Save with a Refurbished GPS

We all like to save a buck or two.  And if you’re in the market for a GPS navigational device, there’s a great way to save a bundle!  Buying a refurbished GPS unit is smart idea.   For most consumers, purchasing a refurbished GPS for $159.00 when a new one costs $459.00, is a real steal! Read more about it below.

A lot of refurbished GPS models are called refurbished because they were in-store floor models.  Many others may have had a simple cosmetic flaw, such as a scratch, that has been repaired.  Still others could have undergone a software re-load.  But at the time of purchase the only difference between a refurbished GPS and a new one is the significant discount in price.

Many consumers are concerned that once a device has had a problem, it will continue to have problems.  You should know that a refurbished GPS unit goes through extensive testing to insure the device is working as-good-as-new.  Therefore, it’s reasonable to assume that any future problem you might encounter with your refurbished GPS would most likely be the exact problem you would have encountered if you’d purchased a new one.  

With the price of GPS devices climbing as high as a thousand dollars, the refurbished GPS is an extremely attractive alternative.  The average price of a refurbished unit is under $200!  And in the case of those units with cosmetic flaws, you’re still getting the same functionality as a brand new unit, but at a greatly reduced price. Now that’s a bargain!

garmin gps connection faq?

i have a garmin nuvi 250w. When u have it plugged into the usb (back of the unit) to the computer usb serial port, is it charging the unit?

I assume that the 250w works the same as my 660, and the answer is yes. On my 660, it is slower that charging with wall power, but it does charge. (the 660 has 2 different charging ports on it.) On my 660 it takes about 1 hour to get 1 bar on the battery indicator.

Portable GPS Receiver Buying Guide

With the rising popularity of GPS receivers, they have almost become a necessity to those that are fed up with getting lost while trying to reach a destination. But GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers do much more than simply letting you know where you are. With many models you can have turn-by-turn voice prompts telling you where to turn, how soon to expect the turn, the angle of the turn, and even which lane you should be in. On some models you also have access to hundreds of thousands of points of interest. Examples of points of interest are restaurants, department stores, gas stations, banks, etc.

There are many other features that are available on today’s portable GPS receivers, though knowing what you want before making a purchase will help you decide on which ones are most important to you, and which ones are just added bonuses. Below is a list of things that our product specialists recommend our customers to look for before making a purchasing decision when shopping for portable GPS receivers.

Screen Size: It is important to consider the screen size of a portable GPS receiver because if your not able to see the roads you need to take, there’s no point of having GPS. Make sure to get a receiver with a screen that will be large enough for you to be able to see street names with ease. Keep in mind though; there is always the zoom feature which gives you close ups of the map being displayed.

Touch Screen Controls: You should consider a receiver with touch screen controls, which makes it easier for you to input your information, and saves space because there is no need for extra buttons elsewhere.

Voice Prompts: If you plan on using the GPS receiver mainly while driving, it would be best to get one that features turn-by-turn voice prompts so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.

Battery: If you plan on using the GPS system that is not connected to something for power, consider the battery life of the receiver. If the battery doesn’t last you long enough, you may just end up lost in the middle of nowhere.

Re-Routing Capabilities: Re-routing capabilities on a GPS receiver is a feature that re-calculates another route for you when you miss a turn. Getting a receiver with re-routing capabilities is important because if you miss a turn and the GPS doesn’t automatically re-route, then you will have to go back follow the receivers exact route which can be very inefficient. Most portable GPS receivers designed for use in a car have re-routing capabilities, though some may not so its always good to double check.

Points of Interest: Having a GPS receiver with a high amount of POI (Points of Interest) can be very helpful to you in finding locations that you don’t know the exact address to. The points of interest usually include things like gas stations, banks, stores, restaurants, ATM machines, etc.

Included Accessories: Check to see whether the GPS receiver comes with the accessories you need such as an AC/DC adapter, car mount, cables, cases, etc.

GPS: A receiver that calculates its absolute geographic position by determining its relative position to a set of at least three satellites.

What is WAAS and why is it important to GPS receivers?

This question came to me as I was searching for a portable navigation GPS for my car. I wondered as I researched products why some offered WAAS while others did not. So I found myself wondering what the acronym meant and how having or not having it would affect the product’s performance.

WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System.

Basicaly, atmospheric conditions will reduce the accuracy of the GPS satellite signal. At any given time the best resolution from a standard GPS will be a position to within 30 ft. This is great for the average user, but a big disaster for critical users like aircraft.

Enter WAAS. To compensate for the 30ft grey area, ground stations are set up at hyper-surveyed locations. they beam their known position to different satellites, these rebroadcast the positions to WAAS enabled recievers, and the difference is mostly eliminated, producing accuracy to within 4ft.

