Garmin n���vi 780 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with MSN Direct Service
$699.99
This is my third Garmin and overall I am pleased with their products. I purchased this model for the bluetooth feature and it is pretty good but this model has some features not as good as my old 330. There is no external volumne control and it is more complicated to save a current location than my old unit. The battery life is better than the old model and with the bluetooth feature it is a step up from the old unit but I much prefered the external volumne control and ease of storing locations.

I cannot possibly say enough good things about this book. It is so well authored, so well written, and so thorough that anyone interested in CelNav would be completely amiss not to buy this book. Because I spend so much time studying the subject, I came to a point where I began studying the algorithms, celestial mechanics, and mathematical theory behind CelNav and wanted to move into deeper, more intensive areas of the subject with the intention of eventually being able to calculate the very orbits that we derive our almanac data from....however, I was unable to break into this seemingly unattainable realm because of the overwhelming circular nature of the texts and dicussions that tend to predominate regarding the subject. THIS BOOK was the key that unlocked those areas for me. You will find yourself amazed at how much "meat" each and every line of this book contains, it's as though each sentence offers new and equally important light to the study of CelNav. You will, as I did, I'm quite sure, read and re-read this book with the result that your understanding of CelNav will be deepened a hundred-fold. If the price of books were determined by the significance of their contents, this one would cost millions.

This little unit is the best buy for your bargain GPS dollar. I read reviews and shopped prices for all current available models and was able to get this one for $135. The 4.3 inch screen is better than the 3.5 and easily viewable from my dash holder. I was pleasantly surprised how easy this unit was to program and use. Turn it on and it finds your location in 3 to five seconds and you are ready to go to stored locations or can type in a new address and find it within seconds also. You can carry it with you in your pocket if walking or bike riding.

I like the handy points of interest clections for shopping, resturants etc and found most were places I would be most likely to visit and I have already programed in a few of my own favorites.

All in all I am pleased and would encourage others to choose this unit over many of the expensive models out there. One of my friends bought this same unit on my referal and is very happy with it also. You wont get lost!

Simple to use. Shopping, restaurant lists seem out of date even after update. Makes a few mistakes, so watch the road signs. I am impressed how accurately it displays posted speed limits.
