Garmin.You'll be lost without it ! Which is the best GPS ?

Hi to one and all,
I Hope you are well !
My name is Richard, Welcome to my Blog !!!

My main aim for this project is....

Giving as much relevant information as I can on the GPS, All the information is pulled together for you the Consumer to Compare, check specification's and features they have and also a Bonus side of advice for you on the different GPSs, Knowledge gained through work related personal experience.

I will be putting alsorts of textual information and some visual eye candy in video format for you about GPSs, and resources for the GPS newbie's on my pages for you to either laugh at, be surprised at, or hopefully mostly informed at, I will also be putting the niggly problem's they have too, there are a few things to know before buying one, so if you have read this far, and are still reading the page, Excellent, My battle is half done, your a sensible person, and know what quality is...As you know quality sell's itself.

If you need any further information, go to the Video's section and checkout a few of the vid's scattered around, there is a lot of vid's of real people testing and using the various GPS device's, Also any Question's you may need answer's to in the Q & A section, also checkout the resources page for any further help/links you want, it is very informative.

Oh and did I mention, Garmin is the GPS king, don't even waste any time looking around for a better Vendor, I will guarantee there isn't one.

Enjoy the pages and good luck to one and all.

I hope I have possibly helped you find the correct device for your need's, and informed of some known issue's, but fore warned is fore armed, and getting the right GPS for $500/$800/$2000, is a must !!!

There are literally hundred's of GPSs out there today, and my first bit of advice is, if your looking for a GPS, buy a GPS system, rather than buying say a phone or PDA with satnav built in, this will have better design, better functionality, most important, less things to fail on the system, there are Excellent piece's of kit to have, I don't know how I lived without one, after I bought one, there are some good GPSs out there, but the super-daddy of the GPS world is Garmin, they are the Market leader's, they have the best GPSs for reliability, they have better updating services, over 6 million POIs ( points of interests ) and they offer repairs to device's that are out of Warranty also, no other company can boast this, I have been repairing Garmin GPSs for a while now and can only say they are the best, I am not an affiliate of Garmin, I am a regular PC / Desktop Technician, that has fixed and advised on the GPS, So if I can offer any words of wisdom to anybody reading my drivel, then it has been worth the typing of the Blogs, and if I managed to save you some money too, that is the ultimate goal.
Amazon are the Internet buyer's favourite for purchasing GPSs
In today's fast lifestyle, we need the GPS for the speed, accuracy, and consistency of getting somewhere, and the GPS is the perfect tool for the job !!!
It can locate to within 6 feet of the destination, which is pretty good by any Mapping/compass standard's, there are different GPS for different scenario's, IE: the regular Car Driver's GPS, the Walker's GPS, the Fisherman, the dog tracker, the sailor, the pilot, the runner, the Truck Driver's GPS etc... So as you may guess, they all have different features on them, Let it be said, you get what you pay for, this is not a big surprise, this is De facto in all walks of life, So if you are thinking of investing in a GPS, Digging a bit deeper in your pocket will help in finding a better device, I am trying to compile a database and inform of the good the bad and the ugly of the GPS world, and yes, some are good, some are bad, and some are ugly :)
But enough about me, let's talk GPS.

A Comical Interlude for you......
You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, haha please read on...


If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch,
'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on 'START'............. :)
