Garmin nüvi 5000 5.2-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review
September 28th, 2009
Garmin nüvi 5000 5.2-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review from Teddy Lancaster teddy@runningbear.com. Garmin has lost a customer, I have used a Garmin GPS 60c for years and decided it was time to get something easier to see and work with. This sounded ideal as I drive a Freightliner Truck towing my Travel Trailer. But the truck noise made using the FM connection mandatory. (There goes my books on tape). But the worst is the poor navigation. It could not find my mothers address (it did, but it showed her address as the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America and my Mom lives on Cape Cod) and other common places (such as Goodyear Tire Centers, Flying J’s, Rest Areas other than ones on major interstates and Camping World) I called Garmin. I just bought this and they wanted me to BUY more maps. Navteq supplies their maps and the maps for MS Streets and Trips (which almost always finds addresses), so it is a Garmin problem. I just bought the Dash Express for about half the price. Lifetime free automatic updates, LIVE traffic and routing, LIVE internet search and user made favorites as well as many awesome features. I’ll review it after I actually use it. Sorry, Garmin, get modern and more customer friendly….the world of technology is quickly out-distancing you!
