Epinions A great way to safely locate your U.S. destination, near or far

by  califtonjgirl,  May 14, 2004
Pros: Excellent clear direction, audio won't take your eyes off of road, color graphics, large type
Cons: Can be a distraction, must be removed from car while parked (people steal these), expensive
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this item to anyone who is driving to, through or has moved to a new area/state, the "direction-impaired", solo drivers or anyone who prefers travel by car.
Review: My husband and I recently moved to a new state from California...the roads are old and confusing. I found it challenging and thus, daunting to find a location outside of my home area. Printing out driving directions wasn't much help, especially ...

Epinions Get a Garmin StreetPilot 2620 and never ask for directions again.

by  peterskm,  Nov 9, 2005
Pros: Portable, easy to use.
Cons: Hard drive storage could be troublesome if you drop it.
The Bottom Line: If you want a nice, easy-to-use portable GPS system this is it.
Review: When I bought my new car, I passed on the GPS system from the factory. As the next year wore on, I was regretting it. One option was to purchase the factory system at about $1500 or get an aftermarket unit. With the aftermarket choice, you have to ...

Epinions Very Easy To Use, Great Performance, Good Price

by  kerton,  Jan 28, 2005
Pros: Fast processor, touchscreen, easy to use, intuitive, flexible configurations. Map data pre-installed in the device.
Cons: Will often lose satellite signal in cities with tall buildings, or in dense forest.
The Bottom Line: Not a lot of products meet my approval. The Garmin 2620 is one of those products that I can recommend to friends, and be sure they'll remain friends.
Review: Considering getting GPS in your next car? Impressed by the system your friend has in his buff new car? Did you know he paid about $2,000 for that option, but you can get almost the same functionality for about $700, and use it in multiple cars and rental ...

Epinions Agree 98% wonderful

by  mpjacobs,  Oct 29, 2006
Pros: Accurate addresses & routing, excellent touchscreen interface, good software updates, durable.
Cons: Weak power cable shoe, tight traffic cable, can't reprogram road-speed assumptions.
The Bottom Line: YES - I drive 30 properties a day throughout urban and rural Southeast Florida, and work mine to death without mistakes and very few addresses not found.
Review: As a commercial real estate appraiser I *LIVE* on mine, often seeing 30 properties in a day between Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. It is a huge improvement over prior models I've owned - especially the free software updates and overall ...

Epinions Excellent unit, bought a refurbished unit

by  tdurham,  May 30, 2006
Pros: Easy to use, accurate, and well worth the money (buy a refurbished unit we did)

Review: I bought this unit for my wife 6 months ago for Christmas. Never written a review so I hope this is helpful to those reading it. I will do the Con first since it is real short. Cons: I am very computer literate and I just had some initial problems ...

Epinions What a Blast!!

by  stevenpratt,  Jun 8, 2004
Pros: Everything
Cons: Just remember to remove it from your dash while parked...
The Bottom Line: If you need navigational assistance and can afford the coin, buy it. You will NEVER be lost again.... Period...
Review: I drive approximately 45K miles per year as a salesman in the North East and have been considering purchasing a navigation system for a while now. I tried linking my laptop to a hand-held receiver and using Streets 2002 to navigate to only find that ...

Epinions Used it a week now, and it's going great!

by  arkaycee,  Nov 2, 2004
Pros: Easy, convenient, no instructions needed for the basics; accurate maps so far.
Cons: *Really* wants you to go in the direction you're moving; No internal power supply
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you drive a lot!
Review: I'll only talk about some things here I've not seen mentioned or at least emphasized in some of the other reviews here, most of which I think are right on target. I couldn't be home when UPS came for me to sign for it, so I had to pick it up at UPS ...

Epinions Excellent value

by  germann1,  Sep 24, 2006
Pros: The entire US is in the unit. You do not have to constantly download routes.
Cons: The inability to speak the street and route names. No automatic rerouting for traffic/weather.
Review: I purchased the unit in July '04. With exception of a couple of learning routes (going a mile out of my way to get there faster does work), I have nothing but good to say about my 2620. All features work perfectly as the directions explain. I ...

Cons: They do need to up date the maps & correct which side of road.
