I need help finding an Affordable "Portable GPS" Navigator with Wi-Fi &amp; a screen I can see. Anyone have any ideas or know of a decent GPS I can get?

Looks like a tablet is in your future. Garmin doesn't make one, but everybody else does! lol

We decided to get the one withOUT GPS and haven't missed it one time. I guess unless you're really hardcore its not needed. I would say get a GPS for tracking and a camera for pictures but don't mix the two.

I have Verizon's GPS. Although I don't recommend it (for other reasons), it has a "truck" option we use when pulling our 5er. I'm looking for a Nuvi with that option but haven't found it yet. The 506LT/LMT is way more expensive and looks like it's in "truck mode" all the time. Btw, isn't towing your dogs against the law? ;-)

This is kind of an odd request, in that only you can answer the "why?". What is it that YOU need or are looking for in a GPS? By reading the descriptions and a few reviews on each, you may get better information on the different feature set of each unit. A good place for professional reviews is gpsmagazine.com. FYI, all Garmin units will route you pretty much the same no matter the price.Good luck on your search.

I found a GARMIN GPS III PLUS (can be found on AMAZON usually used but sometimes someone has a new one) to be perfect on my quad. It provides features not found in combination on any GPS currently in production that I have found. I won't go thru all the features here as there are so many, but for me, it provides everything I could want in exploring remote areas of AZ except a gas gauge for the quad! Mine is clamped to the handlebars and runs off vehicle power so no battery life problems. Check one out and save yourself a lot of money while getting the capabilities a new one can't provide.

I bought a TomTom XXL 540TM 5 Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator in 2011 and it did have this feature if I remember correctly. It quit working when I tried to do a map update so I can't double check for you but I remember using this feature.

I am not a technician, but I'm pretty sure there is no navigation or gps option on this model, one reason why its so cheap. I can hook my smartphone up thru the auxiliary input and using the gps on my phone screen the voice commands play thru the cars speakers. I think thats as close as you can get without spending a ton of money on a unit thats navigation ready or the gps adapter kit they sell for this model.

8 wasn't able to find anything either. I took the risk and bought the unit. Turns out its a pretty good GPS. Only issue I have is the time on it is not always correct. Wish I could help more.

I cheap Hand Held works great. I've used the the Garmin GPS60 myself. Pop in a couple AA's and it last quite a long time. That with my pocketPC which I kept all my CACHE data on was what I used. I plan to switch over to using the IPHONE as soon as I get one. It's a all in one type of thing. I'd have the CACHE data, GPS, and a Camera all in one which makes things a snap. Less to carry. Good for a Adult, but if your bring your kids for example, the GPS60 is simple and pretty tuff. If it's dropped on the ground or in the water, it's safe!!! Enter the Data for the CACHE your looking for into it and hand it to your kid and it basically has a Arrow on the screen you can use pointing the direction you need to go along with distance. It's also cheap!!! Not sure if they still sell it or if there's a updated version. It was like $99 at the time. I've had it for quite a few years now. A NUVI for example really isn't a good GPS for Geo Caching!!! You can get a expensive fancy GPS with color and all that, and spend $400 or whatever, but it really not going to make things all that much better. You really don't need a MAP. In fact with the right software for your PC, you can save all the CACHE way points your Interested in to your NUVI for Car use to get you to the Location, and a cheap Hand held once at the area. you don't need a Map or anything on the handheld. My GPS60 supports Geo Caching, will show Open and closed Treasure chests for Geo Locations for found and not found. So both can be plugged into your PC and the waypoints saved onto them both. Then you don't have to manually enter them.

I don't understand the question, but the Oregon GPS has a touch screen that works very well.

I didn't buy a GPS yet. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one. I think I would buy the 265w.The refurb. price is right, around $90.00 . The reviews are 4+ stars. Ckt. City hada new one for $90. ,plus postage I think. I was hoping Consumer Report would havean updated report on Gps's in Dec., but none. I don't know what a 765 even sellsfor. I don't drive much anyway. But, I think I would use it. Thanks for asking.

RE: Rod: Can you answer this question about Garmin nuvi 3790T 4.3-Inch...?Roderick Ferguson 11:36 AM To: "Amazon Answers" <answers@amazon.com>Your best bet is to google Garmin and ask them. They might be able to download the Aussie stuff for you over the internet.These things are getting cheaper every day, so you might have to make your case with Garmin and have them send you a "sympathy" GPS at a super low price as an apology to their of global flexibility.

This is a piece of hardware used to give GPS access to devices which don't have a GPS built in. It pairs to the phone/tablet/PC via BlueTooth. It doesn't include any software. What device are you using with Verizon Navigator?

The navigation I think works really well. But I do believe a Garmin is a little more easier to use. But in all once you know what you're doing with this navigation is is awesome!

I think any gps with a micro slot. I have same gps. Worked great in ger, aust, bel , fr and uk last summer. My friend is using now, but will sell to you for $25 now as I am paying for Ivy League schools for a few years and will not be going anyplace but the office. Thx

Which GPS and Foot Pod combo would be best to track an elderly person walking on the beach, or elsewhere? We are somewhat price sensitive, but also care about the range of the device and ease of use

Hi Kirk, I have this 60CX, the version without the electronic compass (which can be a battery drain). The past two years, I've used it primarily in the car. I am pleased with it's performance in the car (and some on a motorcycle) and it gets me to unfamiliar places accurately here in the Houston area. The unit is surprisingly faster in satelite acquistion and route calculation than others that I have used. It won't talk to you. It beeps and flashes information on upcoming turns. That being said, I had to purchase the city navigator software from Garmin and 2 gb micro sd to do the detailed maps that the pre-loaded map that comes with the unit just won't do. The most recent city navigator retails for around $140. 2 gb cards are inexpensive. I've not had to use it for hiking or sailing. From what I've read, others have found it great for those applications. I have used it to go running and my experience is that you must hold it steady to calculate your pace accurately. This thing is extremely portable. It can fit in your pocket in a pinch. I believe this and the 76 series are the best all around gps-s. Good Luck!
