Garmin has been known as a tool maker Global Positioning System (GPS), as well as the Asus which sounded louder in the PC industry. But in the event they declare CommunicAsia 2009 in collaboration with the launch of their GPS phones.

There are two products launched this deadly duo, the Nuvifone M20 and G60. Though derived from the same manufacturer, but both these products have a ‘mecca’ different.

Nuvi 260W and the Forerunner 305 is entrusted to use the operating system Windows Mobile Professional 6.1, while the ‘brother’ – G60 – pinned to the Linux operating system.

Sounds strange indeed. The reason for these two operating systems that have understood exactly the opposite. Windows Mobile represents a fixed circle believed proprietary closed-system, while Linux brings open systems.

Apart from the polemic operating system, both products are equally rely on touch-screen capabilities. While a reliable feature of its name, which features a digital map (GPS).

For this one matter, Asus clearly entrust to the partner, Garmin. Beyond providing digital map users are, in the second GPS device is also capable of making a sound to remind user to take the next step.

There was also a feature ‘Where am I? ” is able to show the way for users who are lost. Enough with one click, a place where you are when it will be tracked and displayed on the phone screen Asus concoction.

Even so, a collection of maps on this phone would need to be updated because not all the state maps are provided. What is certain maps fixed phones tailored to the region it was sold. If you then want to be updated can be done via the Garmin website. Unfortunately not free, there is the cost that accompanies it.

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Watch

One of the GPS function is also quite interesting is the ability to track the movement and speed of the move. This function makes a tool like an interesting sport that is offered by the Garmin Forerunner 305 is.

Although more capable Garmin Forerunner 305 but it looks much like most sports watches. This natural form of a special appeal because it makes users feel uncomfortable not to wear watches that look strange. There is a black color options if you do not want this watch looks strikingly while if you want a funky look, green is the only alternative other than black.

To access the functions of the Garmin Forerunner 305 you can use a circle around the clock is actually touch sensitive buttons. In this circle there are four labels with the words, GPS, time / date, training, and menus.

The way the operation of GPS watches are also quite easy but if you want to really understand with all the functions of the Garmin Forerunner 305 so you have to flip through the included manual because many functions that can not be understood simply by trial and error alone.

What is the best garmin gps system

Is the best Garmin GPS system for sale? Well, recently had the Consumer Reports article about the best overall and Garmin GPS systems have four systems on their list.

This article will discuss the four systems and also offers some comments on some other systems Garmin GPS that does not make their way to the Consumer Reports’ list.

Consumer Reports is the best overall system Garmin Nuvi 260W. I can not help but agree! Nuvi 760 currently sells for slightly less than $ 400, but has tons of features highly.

50 maps have all the United States and Canada. In addition, equipped with Bluetooth capability for hands-free calls, both MSN traffic FM traffic bulletin or newsletter (by subscription), you actually tell the names of the street you want to activate, and besides all that, you can enter more than one goal at a time into the device. Will calculate the best route to include all in one destination!

Garmin with a reputation for quality, hard to beat this.

However, there’s more!

Consumer Reports also mentioned the Nuvi 660, Nuvi 350 and Nuvi 260W.

Who sells about 660 $ 50 less than 760. This is all that is not 760 routes except for a few points.

In addition, both Nuvi 760 and Nuvi 660 comes with larger, 4. 3-inch screen to see more easily.

Nuvi 350 which is a model of the small screen. Its screen is only 3. 5-inch screen, but many of the largest in the state. There is no Bluetooth, but if you do not make many calls while driving, you may not need Bluetooth. Nuvi 350 is still telling you the name of the street, and still get traffic with FM newsletter subscriptions.

What is so hard to believe now is that you can get all this for less than $ 200!

Garmin final product called Consumer Reports is the Garmin Nuvi 260W. Frankly, I’m not sure how to make 260 pieces.

There is little difference between the Nuvi 260 and Nuvi 350, and in case design. Nuvi 350 is actually a rather old and has a little antenna design on the back flap.

Some people do not like the antenna. He never noticed me, though. Nuvi 260 that does not exist. It’s got the sleeker designs where the antenna is integrated into the case.

(The same is true for the nuvi 760 and 660, by the way. They have a sleeker, new design with an antenna that does not appear.)

With all that said, unless a large antenna is a problem with you, nuvi 350 is a handle whale!

There are other Garmin GPS for sale system that is not mentioned in Consumer Reports’ article. Nuvi 200 is their entry level device. He only sold about $ 150.

The nuvi 880, on the other hand, they are state of the art, which edged device sells for close to $ 900!
