Garmin Automotive Mount for Nuvi 660 (010-10823-02) GARMIN NUVI DECK MOUNT – William Roussie – western New York state
The product was unsatisfactory as received and i waited a bit long on my return rights but both AMAZON and GARMIN were most accommodating. I have experienced relief courtesy of the aforementioned and the Garmin Nuvi 660 is now a functioning part of my travel itineraries.

I am most grateful to both of the aforementioned and would be happy to let anyone know that fact.
I’ve been very happy with the stock windshield mount that came with my Garmin 660, paired with a Navgear ME201133 Universal Dashboard Mount for Portable GPS Units. However, I recently returned from a trip with the Garmin in my backpack and realized that I’d lost the connector that mounts onto the ball joint and holds the Garmin unit and its power supply. Some frustrating hours searching online revealed that the part I’d lost was the only part that could not be replaced separately, without purchasing another complete mount

This was the cheapest complete mount I could find, so getting it was a no-brainer. Though I had originally intended to just use the missing part, I ended up switching to this mount completely and no longer use the friction mount.

Pros:
1. Has both a permanent and a temporary adhesive pad. I’m using the ‘temporary’ pad though I’ve never moved the mount since I first set it up. Garmin’s dire warning about the permanent pad being ‘truly’ permanent was sufficiently discouraging even for my 14-yr-old car.
2. Small overall form factor for a dash option, compared to using a friction base.
3. The ball-joint allows tilting and the mount base allows 360-deg rotation. That gives sufficient positions for most purposes. The rotation can also be locked, which is a neat feature.
4. Easy to remove just the GPS unit leaving the power cord attached to the mount (like any other Garmin mount). I love this about Garmin mounts, compared to other devices where you need to both remove the unit from the mount as well as unplug the power supply from the unit.
5. Most of the mount can be easily unlatched leaving just a small oval plastic base on the dash. This is cool, though there’s no reason you’d want to do this since the ball joint arm is non-standard and useless without this plastic base.

Cons:
1. My biggest gripe is the inclusion of only one temporary adhesive pad, and the lack of options to get more pads if you need them. The mount is practically useless without the pad, so if your pad loses its adhesion (which wont take too long if you move the mount around), you’re on your own. I imagine that you should be able to use 3M command strips, but its not going to be very pretty.
2. The plastic oval base that sticks to the dash using the adhesive pad is very rigid. Unless you have a perfectly flat dash, which is rather unlikely, only a part of the base is going to be sticking to the dash. Recommend ensuring proper adhesion at least at the rear part of the disk rather than the front, given the highly forward center of gravity for the mount-and-gps combination.
3. The mount tends to lean forward with the gps unit on it, if you don’t attach the base firmly enough to the dash at the rear of the base. This could have been easily countered by either making the base heavier or by shaping the ball-joint arm to curve backwards before coming forward and thus bring the overall center of gravity closer to the center of gravity of the base.
4. The ball joint is a very tight fit for the receiver that latches onto the ball, significantly tighter than the one that came with my windshield mount. If anything, it should be smoother so that lesser strain is placed on the mount base from tilting the unit around the ball or removing the receiver from the ball. The tilting angles are also narrower than they could have been.
5. My initial preference was to attach the mount on a vertical face of my dash rather than on top of it (less conspicuous). But I soon realized this wouldn’t work. No rotation or tilting orientation of the mount would have the unit viewable to the driver with the mount attached to a vertical plane in the car. I thought mounts were supposed to allow every imaginable orientation.
6. The rotation locking mechanism in the base uses a thin plastic lever that doesn’t look very resilient. I use it very carefully (if at all) for fear of snapping it and ending up with a freely rotating mount arm.
7. Even in the locked position, the arm on my mount has about 2mm of free play, which can get very annoying when you’re entering addresses into the unit.

Overall, though, its a decent dash mounting option for your primary vehicle, provided you stick it (very) firmly to the dash. My friction base has flown off my dash on occasion when cornering at higher speeds; this mount hasn’t done that yet, and takes up much lesser dash real-estate. Garmin: 010-10823-02 This mount includes temporary and permanent adhesive disks that adhere the mount base to the dash, unit is easily removed .

