Tips For Buying a Garmin GPS Unit
A few tips on buying a Garmin GPS unit can be quite helpful. The first thing to know about Garmin is that they sell almost half of the GPS units sold in the United States. They do this by offering quality products at a wide variety of price points.
The nuvi is their newer line of GPS devices. You can get a Garmin nuvi for anywhere from $150 to almost $900. That depth of product is great, but it does make selection a little hard sometimes.
In this article, I’m going to concentrate of their newer nuvi line, instead of their older StreetPilot line. The StreetPilots are great devices, it’s just that they’re being pushed aside by the sleeker, more feature-packed nuvis.
Okay, let’s divide the marketplace into three areas, low, medium, and high.
The nuvi 200 is Garmin’s entry level device. And, if you’re just interested in getting from point A to point B, the nuvi 200 might easily be the right one for you.
It’s got maps of the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. It can also double as a digital photo viewer.
If you want more features, you can spring for the nuvi 350. It does everything the nuvi 200 does and also adds maps of Canada. It can also actually tell you the street names of the streets you’re turning on. If you really want to pack on the features, consider the nuvi 660. All that leaves as far as your main features is multiple point routing. If you’re interested in this feature, the nuvi 760 is the one for you.
Or, if you want what is truly the most advanced, feature-laden Garmin GPS unit on the market, then spring for the nuvi 880.
