| 275T - The best of all worlds! (5/5) | Nov 12, 2008 | Jim Nicewander | Plover Wisconsin US | |
| We went through a long evaluation of all the available GPS systems for our use in the car, as well as for walking around once we get to our destinations. Garmin rated the best among all the manufacturers, and their 275T seemed to have all the features we needed, without extra bells and whistles that cost more but that we'd seldom use. Well, it came in right away via FedEx (great service!) - it's everything we thought it'd be, and more. All the functions are super easy to use (at least the ones we've tried so far - there's a lot to try out on this unit). Great graphics, fast response, and a charming computer voice giving us directions (and here I always thought that only Captain Picard had a computer that talked to him in a real world, practical sort of way). The included maps of Europe are extremely user-friendly, and they're going to be very, very helpful on our upcoming trip over there to visit family. The Garmin 275T is by far the best value available, whether this is your first GPS or if you're looking for more up-to-date maps and features. I would recommend it highly (and GPSNOW.com is a great dealer - good prices and super service)! | ||||

The 275T was very easy to use right out of the box. It's always nice for your newest toy to have a good charge when it arrives. I breifly owned a Nuvi 370 and want to highlight a few improvements that have been made to this newer model. The 275T is much quicker to position itself even without the hinged antennae that is standard on the 370. I didn't check the actual dimentions, but the 275T seems more compact in size than the 370. The North American Maps are detailed and easy to follow. We have not, however, tested the European mapping. From my testing so far, the unit comes with an exhaustive "Points of interest" lists that almosts doubles as a commercial phone listing. My wife's favorite feature is the added visualization of a real time speed limit sign that is posted right beside your current speed. Two minor dislikes are that it takes the less standard "micro memory card" and it does not include an AC charger. |