For WAAS to work, you need to be in view of both the GPS and WAAS sattelites. There are currently only 2 WAAS satellites over the continential US, so for a car or handheld unit, WAAS accuracy is only available when you have a completely unobstucted view of the sky. This is likely to improve in the future.

It seems like every time you turn around there is a new wireless gadget making its way into our every day lives. Modern day society has managed to completely free itself from wired electronic devices - so much so that it is now possible to live and work from almost anywhere on the planet.

With Christmas just around the corner, and 2008 fast approaching, we thought it would be fun to put together a short list of some very cool wireless devices that you may find making their way to your wireless “wish list”.

Our top five wireless wish list choices for the new year are:

#1 - Wireless VoIP Skype Phone

1984 witnessed the breakup of the ATT monopoly and the cost of a telephone call has been dropping ever since. Little did we know that the internet would provide the most cost-effective means of making a call. On the cutting edge of free and dirt cheap long distance calling is Skype.

Skype is the internet application that has allowed millions of people from across the globe to call one another right from their desktop PC. Now you can make free or or very inexpensive calls using Skype using only a wireless Wi-Fi connection. Skype has indeed gone mobile. The Netgear SPH-200D Cordless Phone with Skype takes all the hassle out making a Skype call. No need to install any software, or even turn on your PC.

Simply plug the Cordless Base Station into your internet router and begin speaking with friends, family and business associates via the internet from wherever you are. The SPH-200D can even replace your land line phone. Just plug the base station into any active phone jack and it becomes a traditional cordless phone as well.

#2 - Kindle Wireless Book Reader

For the busy traveler who hates to lug books on business trips - the new wireless Kindle Book Reader by Amazon. Kindle has brought new meaning to the term “wireless book”.

The Kindle is like no other electronic reader on the market. It is designed to be read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time - without the eyestrain that often results from staring at a computer screen. This device is completely mobile and is very simple to use. No PC syncing is needed.

The Kindle uses the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, delivering complete contents of books wirelessly through Amazon’s own network: Amazon Whispernet. (In other words, you’ll never need to locate a Wi-Fi hotspot.)

With the Kindle, all you need to do is just think of a book, magazine or newspaper you would like to read, and Kindle will do the rest. In a matter of seconds, Kindle will wirelessly download and display your selection’s entire contents on its paperback-sized screen. Kindle allows users to download and read the beginning of books for free. All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week trial.

Will the Kindle ever replace the tried and true paperback? Maybe not. But with the ability to have 200 books stored at any one time, it sure saves space on a long business trip!

#3 - Wireless Internet Radio

For those that love their radio but cannot seem to find a decent local station: The Wi-Fi internet radio.

The Tangent Quattro internet radio integrates WiFi radio with distinctive Danish styling. Housed inside a MDF wood cabinet with real walnut veneer, the Quattro has the highest quality audio among WiFi radios.

This handy little radio allows you to search over 5000 Internet radio stations - by location AND genre. Listen to anything from Jazz in Taiwan to news from Germany. You can also use the Quattro to wirelessly stream music and audio from your computer (PC and Mac), or connect your MP3 player to the audio-in and use the radio as a stand alone speaker.

Unlike satellite radio, there are NO monthly subscription fees. You don’t even have to turn on your computer to use it. Wirelessly connect to any Broadband wireless (WiFi) network and listen to your heart’s content.

#4 - Wireless GPS Navigator

If you have ever experienced being completely lost without a gas station in sight, it may be time to pick up a wireless GPS navigational device.

Today’s GPS devices will not only help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, they will also provide travel tips, and even store your favorite MP3s and photos! Our choice in this category is the Garmin nüvi 350.

The Garmin nüvi 350 revolutionizes what one would expect from a GPS navigation device - or any device for that matter!

The Garmin 350 is one of the most popular, portable and reliable GPS devices around. Wherever you go - in your car or on foot - this wireless marvel offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception.

It comes equipped with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. The device is touch-screen controlled, and comes with a unique “text-to-speech” feature which calls out turns by street name. It is also compatible with Garmin’s GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver, allowing users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route instantly.

We predict that these types of wireless devices will be everywhere in a few years. Then we will wonder how we got along without them.

#5 - Wireless Indoor Remote Control Power Outlet

Finally, for the “lazy” in all of us: the

SVAT WRC100 Wireless Indoor Remote Control Power Outlet.

This technologically advanced wireless electronic remote switch can control virtually everything in your house with just the push of a button. Control lamps, radios, or other electrical devices from up to 100 feet away, even through walls and floors, with this radio frequency wireless remote control.

