Garmin GPS Navigation - Welcome to the Future

By. Aristalina

Originally designed and used only for the military, GPS systems are now available nearly everywhere. Garmin provides the best GPS systems in the world.

The Garmin global positioning system has been one of the most common and recommended GPS systems amongst all of the other GPS systems that are available today. The founders of Garmin, Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao, started the company with the opportunity to create and become one of the leaders of  GPS navigation.

Being the leader in navigation, Garmin has created a number of different GPS navigation systems which come with a number of different features, all of which give Garmin an advantage in continuing to be the leader in the business. Most of the Garmin systems come with a touch screen, voice recognition, and Bluetooth capability as well as the ability to extend the usefulness of a unit with optional specialized map sets, also developed and made available by Garmin.

A Guide to Garmin GPS Navigation Systems

Before we start, Garmin, Tom Tom, and Magellan are not the only three GPS manufacturers out there. Garmin itself sells about 70% of the GPS systems sold.

Before I talk about Garmin products in particular, let’s talk a little about GPS receivers in general–especially what their main features are.

The basic features of any GPS after-market automotive system are the following:

Touch screen interface with 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional views

The Garmin nuvi 200 would be the perfect unit for you. Tom Tom and Magellan also have competitive products at this price range. The Tom Tom One and the Magellan Maestro 3100 are great introductory GPS receivers. Wider 4.3-inch screen

Garmin Nuvi 200 Widescreen Satellite Navigation System

The Garmin Nuvi 200 is a very user friendly and is not only GPS device, it is a multimedia device, currency converter, picture viewer, and it also includes Garmin Lock and anti-theft feature and more besides.

Offering the perfect blend of anti-glare and optical clarity, ClearTouch Anti-Glare for this GPS System is real world screen protection at its finest. The Garmin Nuvi 200 is one of the least expensive auto GPS units you can buy.

What Are the Best Garmin GPS Systems For Sale?

What are the best Garmin GPS systems for sale? Well, Consumer Reports recently had an article about the best overall GPS systems and Garmin had four systems on their list.

Consumer Reports best overall system was the Garmin nuvi 760. Consumer Reports also mentioned the nuvi 660, nuvi 350, and the nuvi 260.

Also, both the nuvi 760 and the nuvi 660 come with the larger, 4.3-inch screens for easier viewing.

The nuvi 350 is a smaller screen model. The nuvi 350 still tells you street names, and it still gets FM traffic bulletins with subscription.

The last Garmin product Consumer Reports mentioned was the nuvi 260. There’s a slight difference between the nuvi 260 and the nuvi 350 and that is in the design of the case. The nuvi 350 is actually a somewhat older design and it has that little antenna flap on the back.

The nuvi 260 doesn’t have that. There are other Garmin GPS systems for sale that were not mentioned in Consumer Reports’ article. The nuvi 200 is their entry level device.
