What Are The Best Garmin Gps Systems For Sale?
What are the best Garmin GPS systems for sale? Well, Consumer Reports recently had an article about the best overall GPS systems and Garmin had four systems on their list.
This article is going to discuss those four systems and also offer a few comments on some other Garmin GPS systems that didn’t make their way onto Consumer Reports’ list.
Consumer Reports best overall system was the Garmin nuvi 760. I can’t help but agree! The nuvi 760 is currently selling for slightly less than $400, yet it has a ton of great features.
It has maps of all 50 United States and Canada. Also, it comes with Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling, either MSN traffic bulletins or FM traffic bulletins (with subscription), actually tells you the names of the street it wants you to turn on, and in addition to all that, you can enter more than one destination at a time into the device. It will calculate the best route to include all your destinations on one trip!
With Garmin’s reputation for quality, it’s hard to beat all of this.
But, there’s more!
Consumer Reports also mentioned the nuvi 660, nuvi 350, and the nuvi 260.
The 660 sells for about $50 less than the 760. It does everything the 760 does except the multiple point routing.
Also, both the nuvi 760 and the nuvi 660 come with the larger, 4.3-inch screens for easier viewing.
The nuvi 350 is a smaller screen model. Its screen is only a 3.5-inch screen, but that’s plenty big in most circumstances. It doesn’t have Bluetooth, but if you don’t make a lot of calls while driving, you might not need Bluetooth. The nuvi 350 still tells you street names, and it still gets FM traffic bulletins with subscription.
What’s so hard to believe is you can now get all of this for less than $200!
The last Garmin product Consumer Reports mentioned was the nuvi 260. Frankly, I’m not sure why the 260 made the cut.
There’s a slight difference between the nuvi 260 and the nuvi 350 and that is in the design of the case. The nuvi 350 is actually a somewhat older design and it has that little antenna flap on the back.
Some people don’t like that antenna thing. It never bothered me, though. The nuvi 260 doesn’t have that. It’s got the sleeker design where the antenna in fully integrated into the case.
(The same is true for the nuvi 760 and 660, by the way. They both have that sleeker, newer design with the antenna that doesn’t show.)
With all of that said, unless the antenna is a big issue with you, the nuvi 350 is a whale of a deal!
There are other Garmin GPS systems for sale that were not mentioned in Consumer Reports’ article. The nuvi 200 is their entry level device. It sells for only about $150.
The nuvi 880, on the other hand, is their state of the art, cutting edge device, which sells for close to $900!
