| Simplicity reigns with the Garmin nüvi 255W , a bare-bones GPS receiver equipped with a vivid, spacious 4.3-inch widescreen display. If you're looking for a simple GPS receiver that presents its navigation information in a clear and easily discernible way, than the Garmin nüvi 255W is the right pick for you. On top of it all, it's also extremely affordable. | The Garmin nüvi 765T uses its 4.3-inch widescreen display quite well, offering not only vivid maps for plotting directions, but also LaneAssist, a feature that actually shows you a picture of upcoming exits and intersections so you can position yourself in the proper lane. The 765T also provides 3D rendering of buildings in major cities, to help you better identify potential landmarks and points-of-interest. Garmin has also equipped the 765T with traffic updates via Navteq, which is free for as long as you own the receiver (though it is supported by some minor, unobtrusive advertisements). | The TomTom GO 930T is a glorious GPS receiver with a 4.3-inch widescreen, touchscreen display. This GPS receiver will give you plenty of viewing space to better ascertain your location and plot your course. The 930T isn't just for directions, however. It also comes with a free 1-year subscription to the Traffic Message Channel, which lets your 930T use real-time traffic updates (where available) to avoid congestion. |
Worth a Second Look
