Garmin Update
I’ve been quite interested in replacing my GPS in the Pathfinder for a while now. I’ve noticed that the new batch of GPS’s from Garmin’s are pretty damn cool. My old Street3+ has been looking pretty long in the tooth as they say. So when Amazon had a big sale on them, I broke down and got one.
I ended up with the Nuvi 650, which is pretty slick. I figured all of the new Nuvi GPS were going to have roughly the same software and mapping functions, so I was focusing on size, extra features and most important the GPS receiver chip. The 650 has the incredible SirF Star III receiver, this thing is simply amazing. Last night while sitting on the couch, Rosie turned on the GPS and in about 60 seconds it locked on and was showing our position.
