Garmin GPS Review

Randy Neal reviews the Garmin Nuvi 650 GPS Navigator and really likes it. My parents just bought the Garmin Nuvi 660 and love it! On one of my last visits, I got a chance to play and it really got me drooling.

On my last trip to Orlando, my friend Brian (who I stayed with) let me borrow his Garmin 330 for the whole week. I used it to drive to a friend's wedding down in St. Pete and it was fantastic! I was able to go the whole week without worrying about looking at street signs or following directions from MapQuest.

Dad and I keep saying something like this would have been a godsend on our trip across the US a couple summers ago. It would also be great for navigating around the DC area, especially if you get a unit that gets automatic traffic updates.

I'd say it's not so much a matter of if, as much as when I buy a GPS. They are really, really cool and are getting better (and cheaper!) all the time.
