My husband thought it would be great to have a navigation system in the car. Although I have  found them it to be quite useful whenever I borrowed my brother’s vehicle, I didn’t want to pay the money to have it installed in our new…used car.

We decided to purchase a Garmin Portable GPS Navigator. It turned out to be the perfect solution. I used to use mapquest or Yahoo’s driving directions to find my way around town but now I just plug the address into the Garmin Navigator.

I really like the portable option that enables me to take the navigator wherever I go. This flexibility comes in handy for using it in both cars. I also think the various options for accents and languages is a plus as well.

The Garmin Portable GPS Navigator is preloaded with City Navigator North America NT and has the following features.

  • 4.3-inch touchscreen display with 2D/3D mapping perspective
  • Turn-by-turn directions with voice guidance and text to speech
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot
  • Includes JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more
