Magellan Maestro 4350

Magellan 4350 Review:
Magellan introduces the new Magellan 4350 GPS navigation device that is the little brother of the Maestro 4370. Basically, the Magellan Maestro 4350 offers similar features as the Maestro 4370. the Maestro 4350 features a 4.3-inch widescreen anti-glare touchscreen, Bluetooth, Real-Time Traffic updates, and 2-D and 3-D maps of the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, all packed into a streamlined design that will add a bit of flair to any interior.

The iGolf Neo is a durable and lightweight device that weighs only 2.5 oz. and measures 1.75″ x 3.25″ x 0.75″.

Navigon 8100T

Navigon 8100T Review:
The Navigon 8100T is a dashboard-mounted GPS unit with a flat, sexy, 4.8-inch touchscreen. It’s easy to affix it to your dash via a suction cup. We especially liked the Reality View Pro feature, which gave us a realistic image of all of the streets we never knew existed in our area, complete with their actual road signs. The Navigon 8100T combines the standard 3D and 2D navigation with NASA-provided geographic guidance complete with rolling hills and elevations. The rest of the innards are standard fare with Bluetooth hands-free calling, voice entry, Zagat restaurant ratings, and the ultra road trip buddy, with the Exit Guide that lets you search upcoming exits …

Garmin Nuvi 5000

Garmin Nuvi 5000 Review:
The nuvi 5000 was designed for RV and truck drivers, whose distant windshields can make a small screen hard to see and even harder to reach. The large, touchscreen interface on the Garmin Nuvi 5000 works with voice-prompts, turn-by-turn directions, route calculation, and automatic rerouting. The device will save up to 10 routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on screen. A track log feature shows the user’s previously traveled route on the display, and drivers can avoid certain roads and areas by adding rules to the device’s routing program. It features a substantial 5.2-inch color display, an FM transmitter, MP3 player and lots of entertainment features for …

Magellan Maestro 4040

Magellan Maestro 4040 Review:
The Magellan 4040 is the latest in the Magellan product line. The Magellan Maestro 4040 Portable Auto GPS System is the ultimate travel companion. Re-engineered for easy use, it combines advanced features, elegance, and simplicity to make driving more pleasurable and less stressful. The Maestro 4040 has integrated Bluetooth and text-to-speech functionality, while the Maestro 4050 adds real-time traffic alerts and voice commands.

The Magellan 4040 features a 4.3-inch nonreflective QVGA display that I found very viewable in bright-sunlight driving conditions. For signal reception, the GPS is equipped with a SiRFStar III receiver and an integrated antenna—there’s no “patch” fold-out antenna. A relatively large rear-facing speaker provides robust sound. The …

Garmin Rino 120 Review:
The Rino 120 is state-of-the-art GPS navigation and two-way communications combined, with enough memory to download detailed mapping for driving, hiking, hunting, fishing, or just about anything else you can dream up. The Garmin Rino 120 is waterproof and can beam your exact location to another Rino user within a two-mile range (on the FRS spectrum) using the position reporting feature. The radio functionality of the Rino 120 provides two-way communications for up to two miles (using FRS channels), and you can talk to friends or family who own conventional FRS radios.