Brunton Multi-Navigator MNS GPS with Neoprenerying Case Buying second hand Brunton. – Philip Zimmermann – Geneva, Switzerland
My aim was to get a GPS with no map capability in order to maintain good habits when navigating with visual checkpoints. The low battery consumption was also an important matter. The Brunton unit I got from Finalcall fulfills all my expectations. The very large screen, additional features such as the compass, the altimeter or the barometer in addition to a full GPS unit are perfect. I will use it mainly when making cross-country travel in a Cessna 172 as a complementary tool to classical navigation instruments. The service given by Finalcall has been perfect.
I have used the MNS for about a year hiking in the mountains of Colorado. I decided I needed a GPS because I started climbing mountains without well-defined trails; I climbed the wrong mountain several times. I used the Brunton MNS in parallel with the Garmin Etrex Vista for about a month.

The MNS is more accurate than advertised when finding positions. When entering a waypoint on the “way out” of a daylong hike, the MNS usually registered “found” within 5 feet of the landmark that I recrossed and recognised on the “way back.” The MNS can acquire a signal in light forests near tree line, but not in the heavy forests of Ponderosa Pine at lower altitudes. The heavy smoke generated by the fire burning West of Colorado Springs this Summer killed satellite acquisition.

The altimeter is not accurate to within three feet, even given that the weather is clear and constant. It is of equivalent accuracy to my Sunto Vector altitude watch which is rated accurate to 10 feet; both must have the same internal mechanism. If I start climbing at 10,000 feet and climb to 14,000 feet, both devices will register about 13,900 feet. Interestingly enough, both devices always register low, which allows me to intuit the real altitude. On that closed loop between 10,000 and 14,000 feet, both mechanisms will register within 10 feet of 10,000 feet on return to the starting point.

The MNS mechanism is capable and has kept me from getting lost several times when weather on the return trip became bad.

The Tracklog function has little value because there is a very small limiting number of collected waypoints; a user is bound to miss that bend in the trail or special landmark that he would enter if he were setting waypoints manually.

The MNS is somewhat more accurate than the E-Trex Vista in finding positions. The E-Trex is far more user friendly in entering data. It might take twice as long to manually enter a route using the MNS vis-a-vis the E-trex.

I wear reading glasses. I cannot view the E-trex map or any of the displays without my glasses. I can view all the displays on the MNS without glasses. This was the ultimate reason I kept the MNS and returned the E-Trex Vista.

The Map on the Vista is so tiny as to be of little value. When I hike, I print a map of my route from my mapping software on plasticized paper; this printed map is far more convenient than the tiny map on the Vista. Brunton: Whether in the tropical rain forest or exploring the Arctic, the Multi-Navigator has been designed to withstand the most extreme weather conditions. The Multi-Navigator is designed so the built-in True-Magnetic™ Compass can work independently of the GPS receiver function, allowing you to navigate without the assistance of satellites yet update your position when needed. This unique feature allows for amazing battery conservation; giving you weeks worth of battery power rather than hours worth. You can find less expensive GPS units than Brunton’s Multi-Navigation System GPS, but you won’t find another that offers as many functions. In addition to its Global Positioning System (GPS), the unit features a barometer, an altimeter, and a compass. It’s also a rugged, expedition-quality device that’s waterproof and will function accurately in temperatures ranging from minus 13 degrees to 158 degrees.

Finding your latitude and longitude is only one way to use the Multi-Navigator. It’s easy to set waypoints–simply save and label locations with names such as “car” and “cabin.” You can then use the Multi-Navigator to lead you to that waypoint by pointing in the direction of the location with its internal compass and displaying the distance in miles.

To test it, we wandered out into the fog-enshrouded trails of a nearby state park until we were thoroughly turned around. We were then able to use the Multi-Navigator to easily find our way back. Its distance and direction are as the crow flies, so there were a few turns and twists, but it kept us pointed in the right direction.

The Multi-Navigator’s barometer is able to provide a rough forecast for the upcoming 12 hours, offering predictions such as Sunny, Partly Cloudy, and Storm Warning. Although not as precise as our local meteorologist, the Navigator did accurately predict clouds moving into our area. (Brunton recommends staying in the same location for at least six hours for the most accurate weather report.)

The Multi-Navigator also features an altimeter, accurate to within three feet, which aids in the waypoint settings (the Navigator included the distance we’d have to travel up or down to reach our desired waypoint).

