Which Is The Best GPS?
You're looking for the best GPS money can buy, so long as that money isn't going to break the bank. We've always been pleased with the Garmin nüvi line, especially the widescreen models with built-in Bluetooth and FM. The Garmin nuvi 760 has a 4.3" touch screen color backlit display, Bluetooth for hands-free calling and traffic broadcasts via "silent" FM data channel for intelligent routing based on traffic conditions.
So aside from the super easy to use intuitive interface and excellent performance in the Garmin nuvi line, what do we like best about this particular GPS? Once priced for $399 the nuvi 760 is currently on sale on Amazon for $199- which is what we paid for a measley nuvi 250W only a year ago!

Garmin nüvifone G60 ready to roll out

AT&T and Garmin’s partnership looks set to bear fruit from October 4th onwards after a seemingly long delay, where AT&T customers within the US will be able to place an order for the new Garmin nüvifone G60 that day. Make sure you mark your calendars if you’re interested in picking up one of these puppies, considering they’re useful to help you get around to your destination while talking to a friend who lives nearby, confirming all directions through a phone conversation. With the nüvifone G60, you will be able to enjoy one of the easiest-to-use location experiences available since it is currently the only phone in the world that will fully integrate the world’s best selling GPS navigator with voice, data and mobile web.You won’t find the nüvifone G60 wanting if you are heading off to unfamiliar territory, since it will feature similar core features as that of a high-end Garmin nüvi GPS navigation device, complete with maps and millions of points of interest (POI) for North America. Those who pick up the nüvifone G60 can rest assured they’re thoroughly equipped to use the device as an in-car navigation unit, where it will come with a dashboard and windshield mount. The device itself can be comfortably mounted in the car or detached for portable navigational use whenever you park and decide to take a brisk walk to your destination – also, it prevents tempting folks from breaking into your car at the same time.The nüvifone boasts a “Where am I?” feature, letting you obtain your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, nearest address, intersection, hospital, police station and gas station with but a single touch of the screen. Apart from that, you can also use the G60 to mark the position of where you parked your car (by virtue of its last removed place from the windshield mount), making it ideal for folks who can’t remember where they parked their car in a sprawling parking lot. Expect to fork out $299 for the nüvifone G60 after a $100mail-in rebate and agreeing to a 2-year contract.

TomTom XL 340S LIVE
TomTom has just unveiled its latest GPS navigation system, the TomTom XL 340S LIVE. This model comes after seeing the huge success of TomTom’s LIVE Services on the premium TomTom GO range, where the same LIVE service will also be implemented into the TomTom XL 340S LIVE. Being connected to the LIVE service, it will make sure your XL 340S LIVE will offer you the very best that the industry has to offer in terms of routing, helping drivers take control of their daily drive through the automatic delivery of helpful features such as Local Search powered by Google, real-time traffic information, TomTom Fuel Price Service, TomTom Weather and QuickGPSfix.It is interesting to note that the Local Search will be powered by Google, where it will allow you to search with better pomp and vigor. Apart from that, the TomTom XL 340S LIVE will be able to take advantage of millions of Points of Interest which have already been pre-loaded onto the machine itself, where you can also access numerous shops and businesses via TomTom’s LIVE Services regardless of where you are, navigating there in the most optimal way possible. With TomTom’s exclusive IQ Routes technology, you can be sure to get to your destination in the greenest way possible, where routes are calculated based on historical speed measurements for every time of day and for every road segment, ranging from large highways to small local roads. You will find the TomTom XL 340S LIVE to wirelessly receive real-time traffic speed and incident reports automatically within intervals of two to five minutes. All traffic delays can be heard audibly and shown on the screen as well so that your co-driver can also have a look at it just in case you are pre-occupied in other more important matters. Knowing just how high fuel prices have gone up during the last couple of years, it would also be nice to know just where the best buys are where fuel prices are concerned within your immediate area. The new TomTom XL 340S will retail for $299.95 and comes with three months of LIVE Services.
