|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | rtrend | Garmin LV 775 | Voice activated controls. Hema maps. | User defines POI's are difficult to find. | 6 |
| 2 | susanhoyer | px3 android 10.25 headunit | has touch screen and is HD. | very slow start up, and freezers any so offten. | 7 |
| 3 | chris.hall095 | Garmin 76CSx | Great for bush walking, offroad 4x4 ,have multiple maps, TOPO , Blue water, Navigator | Unable to update map versions via Internet, older version GPS using Maps from CD/DVD unlock code only valid on one GPs | 7 |
| 4 | Michael5 | Garmin DriveSmart 61 | Fantasic Display, DBT+ traffic information | In comparison to my old Navigon70 it's a low level sat-nav! Only a few options to choose (routing, display and so on) Sometimes a very strange routing. | 5 |
| 5 | Bernd0511 | TomTom Go950 Live | It is very easy to use, you have the possibility to take a Memorycard in a slot, so you have mutch more availible space | This device are not very quick, if you have a long trip and leave the Route it takes very long since you get the new Route | 6 |
| 6 | desric | MIO SPIRIT 8500 LM | Très bon gps
Idéal pour plusieurs étapes |
Autonomie très courte max 1/2 heure | 7 |
| 7 | moneill | Zumo 396 | Very fast satellite acquisition. Allows perfect placement on a motorcycle. Seems well built and the cradle is very secure. Very good option for the price | Small display gets very crowded when adding visible data that you really want to add. Bluetooth seems to only connect to BT 3.0 devices. The lack of main screen shortcuts is frustrating. | 5 |
| 8 | timshaw61 | Garmin Camper 760 | Easy to use - good features | Depite being a Motorhome device it insists on select inappropriate routes for the class of vehicle. Little shortcuts through tiny roads etc. | 4 |
| 9 | goranjan | Garmin nuvi 2555LMT | About 3.5 stars. Sometimes get confused. Sometimes gives wrong instructions. | Voice is horrible, not sounding human | 6 |
| 10 | rich.bell65 | Generic 7 inch Igo Primo | This GPS has a large screen that is easy to read while driving. Plays mp3 music. Transmits on FM radio. | FM radio produces high pitch tone. GPS could announce turns sooner or say THIS instead of NEXT. | 6 |
| 11 | mike.stevenson | Garmin Drive 51 LMT-S | Not had it long - 3 weeks but has everything I need. | Creating new POI categories and being able to sort them. Favourites are limited to about 1000 and I need a lot more than that. As a delivery driver I log each new address I go to (businesses and house names) to make then easy to find next time I need to go. | 7 |
| 12 | chrisjknight | Nomu S10 phone | Great battery life, bright screen. | GPS can lose position at times | 6 |
| 13 | hancock.patrick | Garmin Nuvi 2495 | Love my Garmin Nuvi 2495. | Road Updates changed but don't keep old road names as easy reference. | 9 |
| 14 | sukhdeep71 | Garmin Nuvi 3760T | Slim and High Resolution Display | No Ability to Connect to a Backup Camera | 7 |
| 15 | davidbond007 | Vw Discover Pro | great infotainment system | missing speed camera alerts and postcode destination search | 8 |
| 16 | efjebert | Seicane in car model for Mazda | Excellent map / picture clarity and good audio system. | A little slow to load navigation and plug in DAB tends to drop out in spasms. No plug in SD card and difficult to update maps and software. | 7 |
| 17 | jbackman | Garmin Nuvi 2789LM | Intersection routing is superb | often chooses less than desirable routes and must be taught: | 8 |
| 18 | joseph.b.kao | Garmin Nuvi 2599 | Responsive, bright touchscreen.
