Garmin nüvi 500 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review


This little box is a mixed blessing. you will have a love hate relationship with the 50 something women's voice. I bet Cal Trans road workers have found 100s of these little boxes at the side of the road, thrown from vehicles as drivers lost their last bit of patience with the little demon. I bought this Item with the intended use of a little driviing , a little hiking, a little mountain biking, just what it was designed for. Here are the facts. It stranded me in a small town some place in New Mexico. I took the advice of the little box instead of my wife and paid for it dearly. I spent 30 minutes trying to get back on the freeway I didn't want to get off. My wife just smirked and said ask the women in the little box. The little women just kept repeating herself, " In .2 miles turn right... turn right " While hiking she lost her way and couldn't see the forest through the trees. Good thing I knew where we were so I could get us home safely. The topos are pretty weak. Well there you have it. Don't expect much and at times you will be amazed at what it (she) can do.

Buy it here now!
