Garmin GPS Review
Sometimes it’s not just about what should you bring, but how in the hell you get there. If you’re like me (a guy) you can proabably make it from Point A to Point B in record time. The problem is, Point B is not actually your destination, but somewhere a mile or two from it. Now, I’ve been wanting a GPS for years but was concerned my wife thought it too expensive of a “toy.” So I did the next best thing… I bought her one for Christmas. (Kind of like Homer buying Marge a bowling ball) And the funny thing is, she has this amazing internal compass. She hardly ever needs the GPS, so it usually resides with me.
The Garmin Garmin Nuvi 360 does everything you want and more. The Bluetooth technology links seamlessly with your cell phone for handsfree conversations. Map and audio directions put you exactly where you want to go. It can also find restaurants by genre and distance, as well as lodging and gas stations. Did I mention it’s also an MP3 player? One of the coolest features is the optional up to date traffic reports. It automatically processes the information on your route, and takes you around the problem. Now, onto the city guide… not in your car, on foot. Once you’ve decided on your restaurant, museum, or Broadway Show, it’ll take you to the front door.
I’ve been using it for a little over a month and it works flawlessly. The touchscreen makes inputting destinations a snap. Due to the small size and many functions, I don’t ever see myself having to buy my wife another one… till next year.

I can't figure out how to turn off my garmin nuvi
255W. The instructions say to turn the power
switch left to turn it on, and it also says to
turn the switch left to turn it off. I can't
figure it out. Any suggustions?
Why can I not register my Nuvi 255 ?
I have followed all of the instructions, everything is downloaded, but still no joy.
Not very happy with this aspect of this product.
WTF does this article have to do with Nuvi 250 hacks?
What scam ! The garmin owners manual sent me to this useless website. What magical skills do I need to just register this unit. I will steer clear of Garmin products in the future.
I cannot get my Garmin registered. Your website wants me to join this & join that, All I want to do is register my Garmin. Any ideas or help. Is there a mail in I can do, obviously your website is not interested.
WTF? CANT REG MY SAT. MAYBE I DONT NEED THE DAMN THING!
I too tried and tried and tried to register my Garmin but the registration page would not accept any of my choices of a password. I followed all the prompts, all the directions. I'm totally frustrated. I also tried to contact Garmin to explain my
problem but that page would not load. Who created this website? They insist you register then don't allow you to do so!

I purchased a Garmin nuvi 200 series resently.
How do I go about completing the registration??
I have recently purchased a 2nd hand "Garmin Nuvi 310 "
I purchased it with the data lead, the car charger and mount but no box or manual.
it was in reasonable condition so i paid £75 uk pounds for it ( about $150 )
I purchased it with cash from a " gentleman " from the car boot sale, he looked honest.
He changed the home location to my own etc and gave me basic instructions on how to use it.
i have wanted to update it and visited the " Garmin " website. i wanted to register it so if it was stolen they would somehow deactivate it, but…… as i do not have the box i do not have a registration code, this means at best i cannot update it, and at worst it is a stolen unit.
now im wondering how to find out whether it is a stolen unit, or how i can register it without the registration number, also if it is stolen then how would i go about claiming back what i paid for it or will i just have an empty pocket and a space on my windscreen?
most of the filberts on here with their registration problems are they have stolen units with no box and as such cannot complete the registration form for the updgrade etc
this will teach them not to:
1) steal hard working peoples garmin nuvis
2) purchase goods off heroin addicts or 14 year old theiving chaves!
i laugh in your face
hahahahhahhahaahahhahahahah
Good review, you provide a lot of quality info. This unit is really a deal for all the muscle/features it packs. Truly a great unit for the price.
I picked up some european maps and they worked great for a trip I took. Very nice to get a cheap unit that allows for map expansion. Anyone looking for entry level and accuracy, this is a good place to start looking.
I've got a UI video here and a few more pics for anyone interested:

TO Pico:
I too find it funny that everyone is on here asking about their registration. They should be going to http://www.garmin.com to register their product. I guess they need a GPS unit to find there way around the web as well.