Generally sensible route plotting, and smartphone link works fine. It's served us well for nearly two years, and only frozen once en route. Clear maps, clear directions, with free traffic updates. |
Live search only works intermittently (it originally worked fine). Speed cameras have stopped consistently showing up after recent update, which is something we're still trying to fix. Garmin Express can be a bit of a pain for updates, and it's extremely fussy about which USB wire you use to connect it with. Hours have been lost wrestling with the updates process on occasion. | 7 |
| 19 | wallace_chui | Uniden R3 | Good radar detector with less false alarms | Only with gps POI in US, need to further upload database for other countries. | 7 |
| 20 | david.t.king | Garmin Nuvi 2350LMT | Power automatically connected when put in car stand. | POI directions are always shown as if the vehicle is facing north when vehicle is not in motion (e.g. sitting in a rest area trying to find a place for lunch. Very difficult to determine if a restaurant is in your direction of travel. | 6 |
| 21 | xgarys | TomTom 620 Go Wifi | Large screen, great mounting method | Very complicated and difficult to set up and use while driving, customer service is polite but acts like they know nothing about the product | 3 |
| 22 | jeff.morgans | Tomtom Trucker 6000LTE | Lifetime speed amera and traffic updates via inbuilt sim card. Lifetime map updates. | Does not show details of restriction ie low bridges narrow roads etc on screen. | 4 |
| 23 | jmerralls | Garmin Drive 61 LM | Simple Basic easy to use. | No Live traffic Option unless you by a transmitter. | 6 |
| 24 | m_holyoak4 | Garmin Nuvi 54 | Easy to use, and load poi's | Only has fastest, or shortest routes. Fastest often includes narrow, twisty roads, that are difficult, and can't possibly be the fastest. | 5 |
| 25 | cruzadojacinto | mercedes map pilot | this is the official model provided by Mercedes@2016, it's GARMIN and admit GPI files. Main strength is very nice voice recognizer | POIs part is very limited, there is categories but can be shown either all or none, no possible to select which category you wish to show. Indeed no messages or sounds, wav, mp3 files can be associated or maybe it possible but not instructions at all. | 4 |
| 26 | mad.donkster | Garmin Nuvi 2757lm | Best user interface, easily updatable, POI easy to manage. | The touch screen is your typical resistive POS. I wish there were more settings - the ability to really tweak everything. | 7 |
| 27 | pcitgrp | Garmin Nuvi 2517LM | This is a fantastic SATNAV. I've never had any problems with it and it's accuracy and speed are great. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. | I can't think of any weaknesses that this model has other than the fact that I can no longer find different voices for it. | 9 |
| 28 | ryanjames132001 | tomtom / samsung | mostly use smart phone for Tom tom which works well when signal is not the best, location map constantly updating | downsides, map downloads can often crash and completely break the current download version, not all postcodes show, i.e my postcode not showing. | 7 |
| 29 | philip.brain | VW Discover Pro | Built in as part of a multimedia system. | Directions at junctions are not as intuitive as some other systems as they lack detail. | 6 |
| 30 | robert.leary | iPhone 6 | The phone is very slim and light weight with a high resolution screen. It still keeps a good charge, even after 2 years of use. MS Office 365 apps and many others work well and seamlessly integrate with my iPad and standard PC. | Although I believe iPhones are the best on the market, their price is high, yet I can't seem to do without one. Also, I have had three screens break and the cost to replace is a $100. | 9 |
| 31 | waynebondhushmail | tomtom start 50 | Good all rounder, gets you from A to B | Great for standard vehicles. Not good for large vehicles, i.e. trucks and such. | 9 |
| 32 | daniel.leuenberger | Clarion 502E | Has lots of advanced functionalities, from different angle camera views, DAB, USB, SDHC, DVD/CD, etc. | Not always working stable | 6 |
| 33 | brsed1 | Garmin RV660LMT | easy to use, large, loud | RV sizing keeps it off roads it can take easily | 8 |
