Ultimate Garmin GPS Comparison Guide for 2013 Models
I wanted to share with others my research on all the Garmin models out there in one easy to see spot. For those unfamiliar with the basic family differences Garmin breaks them down into 3 categories.
Essential Series – These are the everyday GPS units with basic features. They are the most affordable, simple, and user-friendly.
Advanced Series – These are the next step up from the essential series. They have additional features that go beyond basic navigation.
Prestige Series – Most advanced, premium line of GPS units available from Garmin. Top notch performance and cutting edge features.
—————–
The letters after each model number in all series mean the following:
LM – Lifetime Map Updates
T – Live Traffic Updates

March 25, 2013Great except for way too many “clicks” to get around interface,
Once you are on the road, this thing is awesome. The map guidance is clear, the information on the screen is relevant and timely, and it even tells you what lane you need to be angling for. This is an indispensible part of how I drive. HOWEVER it is unnecessarily painful to enter address information, change settings, etc. The interface for entering an address, for example, proceeds down through screen after screen with a single question on each screen. If you change your mind, you have to click “Back” like 17 times to get out again. This “drill down and back out” pattern is everywhere in the interface and it just sucks. Stuff like that is just bad design and it has not changed for years with Garmin so I don’t think they care about it. How hard would it be to put a “back to map” button on each screen? Etc. Convenience is not the main idea here sadly. But still 4 stars for being RELATIVELY awesome! 🙂

March 25, 2013Garmin POI’s,
I’ve only had this for a short time and it seems to work fine. The only problem I see is it won’t display the points of interst on the map. Most units have the option of having the POI’s on or off the map. This unit doesn’t. Not much help from Garmin on this subject.
