. The Teletype doens't tell me I arrived as good as the Magellan. I finally noticed today I get a flag on the screen on the Teletype Prem. Which is kind of self defeating. I want to hear the directions to my location with text to speech while not having to look at the screen.
I brought 2 Teletype Prem., hoping to give both as gifts to my family in CA. The one person is legally blind, but can see enough to ride his bike to work sometimes. I felt I could give this Teletype Prem. GPS unit to him and take some of the pressure off his wife. Now I am very nervous about giving him the unit.
I put in a call today 7/1/07 to Teletype GPS, hopefully they got a patch, for the devices or I may have to return them and lose 25% restocking fee.
Even though I do not want to return the units.
I kind of got the hang of all the neat features now. Hopefully we can rectify the problem tomorrow.

First: sometimes it will spend a lot of time to lock on the satellite signal, > 1 min.
Second: the processor is really slow. very hard to tolerate.
Third: the database of Point of Interest is too small, I even cannot find a nearby Walmart through this gps.
Fourth: the voice system is bad.
I am not able to use any other service from this gps other than the "follow me up" function.
I DO NOT recommend anybody to buy this product.

(More customer reviews)I live in California and travel a LOT for business. I saw the H610 in a magazine and picked one up for myself. I will never leave the house without it! No matter what city I visit I can easily navigate from the airport to the hotel and can easily find a great restaurant or night spot for afterhours. And the media player has saved my sanity more times than I can recall. Now when I sit on a plane I can listen to songs, watch movies or play games - without having to bust open my huge laptop.
I cannot imagine hitting the road without one!

Deluo Keychain GPS Sensor for Smartphones With Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Item was purchased for use with a Blackerry Device the 9530 Verizon Device to be exact. First issue...it would not pair with the Blackberry, at least I could not get it to do so with the usual "0000".
I called the support number in the "manual" that accompanied the device and the gentleman who answered was unable to help. The "specialist" sounded as if he was responding to me from the middle of some kind of extremely noisy environment. I did not get the impression that he was really focused upon assisting me. The other issue is the installation of the software. The instructions left a great deal to be desired and also presented a challenge there.
My opinion, this is not the solution for an alternative to VZ Navigator. The device does not interface seamlessly with the Storm, at least I couldn't get it to do so; I never was able to pair the device with the Blackberry nor was I able to get the software to run properly. Although this may simply be an incompatibility issue with the Storm, I would think twice about acquiring this product. Difficult to pair, poor manual and inadequate product support; this is a dangerous combination. If this is for Blackberry it is not for the 9530 Storm.

Navigon N100 LOOX Sport GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No longer do I have to print maps, stuff them in my pocket, read them while I'm driving, and encounter the inaccuracy that so often comes from online direction maps. I simply type my address into my Pocket Loox, stick it on the dash and start driving. After over 50 trips to unknown destinations, the device has consistently guided me accurately. With the device's built in point of interest database I have found countless instances where I have been relieved from having to know my destination's address. Just type in the point of interest (restaurant, ATM, Hotel, train station, shopping center, tourist locations, schools, businesses, hospitals, movie theatres, government offices, etc.) and hit the "start navigation" button and you're on your way. A couple of times I have had arrived at my destination early and decided to hit a starbucks or an ATM that does not charge fees. I simply enter the interim destination and the device takes me there and back. Given that this destination database is in-part powered by Zagat, I have been able to find not only mundane destinations like an ATM, but to find entertainment destinations like jazz clubs, high quality restaurants, and tourist destinations.
The coolest thing about the loox over other devices I investigated is its portability. It's so small that I can stick it in my pocket and use it as I wander around my destination. This came in handy at an outdoor mall when I was looking for a specific store. By using its points of interest I was able to be directed to the nearest store for the items I was looking for. On a recent hiking trip, the device was very accurate in communicating our position as it related to the surrounding area and our base camp destination.
As with any GPS device, it is mandatory that you are not obstructed by things like roofs (the device cannot be initiated indoors). I live in an urban environment and I have never had a problem being inhibited by buildings or the like, but you need to be outside when you initiate a new trip.
I can't express enough how cool it is to stick this device in your pocket and go. In my car the maps are brilliant enough to easily read, but you really don't need to look at the screen because the voice commands tell you exactly where to turn and when - it even alerts you to the lane you should be in for upcoming turns and warns you when you may be violating speed limits. When I have been traveling for business, the device's knowledge of my location and its accuracy has guided me to countless meetings without any worries.
I did have one difficulty with the device where it stalled and I had to actually pull over and stop and restart the device (because I had become so reliant on its accuracy, I was dependant on it to take me to my destination). I had fortunately save my destination as a favorite and so I didn't have to re-enter the information, just select the favorite destination and hit "start navigation" and we were off. Other than that one time, it hasn't let me down. Cool Gadget!

