Top Five Holiday Gifts for Men

It happens every year, ladies. We rummage through the stores searching for the perfect gift for that special someone in our lives . . . and fifty percent of the time, we come away empty handed and disappointed.

Men are notoriously difficult to buy for and many times that’s because we women just don’t speak their language. What they might see as an awesome gift, we often times pass by because it’s not appealing to us. If this sounds familiar, fret no longer. We have composed our top five favorite holiday gifts for your guy – each has received the “male stamp of approval”.

1.      Gears of War 2

For the boyfriend who refuses to grow up, Gears of War 2 is at the top of every gamer’s   wish list this year. The newest war game to hit the shelves, it combines strategic thinking        with interactive gaming, allowing him to play online with his buddies and do a little    smack talking.

2.      GPS Navigation System

For the stubborn hubby who would rather ride in circles than stop and ask for directions,   the GPS Navigation System will get him to that job interview on time or to that new            sports bar across town with time to spare. The Garmin nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigator is compact and comes bundled with photo viewer, world travel clock and MP3/audiobook player. With the pre-loaded maps of U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, he will never be lost again.

3.      Homedics - Shiatsu Pillow

The perfect gift for the stressed out spouse or friend who works one too many nine to       fives - this pillow cradles the neck and kneads away the stress of a long days work. With       every benefit of a real massage, you might just find yourself stealing it away when he’s   not looking!

4.      The Wii

The perfect gaming experience for the young and young at heart, the Wii provides an experience unlike any other. He can have a light saber fight with his youngest son or even exercise right along to the Wii . . . and all without leaving the comfort of the living room. More than just being a game machine, the Wii also provides infotainment – i.e. both information and entertainment suitable for every member of the family.

5.      Apple Ipod Touch Screen 16 GB

For the techie guy on your list, the newest Ipod brings along with it all the modern            technology we have come to know and expect from Apple. From music and video to photos and everything in between, this Ipod does it all effortlessly. With a capacity for 3,500 songs, 20 hours of video or 10,000 photos, he will never be bored again.

When it comes to buying for men, remember to keep your recipient in mind. Although you may think he would look super cute in those new modern skinny jeans, he might not think so. Put yourself in his shoes and you’re sure to find a gift he will adore.

72 Garmin GPS - Best Navigation Aid For Mariners

In the field of marine navigation technology, the best you can have is the next generation basic 72 gps Garmin entry level system. You can never go wrong with this handy little device. It provides a low-cost but reliable solution for marine or land navigation. Its next generation technology gives you precise gps positioning by the use of correction data that it obtains from the System of Wide Area Augmentation (WAAS). Its position accuracy provided while receiving WAAS corrections is never more than three meters. This small unit offers a grayscale 4-level screen and is waterproof, tough and impossible to sink.

The most appealing attribute of this 72 Garmin gps for everyone is that it is lightweight and portable, with an in-built antenna. It has a screen and keypad which is backlit so that you have no difficulty in using it in darker conditions. It has a surprising number of 500 user waypoints complete with graphic symbols and names. It also has 50 reversible routes with different types of position formats as well as audible alarms when you use it for marine navigation for anchor drag, on your arrival at the destination, when you veer off-course and waypoints for proximity and a clock.

The display of this 72 garmin gps consists of easy-to-view large numbers and internal memory of a full megabyte to enable you to upload Map Source interest points. These are fabulous when using a navigation aid because then you can locate certain places which might interest you. The interest points enlist gas stations, toll booths, restaurants and hotels, school zones and a lot more. You can use all these points either to avoid them, or stop at them if desired.

Once you enter a destination in your 72 garmin gps, it is saved. You won’t have to put it in again when you visit that place again after some time. All you have to do is to re-trace the path in both ways without wasting any more time for locating it again. You can not only have these pre-set destinations in your system of 72 garmin gps, but also re-enter any number of new destinations to be used when you decide to visit them again.

A gps system in itself is a great aid for navigation. But when you opt for a Garmin product, the experience is truly great for then you have an amazing company backing you through their product sold to you. This company stands behind what it sells. So rest assured that you are getting the best when you price this 72 garmin gps. We guarantee your happiness and surprise at the nifty little device you have in your hands.

Garmin Portable Gps Devices

February 25th 2007

garmin portable gps devices


Garmin nuvi 250 Portable GPS Navigation Device

Which is the better GPS Device?

