Not sure if I should upgrade to a new Garmin with lifetime map update (not sure what new one offers old ones don't). Or just update my older nuviGarmin 760 with lifetime map update?

I'm interested in buying a garmin forerunner gps watch (fitness watch). It's gps based so it makes tracking your runs accurate. Before I drop 0+ on one of these I just wanted to know from anyone who uses one if they would recommend getting one. If so, which one do you have? I'm leaning toward a forerunner 305 model. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Can someone help me.
Normally we will key-in coordinate to get specific position.
In my case I want to know the coordinate from specific position on Garmin Nuvi GPS.
I know the instruction varies from one to the other..at least will get the basic command.
Thanks.

I am thinking about getting one. I know Garmin is highly rated but so is Tom Tom. A lot of people prefer Tom Tom and it is about less expensive than the Garmin. Just wondering the main difference. Let's say between the Tom Tom One and the Garmin 200?

I'm thinking of buying a garmin gps...and want to know if it will tell me my speed that I am going.

I want to connect my Garmin Nuvi 360 to my Mazda 6 car stero. I know how to connect it via an FM modulator, but can I make it so it will interrupt what I am listening to in order to state the commands (not over the music)? Any thoughts?

How do they make it interrupt the music on built-in navigation systems?

I'm looking to buy a Garmin- any suggestions? Don't need bluetooth, traffic might be nice, nothing else really too important to me. Thanks for your help!

I have a Garmin BlueLogger GPS that i used with the Street Atlas Software on a PC. I have a MacBook now running OS X. Is there any mapping/nav software for my mac that will work with the GPS signal from that device?

Maybe it's a bit clumsy question. What I wanted to ask is where could I find some reviews and comparison of best seller Garmin GPS systems? By best selling I mean online sales. I would like to read some reviews, compare prices, see what other folks say about them etc.

I have a Garmin Nüvi 3760 and I want to know if it has Ireland on it. I have updated the maps for my home country and several around it (Netherlands) and I'm afraid to clear space for that I might have deleted Ireland (or never had it). It there a way to get a map up that shows all the places the GPS will work???

I've been shopping for a Garmin GPS and I see as many refurbished units as new on the market. Besides seller honesty, is there different markings on a refurbished than a new unit? If so, what are they?
I contacted Garmin and they said they don't re-mark refurbished items. Refurbished do come in plain white boxes as opposed to new items in colorful retail boxes. I forgot to ask about the memory, but I don't see how a destination is retained if one deletes it.

When i buy my garmin gps system what should i expect? when i pull it out of the box will it be ready to use? or will i have to do something more? do i have to pay for it over and over, or do i pay for it just once upfront? i am buying from amazon.com?

I am starting to question my wife, sad but true.
Is there a way to use our Garmin 255 as a tracking device to see where she has been?
