Great GPS solution at an affordable price.

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Streetpilot III is about the most economical and practical automotive GPS unit on the market today.
Review: When I bought my new car, I considered getting a GPS unit. I had three choices:

1) You can buy the manufacture unit with the car. In my case, BMW charges $1800 the unit, which replaces the in-dash CD player (you get a cassette unit in lieu...

Don't Get Lost--It's Reliable, Accurate, and Worth the Money

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent midlevel GPS unit, a great choice for anyone from first-time users to experienced. Worth the higher price.
Review: My husband has an in-dash GPS unit that came standard with his car, so I'd become familiar with the technology and seen how handy it was to have a GPS. As a woman who drives alone to and from work in heavy, often detoured traffic, it was important...

Very accurate and fast GPS

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy this one, there are no better ones. But it need some improvements to be perfect. I Pay $330 brand new on Ebay.
Review: I had the opportunity to play with a PDA with GPS incorporated, I have it for 1 month aprox.
So I added to it the Tom Tom software and I felt in love with the idea of a GPS on my car.

Then I found my wife one of those days and .......

What tourists should get when renting a car

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: Good for tourist. Should be available at rental car as it is too bulky to carry.
Review: Last March I and my family went to Sydney, Australia for the first time. I brought along my little wonder eTrex Legend GPS and was very sure that I'll never get lost.

I was wrong, my eTrex Legend does not have Sydney map and even though I...

Why Didn't I Purchase This Gem Sooner?

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you've been thinking about getting a GPS I would highly recommend getting this one!
Review: After a few years of phone calls to my husband asking him where I was after I'd gotten myself lost going to appointments in the middle of downtown Denver or calling him to ask him to check traffic on the highway because I was frustrated at going 5...

Best portable automobile GPS to date!

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you need a portable automobile GPS. This is a great choice! I wish the suction cup is stronger, but that's my only complaint.
Review: I have owned more than 4 portable automobile GPS including:

- Garmin StreetPilot III
- Mio 168 Pocket PC with Destinator1 software
- PocketPC with OnCourse Navigator
- Garmin c550

This is the first truly usable and...

Lifesaver for sales people

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would be in the store to replace it in a heartbeat if it broke. Best money I ever spent.
Review: I am admittedly directionally challenged. When I took a new position doing on site software training throughout New England, what worried me most about the new job was getting lost.

After 2-3 times getting confused or mislead by Mapquest...

Sewing machine of my dreams

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a wonderful tool. If you prefer construction and finesse over decorative work, then buy this machine. It's a great investment.
Review: I've gone through several machines to arrive at the Bernina 1008. I still have my first mechanical machine, a Babylock, because I still love it. It's basic and solid. I've tried two computerised machines (a Pfaff Tiptronic and a Babylock Espire) but...

An Intuitive Personal Nav Device

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: For $129 I'd buy again.
Review: I bought this unit, not because it was my first choice (Garmin 800 series was it), but because the deal was too good to pass on. It had all of the major features of the upscale unit, but for hundreds of dollars less. I have had it for a week and...

Fabulous GPS--just get it on sale!

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great GPS unit, easy to use, trustworthy brand.
Review: While I was looking at GPS units to buy my parents as a present, my boyfriend bought himself a Streetpilot c550. We used it to get from rural Quebec to Montreal. Admittedly, I'm a map kinda girl, so I was skeptical--but by the time we arrived at our...