Numerous other features–such as time, date, temperature, and sunrise and sunset times for location–round out the Navigator’s comprehensive set of navigation features. If you need a rugged, high-quality aid for your global expedition, or if you just routinely get lost in the woods, the Multi-Navigator is worth consideration. –J. Curtis

Pros:

• Multiple, accurate functionality
• Runs off only 2 AAs
• Rugged

Cons:

• No innate mapping capabilities

Atlantis X-5600 5.6″ Touch Screen LCD GPS and MP3 and Video Player, Image Viewer, and Back Up Camera Inputs Used – John C. Hamilton – Kenner LA
I can’t beleive this happened twice. I ordered this unit in Feb and was sent a package that had been opened before and when I attempted to turn the unit on was given the opportunity to see where the previous user from Upper New York State had used the unit before. THEY ACTUALLY SHIPPED ME A USED UNIT. When I tried to reorder a new unit I was told they were out of stock. In June I reordered and to my utter amazement I got a second used unit. This time used by someone in Brooklyn NY. If Amazon can’t guarantee that it’s venders are sending out new product they should drop them. What a Joke.

TomTom GO 32MB GPS Navigator How did I ever get by without it? – cricket62 – Cincinnati, OH USA
First I would like to thank the reviewer who brought up the TamTam software to make this device macintosh compatible. It was the deciding factor in my purchase. There are only a couple of minor inconveniences that aren’t worthy of a star removal. I’m not sure how to put this, but the device is not very “grippable”. i’m always afraid of it slipping from my hands because of its shape and smooth contours. Also, it is difficult to see the screen from some angles in bright daylight. However, this GPS system is unbelievable! Very simple and intuitive, portable, long lasting battery, clear voice instructions, 3D visuals and comes with a nice carrying case. You would not believe how small this thing is, yet the maps and menus are easy to read.
After owning for some years a Garmin Street Pilot III I decided to try a new GPS, hoping that technology would have improved- not that the Street Pilot wasn’t doing its job, but there’s always room for improvement. After seraching and re-searching, I went for the TomTom Go Plus with pre-loaded maps. Reasons? Several… A neat feature of the TT is that, with all the maps on the unit, there is no need for computer set up. You don’t even need a computer, as a matter of fact, to use the unit right off the box. Another big plus is that there is no need to have all sort of cables across your dash -antenna, audio… The TT has only one cable, the power cable… which in a short trip you can do without, since the unit will run for at least 5 hours on a fully charged internal battery. The Street Pilot would run about 15 minutes with 6 AA batteries… More good stuff: the menus are very easy to navigate -touch screen- and information is entered with a screen keyboard (no more scrolling through the alphabet). I just wish that the keyboard was “qwert” instead of alphabetical. The satellite reception is much better than with the Street Pilot, and its built-in antenna picks up the signal just about anywhere you mount the unit… even inside the house! (magic?) The mounting winshield bracket works well, although in cars with very deep windshield (ie Beetle) places the unit kind of far to be able to read it comfortably. I have not tried the adhesive pad that comes in the box, after reading somewhere that it may become permanently attached to your dash… Navigation is cool, you probably read about the nice strong sound, and is simplified in comparison with the Street Pilot- less info about surrounding streets that are not in your route, only the name of the next street appears on the map. And the 3D view…I don’t think I can live without it after trying it! Entering your destination is fast an definetly easier than with the Street Pilot. I have read some reviews that talk about the glare… and yes, that’s a problem, and you may have to re-position the unit ’til you find the sweet spot. Downloading the latest software version (4.42) from their site -totally painless- increases the brightness of the screen, and that helped a bit. And finally, a couple of things that could be better: even though all the maps are loaded, you need to swap maps when you travel between regions, unless you use the less detailed “highway map” to route your destination. I that case, if your destination is a smal town, it will not be in the memory, and you’ll have to settle for the next best (or bigger) city. The second issue is the points of interest. Garmin maps seem to be “better”, including, for example, grocery stores, and above all, phone numbers -yes, it is convenient to be able to call a motel ahead to check availability… but not with your TT… On the other hand, is very easy to make your own list of POIs..to which you can add phone numbers if you wish. Despite these little “flaws”, I definetly recommend this GPS… TomTom: 1D00.081 TomTom GO is a stand-alone, portable and easy-to-use car navigation appliance that incorporates navigation software, maps and GPS receiver in one device.