Whistler WGPX-650 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this unit for several months but did not really put it to maximum use until this past week. For a two thousand mile, eight city trip, it worked flawlessly. I did learn I need to put in my preferences. After that I was one happy traveler. Pulling into a north Chicago suburb late at night without a room reservation, I tried the points of interest feature for the first time. I selected a motel, it took me straight there without having drive forever looking or reading a map at night. This unit more than paid for itself on this one trip. Another feature I liked was pulling off the road and driving into a town I was not familiar with. After looking around for a while, I switched the unit back on, it replotted my route and got me out of town and on my way in no time. I am buying a unit for my wife and one for my daughter. These are no longer toys but a have to have for safety and convenience.

Garmin nüvi 275/275T 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this device a few weeks ago in anticipation of a trip to the UK. I've driven there before, navigating with the excellent AA road atlases, but being an American driving a right hand drive car with a manual transmission, sometimes in bad weather, I would often get task-saturated. I thought a GPS or "Sat Nav" as they call them, would make the job a little easier.
The only features that I really needed in a GPS unit were the U.S and European maps and text-to-speech, ("turn left on High street"), beyond that, additional whistles and bells didn't matter to me.
Initially I looked at both Garmin and TomTom and decided to go with Garmin since it was less expensive to find a unit that had North American and European maps. I paid about $270 for my 275T, it was the least expensive unit that had European maps pre-installed. Buying the European map separately would cost you approximately $150 and the UK-only map runs about $99.
The 275T operation is fairly straight forward. It has all of the normal features that one would expect to find on a modern GPS unit to include a fairly robust POI (Point Of Interest) database loaded with gas stations, restaurants, airports etc... The touch screen works well and although the size is smaller, (3.5" vs 4.3" on some larger units), it was more than adequate to display all of the necessary information. The voice directions are very helpful, especially when driving in heavy traffic. Traffic updates in the US arrive via an FM transmitter in the charger cord, (in Europe you have to plug in an antenna wire which comes with the unit). You can also easily preload lots of destinations to your "favorites" on the device by using the Google map or Panoramio photo websites.
In the UK the 275T proved to be invaluable; you feel much freer to stray from the beaten path and do a bit of exploring knowing that your GPS will always get you to your appointed destination. The time to destination estimates were accurate and the routes were efficient. When initially turned on, the unit located satellites quickly and never lost the connection except when in parking garages, or tunnels. Sometimes when surrounded by lots of tall buildings, like in downtown London, the unit would appear to get confused about the direction in which it was pointing. Moving the car just a few dozen feet or so normally corrected this. The included Europe maps were very accurate with the exception of a new stretch of highway between Falkirk and Edinburgh which was not included on the map database. Road names, one-way streets, and parking areas were all up to date. I found the inclusion of "safety camera" locations, (read: "speed trap cameras"), to be very helpful; it even flashed a red warning when you exceed the speed limit in an area with a camera.
The only feature that I sometimes wish was included was a compass heading. If you just turn on the unit, but don't program in a destination, your directional heading, (North, East etc...), is displayed in the lower right hand corner. However when it's giving you directions, your estimated time to arrival takes up that area of the screen. Overall however, I thought the unit was great and I would recommend the 275T if your travels take you between North America and Europe on occasion. Renting a GPS with your car in the UK will typically add about $15 per day; use your 275T for a couple weeks and it's practically paid for itself.

Garmin Quest 2 Portable Weatherproof Handheld GPS with MapSource City Maps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok here is an expert review. I looked at speed in recalulating, speed in changing directions, voice and brightness. I give all a 4 to 5 rating.
1. The unit is slow recalulating, infact at times my GPS V was faster. Here is the trick. The memory(hd) is super large in this unit and all maps are install. All you have to do is go into the maps and uncheck the maps you do not need. I live on the east coast therefore I unchecked all westcoast, midwest and canada. Did speed test now unit is Twice as fast as my GPS V. Simple... When you need the other maps loaded just go in and check them.
Vocie is clear and loud. I am looking for a way to install into a fm modulator.
Screen is bright.
This unit is small and compact and works for me, I have a GPS 3plus, GPS V and now Quest 2 and use them all on diff. vehicles. and ATV. I recommed the Quest 2 over the 1 no need to carry a laptop anymore. Better then the Streetpilot and faster if you uncheck several unused maps.

