One year ago after seeing a horrible bridge collision I decided to investigate low clearance avoidance tools. After a great deal of searching, by far the most cost effective solution was to download a low clearance POI database for my GPS. There were a few free ones out there to download but...

It has been on what little mine I have for about a week now. Is it that the kids and the wifes think that we being a man we do not know where we are going I have never seen so many adds on gps and navigation systems for fathers day.:confused:

Well I went out and did it.. Got me a new Garmin 465t. I have been using a Garmin Street Pilot 2610. I really liked this GPS. It was not a fancy 3D unit and it did not speak the street names and waypoints. I did not want to change units but Garmin stopped making maps for the 2610. So the 2009...

I have downloaded some POI's to our c530 Garmin GPS from POI Factory. However, I'm not sure I understand how to make them work. When I have set the GPS to a destination, will I automatically get a signal that we are near one of the POI's, or do I have to go into "Extras", where the POI's are...

I want to get a GPS that I can switch between vehicles if needed that also will double as a rear camera display. A few GPS units, such as Garmin's StreetPilot 7200, has a video input for this purpose. The 7200 looks like it would work, but there appear to be several models to consider. Any...

If you have not seen the new Garmin nüvi that is available, you should go to the Garmin site & check it out. I purchased the 465T a month ago, and it has been great! It runs in two modes - 'car' and 'truck.' In 'car' mode it operates like any other Garmin. You enter where you want to go, and it...