The receiver plugs directly into any three-prong outlet, and provides a remote switched three-prong outlet to allow radio frequency on & off control for a wide variety of electrical devices. The control unit, with keychain, is more than small enough to fit into your pocket, but its signal will work up to 100 feet away from the receiver even from inside your car.

Ideal for those hard-to-reach plug-ins like holiday lights and computer outlets. The kids left the television on and you don’t feel like getting out of a comfortable chair to turn it off? Just one handy button and you’re in charge.

Easy Plug & Play Installation: Plug receiver into wall outlet. Plug device to be controlled into receiver. That’s it you’re done! No wiring is necessary! There you have it, our top picks for your wireless wish list for this holiday season and for 2008. Be sure to include at least one wireless gadget on list this year!

Garmin C330 Battery Problem

May 28th 2007

garmin c330 battery problem

Why dose my Garmin StreetPiolt C330 GPS only work when I have it plugged in to my car?

Why dose my Garmin StreetPiolt C330 GPS only work when I have it plugged in to my car, when I take it out of my car it will not turn on, like the batteries are dead but is it not so post to charge them when I have it plugged in. O.K. so it may have fell of the windscreen on to the set but that should not hurt it, right. Has anyone els had this problem and what can I do? Thanks

The on/off button of my GPS tends to push against anything around when I put it away and stays ON until I need it again. So the battery gets totally discharged and it won’t work until I plug it in. So maybe that what is happening to yours. Also, if the battery is deffective, it won’t charge up. Call you manufacturer and get a replacement battery.

Handheld Gps Units Reviews

handheld gps units reviews


Classic Game Room HD - GRAN TURISMO 3 review PS2

Best Handheld GPS unit for use at Glacier National Park? (under $200)?

I will be going to Glacier National Park and I want a GPS unit to aid my travel. I am currently looking at the Garmin GPS 60. From what I have read, it is non-mapping. I’m not really sure what that means… The reviews I have read are great.

Q’s
1. What does non-mapping mean (don’t tell me it means it doesn’t map, because I know it has a map on it)
2. Can someone suggest a handheld GPS unit for hiking (under $200)

1) mapping GPS receivers display location information on road maps, marking your position in relation to highways, lakes, landmarks and cities while Non-mapping GPS receivers (or mapping GPS units with the map turned off) display your movements by laying down tracklogs and waypoints (position markers), then “connecting the dots” to show your path, allowing you to retrace your route, but there’s no road-map underlay. Any of the Garmin units can be upgraded to be a mapping unit through software like Garmin City Navigator.

2) My family has used Garmin 60cx’s for quite a while now and have never been unsatisfied with them. However thats a bit out of your budget. I would recommend a GPSr in Garmin’s eTrex series (eTrex, eTrex Camo, Legend, Vista, etc.). They are small and excellent beginning units. Furthermore, Garmin’s customer support leaves nothing to be desired. Stupid mistakes made by the user (such as leaving your GPS on the roof of your car) will typically be corrected by Garmin for approximately half of the retail price of the unit (quite often they even go so far as to send you a refurbished unit).

Its a bit off-topic, but if you’re looking at GPS units, you might also want to check out the “sport” Geocaching (www.geocaching.com). Even if it doesn’t agree with you, there is an excellent community there that would be happy to help you with any problems you might have with your unit.

Aparelho muito bom!!!

  5 Inch Touch Screen GPS Navigator w/FM Transmitter (Sports Ed.) Fantastic item.by Martin Lea - on 07/16/2009

I am an actual buyer from Australia - I buy these and sell them online.

They are a simply amazing product for the price. I am in fact angry because they are better than my $300 Mio GPS system, which I bought on sale.
They are easy to use, have amazing features such as ebook, able to play movies, FM transmitter so the directions sound over the radio; they are slim and good looking. I have only had one problem with my order’s and that was one order not coming with power adapter converters for Australian power sockets.

They really are a good buy and I recommend them to any one!

Très belle finition,interface claire et le tout en français!

Garmin Nuvi 255 Best Price

May 26th 2007

garmin nuvi 255 best price


Best Buy Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin nuvi 255 or 265T for the same price. Which to buy?

Both are selling for $179. Very limited reviews on the 265 except sound quality is not good for bluetooth. It won’t matter because my Samsung SCH U 740 is not compatible with nuvi 265T.

Which would be the best to buy?

Without question get the 265T. I believe that Bluetooth is not the only big difference. With the 265T, you also get a FM traffic receiver built-in, which is a nice service where available (coverage is still spotty but getting better).

Usually the 265T sells for $50 more than the 255. If they are at the same price, go with the 265T. Even if you don’t use them now, Bluetooth and traffic are good things to have, and you may one day use them.

Check on the traffic thing though. The 265T is supposed to have it (”T” stands for traffic in the Garmin model number code), but they don’t include many descriptions.