If you're looking for a powerful companion to lead the way on your next road trip or your next trip across town, the Garmin Quest 2 is worth a serious look.

Plus, with a weight of just 5.5 ounces and a width of 4.5 inches, the unit is compact and transportable, making it easy to use wherever your travels take you.
The Quest 2's control pad has been designed to make it easy to make selections and switch between modes, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road. The bright, 2.2-by-1.5-inch display is readable in bright sunlight and features 240 x 160 pixel resolution. Both the display and the keypad are backlit for night driving. An included speaker attachment that is built into the 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter enables the Quest 2 to deliver voice prompts, while an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers 20 hours of power when you're outside your vehicle. A flip-up antenna that communicates with up to 12 GPS satellites is provided, as is a USB port for PC connectivity. There's also an MCX-type connector for hooking up an optional external GPS antenna. And if you need waterproofing, the Quest 2 is up to the challenge; it meets IEC 60529 IPX7 standards, which means it's submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
You can choose between a map view or a trip computer mode that provides a large speed display, odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. The Quest 2's route planner lets you save 50 routes and preview all the maneuvers you'll need to make on a given route. Plus, you can automatically sort multiple destinations to provide an efficient route for deliveries and sales calls. Or if you know where bad traffic exists, you can tell the device to avoid certain areas. And with the Quest 2's One-Button Home feature you can find the quickest route home no matter where you are.
Another time- and frustration-saving feature of the Quest 2 is the database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of uploading partial maps from your computer to your GPS device: the Quest 2 has them all built in. The unit comes preloaded with Garmin's highly detailed City Select NT street data of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest along your route is made easy with the Quest 2's huge built-in database of nearly six million hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to upload custom points of interest via a PC, as well as up to 500 waypoints with names, categories, comments, and graphic symbols. Last but not least, the Quest 2 has 140 MB of extra storage space for uploading supplemental Garmin map products like U.S. Topo, U.S. Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots, and BlueChart.

Lowrance iFinder GO Waterproof Hiking GPS (Yellow) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)[1 star - for some reason I cannot edit this feature]
I originally rated this 3 stars because of its price and basic qualities. I have to say that I regret that decision. I have used 5 of these units since September for my work with teenagers. The most recent time was the last straw. They are cheap, but you get what you pay for. I have had to resort to ten kids using my personal garmin etrex too many times.
-Cold start time is horrible, if it even does it at all.
-Lowrance did not see fit to include a manual on using advanced mode(You must print all 92 pages yourself online).
-I have set waypoints (which is very easy to do on this) and followed them back to find it wished me to go in the complete opposite direction when I was already 1000 feet away.
-The design is NOT intuitive and easy to follow, each page has its own menu with not much corssover for commands.
-The display is fairly clear, but small. Backlighting is real nice though.
Spend the extra money, buy the basic eTrex.

An affordable GPS navigator that includes all the features you need to get around, the Lowrance iFinder Go Handheld GPS+WASS Receiver is a great choice for hikers, cyclists, and road trippers. Simply plot a route via the easy-to-use keypad, and the iFinder Go follows the path precisely, with intuitive navigating that keeps you from veering off course.
The navigator is so reliable that its 16 parallel channel GPS and WAAS receiver is accurate to within several meters, making it a great fit for scavenger hunts as well as hikes.

You can also easily recalculate your trip route should you get distracted and lose your way, and thanks to the 32 MB of built-in memory, you can save and retrace up to 100 of your favorite plot trails, with up to 10,000 points in each path.
The device holds more than just previous routes, however. It also comes preloaded with a background map of the continental U.S. and Hawaii, with such features as coastal nav aids, wrecks, and obstructions. In addition, the device supports up to 1,000 waypoints, 1,000 event markers, and 100 routes. Users with a zest for detail will appreciate the 40 map zoom ranges (from 0.02 to 4,000 miles) and the 42 graphic icons used to mark special spots.
To top it off, the iFinder Go's bright yellow housing is waterproof, so you can use it in the rain or safely store it in your pack when rafting. Additional features include a 2-inch white LED backlit screen with 200 x 140 resolution, internal backup memory for storing your GPS data and settings, and a wrist-strap accessory. The pocket-sized unit measures 2.12 by 5.15 by 1.24 inches (W by H by D) and runs for up to 48 hours on two AA batteries (not included). It also includes a one-year warranty.