1.) Magellan GPS Navigator, RoadMate 1200
2.) Magellan - RoadMate 1212 Portable GPS
3.) TomTom ONE 125
4.) Garmin 3.5″ Nuvi 200 GPS
5.) Mio Moov 200 GPS Navigator

Please do not name any other ones other than the ones I have listed.

I have the tomtom, and actually dont like it at all, but my grandmother has the Garmin and we used it to go to New York, and it was wonderful. I loved it, it is soooo easy to use, and it is so quick at recalculating if you miss a turn or something it recalculates a new rout for you in seconds, and my Tom tom doesnt do that it takes forever, and its very complicated to use. Im not a big technology person, so I like things that are easy to use, so in my own experience the Garmin Nuvi is the best, and ive actually heard alot of other people say the exact same thing. My cousin has the magellen and I think she had it for like 6 months and it fell apart she said it was a cheap piece of crap. The Garmin is usually one of the pricier ones but its definately worth the extra money, and I know this Friday I think its WalMart has a great deal on a garmin, its only like $89.00, last year when I bought my grandmothers it was 300, so thats definately a great deal. Good luck with that. Hope you find the right one that works for you.

Gps Unit Etrex

February 23rd 2007

gps unit etrex


What kind of map do I purchase for GPS?

I own a garmn etrex vista and would like to see some detail on my maps. I only have the basemap that came with the unit currently. I am new to the gps world so any explainations would be helpful.

I am trying to navigate in deep woods/ water and would like my unit to display dirt roads, terrain, and also detailed shapes of body’s of water. The basemap detail is poor so there just HAS to be something better. Is there one map that does all of this or am I being too picky on detail cravings? Thanks all

You will have to decide between two types of maps. Road or Topo. Garmin sells both and you can use both in one unit. You can view the maps on the appropriate page (it matters what the initials are after Vista (the HCx maps are at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=145&pID=8703#mapTab)
If you go to a map page, you can select the view map tab and get a preview of what detail is on the map.

I have the road map and it works for most things but it does not have topo lines and some lakes are missing. It seems that there are too many lakes in Minnesota for the road map makers to collect all this “non-road” data. It also does not include the regionall (over 100 miles in our metro area) bike trails and no hiking trails.

The topo maps are based on the USGS maps and include all that information.

Handheld GPS Units for Dummies

Todays handheld GPS units can mean the difference between trekking aimlessly through the woods, hopelessly lost, and finding your way to safety and once again surviving the great outdoors. Though, in todays society, its not all to uncommon for people to lose their way downtown or in the neighboring town. Its not just the wilderness. How many times have you found yourself late to a meeting because you missed your turn or drove by your exit?

Thus, handheld GPS units and Auto GPS systems have come into our lives. With the range in brands, styles and sizes, the application of the handheld GPS units have increased dramatically. Now, these units have become increasingly smaller and are even pocket sized. Yet, with the same great technology that can show the owner as to where they are in within the world simply by pressing a button.

The handheld GPS units locate the owner with a special operation tool that adds the position based on elevation with other factors to come up with a rounded area estimate that designates the users position in the world. Hopefully, by knowing their location, the owner can find their way out of the woods or the city. Where ever they may happen to be lost.

The biggest advantage of the handheld GPS units, besides that it helps you find your position, is its size. So, instead of trying to find lots of space for your large GPS gadget, you can simply toss the handheld GPS units in your pocket or clip it to your belt until, god forbid, it is needed again.

With any luck, you wont need your handheld GPS units and you may just be able enjoy your trip, comfortable with the fact that, should you need it, the GPS is there. Like a good Boy Scout, you will be ready for anything thanks to your handheld GPS units on hand.

Using the handheld GPS units is easy, too. With clear instructions and tips available on the screens display, the owner can learn to use the unit in a hands on way. On some models, popular in the Auto GPS systems, the units even come with an attractive voice sampler that can provide directions audibly instead of just on the display.

This, of course, is a great way to find your position with help from a friendly voice guiding you. The voices from the GPS unit can certainly help to give comfort in otherwise stressful times. So, it seems that using the handheld GPS units is a great way to aid in finding your position and an awesome way to save the owner from the potential disaster of being utterly lost.
