The best GPS units on the market ... Great Features and Outstanding Support

Garmin makes the most reliable, accurate, and convenient GPS units on the market. They are also the best value for the price, and an even better value here on eBay. We have 10 drivers (including parents, aunts, children, and grandchildren) in our family; plus 4 friends; that all use Garmin GPS units. They include a 6 yr old C330, 1 Nuvi 255Ws, 2 Nuvi 265WTs, 4 Nuvi 1490Ts, 3 Nuvi 765Ts, 1 Nuvi 2597 & 1 2797. The 7xx series, 1490Ts, 2597 & 2797 are great for trips … they support multiple stops en-route, and they store up to 10 different routes - that you can create at your desk … while you plan your trip. The only bad review I saw on eBay included a comment that Google Maps route was I-5 to “the 610” to Whittier,CA; while Garmen used I-5 Exit 120. One omission and one problem: Google said the Exit 120 route was 20 minutes faster in traffic … and “the 610?” may be I-610 - the Houston, TX Loop, I-605 goes past Whittier, CA. This same reviewer claimed they couldn’t send Google Maps to either Garmin they tried. If they had searched on “Google Maps to Garmin” they would have found at least four references that tell you to: Download the FREE “GARMIN COMMUNICATOR PLUGGIN” from Garmin first You Can Send Google Maps Data To Your Garmin GPS In Less Than 3 Minutes 1.