| 34 | malcolmdean1988 | Garmin nuvi 2597LMT | large 7 display for motorhome use, large clear icons for turns etc. | North up map view not available as permanent mode whilst driving (I prefer in strange territory). Speed limit indication not always visible when start-up is between speed limit road signs (only used for 1 week to date). | 7 |
| 35 | prolecata | Garmin dash cam 35 | Good video, good alerts, easy to use. | Hard wiring is difficult because of mass storage alert from the usb. | 7 |
| 36 | niel.ocarroll | Garmin 3590LM | Pretty good, all the bells and whistles, if you need them. | Currently cannot understand some of the routes it takes me on. Think there is probably a setting issue | 7 |
| 37 | dulanweerasinha | TomTom XL | Has proved to be robust and reliable over the years, and easy maintenance. | Wish it had a proper firmware-upgradable architecture. | 6 |
| 38 | grognotcrepy | Garmin Nuvi 3597 LM | Very nice and thin case
Ease of use Fast calculations Advanced use : easy to transfer maps, personal POIs and so on (better than TomTom devices) |
Price (350 euros). But the quality is here.. | 7 |
| 39 | gidat1 | garmin drive 50 | Has a voice command. Also smart phone connection with blue tooth. Works very well | too sensitive to touch7 | 6 |
| 40 | larry.pullen4 | Garmin Smartdrive 60 | The Speed is Good
The Ease of use is brilliant Has free Life Time Map and Speed Camera Updates |
3D Buildings could be added | 8 |
| 41 | rob.walker | Garmin Nuvi 265W | Gets me to customers other devices cant find | Lack of lane guidance | 6 |
| 42 | wlibert4 | Garmin Navigator | On the 2017 Honda CR-V the satellite linked navigation display it incredible | Honda/Garmin severely crippled the system by not providing access to an SD card slot as well as no method to create and save custom points of interest | 1 |
| 43 | richard-PDB-GPS44 | Garmin GSP nuvi 3597 | Very clear directions, screen and turn/exit directions. Very good voice directions. Rapid recalculation. Excellent accuracy of map database. | Entering addresses is absolutely quirky and often frustrating: occasionally it's easy and straightforward, but commonly one needs to pick the correct abbreviation for AV/AVE/Avenue, ST/Street/str, etc. No easy possibility of modifying a suggested route, ala Google maps dragging a route. | 4 |
| 44 | roopam.kaur4 | Garmin Nuvi 2589LMT | Voice Command, Bluetooth, Mapings and Spoken Directions and Lifetime free maps | Safety alerts need to be subscribed. | 6 |
| 45 | alanon.sr3 | Garmin nuvi 2595lmt | largely accurate, reliable. Voice Commands works very nicely. | LMT services only useful for interstate driving. Be nice to have that work for local major roads as well. | 7 |
| 46 | tammytrans14 | nuvi 2699LMTHD | Has voice command and provides hands-free for my mobile (which I rarely use while driving, so it does not interfere with navigation audio. | Traffic cable does not have an USB port, so it occupies my older vehicle's only electrical source. | 7 |
| 47 | donovan | Garmin Zumo 595LM | Awesomely fast to process, start up and get on with. Built to take updates and well thought out unit. | Weight could be less and a lockable mount for motorcycle could be standard | 8 |
| 48 | ebu44 | Garmin Drive 60 | Nice big screen, great flexibility with what you see on the screen, traffic is a good feature, handy to have lifetime free map updates, knows the school zone times, tells you your next two moves when they are close together | Doesn't know local speed limits (50km/hr), just bongs for overspeed and bongs for speed camera (no spoken warnings), no ability to tell it what amount over the speed limit you want the bong to happen at, doesn't speak the speed limit to you when you are over speed, doesn't show you your next two movements on screen, maps are out of date (speed changes from over a year ago still not reflected), speed camera data is poor - unless you pay $40 per year to subscribe to their service (which is still lacking compared to GPS Data Team). | 4 |
| 49 | quranp44 | TomTom | Large screen and customization in the menu options. | File transfer, routing options, POI customization | 5 |
| 50 | msmith5242 | Garmen 2589LMT | Voice activation seems to work well. | Ships with insufficient memory | 5 |
