Garmin continues to redefine the leading edge of vehicle GPS systems, and with the 800 series they’ve succeeded again with a truly hands-off GPS that accepts your voice commands, and does so accurately and intuitively. CNN/Money describes it as "…the most advanced speech recognition system on a personal navigation device to date." According to U.S. News & World Report, "you won’t be disappointed with the Garmin nuvi 880." Not only has Garmin set the bar higher with the 880, but once again, redefines the vehicle GPS as we’ve known it.

Garmin nuvi 205, 205W, 255, 255W Vehicle GPS: REVIEW

If you’re a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices — really good choices — in the top-rated nuvi line, Garmin’s not about to make your decision any easier. The 2×5 series, including the 205, 205W, 255 and 255W adds so many features to the 200 series that the term "entry level" just might not cut it any more. In fact, the 205/205W and 255/255W incorporate both higher-end features as well as features not even seen in some of their higher-end siblings. The result is a product that is marketed as an entry-level system, but in fact has a solid mid-level feature set, earning the 2×5 series even stronger marks than the popular 200 series.

Garmin has not stopped to rest following its successes with the immensely popular (and deservedly so) nuvi line. With the introduction of the 700 series, Garmin has redefined its top-shelf category, borrowing the sleek good looks of its entry-level nuvi 200 series, but packing it with its high-end features of the 600 series, and then some. The 760 has earned top honors from a number of reviewers, including Editor’s Choice from PC Magazine, which states, "The 760 sports a trimmer, slicker design and adds a number of cool new features and welcome refinements to the top-rated 600 series."

When you get it right, you get it right, and Garmin really got it right with the nüvi 360, the successor to the popular and highly-rated nüvi 350. It’s not often that we award a 5-star rating, but the nuvi 360 has achieved a sensible yet powerful blend of features and implemented them masterfully. In addition, the nuvi is as portable as GPS units in this league get, and a real looker at that. The 360 inherits all of the 350’s features and adds Bluetooth capability.

Garmin’s StreetPilot c-Series introduced us to a welcome marriage of strong technical features with unprecedented ease of use. Just a few months later, with the nüvi 350, Garmin has taken its blending of form and function to a new level, offering an elegant yet essential travel tool to the traveler. Already receiving accolades in Europe (“It’s just brilliant,” says Global Positioning Systems in the U.K.) where its release has preceded that in North America, the slim 5-ounce nüvi 350 is sure to find its niche among frequent travelers who may find themselves finding their way through heavy traffic in Chicago on Tuesday and navigating the narrow sidewalks of Rome on Wednesday, with access to a spoken Italian Language Guide to boot (along with 8 other languages) along your stroll.

We were still breathless after our 5-star review of Garmin’s nuvi 360 when Garmin announced what is much more than just a wide-screen version of the 360. Yes, Garmin has managed to do itself one better with the nuvi 660, with several new features that are smart and elegantly implemented, so much so as to inspire some owners to call it “the iPod of GPS navigation systems.” CNet’s editors say, “the Garmin Nuvi 660 is the ultimate traveler’s tool” and PC Magazine calls it, “the best in the shirt-pocket GPS category.”

Garmin has an answer to Magellan’s highly rated RoadMate 700 and its name is the StreetPilot c330, which immediately got the attention of no less than Time Magazine (Gadget of the Week), Forbes Magazine, and CNET. Owners rave that at last there’s a GPS that works right out of the box. It’s small, portable, completely touch-screen controlled, and takes simplicity to a new level for Garmin, which has always held a stellar reputation for producing powerful GPS units.

The second generation of Garmin’s popular StreetPilot c-series brings key upgrades to already top-rated products, leading Time Magazine to say, “The new Garmin StreetPilot c550 is the best portable navigation product on the market.” PC Magazine states, ” …the bevy of new features make the price premium a no-brainer.” We agree. We credit 2005’s Garmin StreetPilot c330 with ushering in a new era in consumer in-vehicle GPS systems. Why? The StreetPilot c-series brought what the GPS world at the time lacked the most — ease of use.
