The Garmin nuvi 44LM is one of the company’s 2013 Essential series models. While this 4.3″ device is considered an entry-level model, it includes features such as speed limit display, junction view and lane assist; things that were relegated to high-end units not that long ago. The 44LM comes with preloaded maps of the US and Canada, includes lifetime map updates, and is a great choice for someone who needs a basic navigator without a bunch of bells and whistles. read more

The Garmin nuvi 52LM is one of the company’s 2013 Essential series models, and while considered an entry-level device, it includes features such as speed limit display, junction view and lane assist – things that were relegated to high-end models not that long ago. It’s a great choice for someone who needs a basic navigator without the bells and whistles, and it’s got an extra-large 5″ display to boot. It also comes with preloaded maps of the entire US except Alaska and lifetime map updates. read more

Magellan eXplorist 510 review
Hands on with the Magellan eXplorist 510
The Magellan eXplorist 510 is a mid-range model in Magellan’s handheld line. Like the eXplorist 610 and 710, this model sports a bright 3.0” color touchscreen and 3.2 MP geotagging camera, along with a microphone and speaker for field notes. All three units have a micro-SD slot for memory expansion, are set up for paperless geocaching, and come with a pre-loaded “World Edition” basemap that features a full road network for the US, Canada, Western Europe and Australia.
Garmin tempe review
The Garmin tempe is an external temperature sensor that is compatible with many Garmin handhelds that have ANT+ wireless data transfer capability, including the Dakota 20, fenix, GPSMAP 62s(t)(c), GPSMAP 78s(c), Montana series and Oregon x50 series. Compatibility has also been promised for the eTrex 30 and Rino 650/655t, but so far we’ve only seen a beta firmware update for the eTrex 30 allowing it. read more

Garmin fenix review
Hands on Garmin fenix review
The Garmin Fenix is a new backcountry sportswatch, Garmin’s first to use their popular Forerunner form factor. With an up to 50 hour battery life, this wrist-top GPS is most likely to appeal to two classes of users: (1) those who want both hands free (rock climbers, off trail hikers, and even some hunters and fishermen) and (2) those who demand a long battery life, such as backpackers.
TomTom VIA 1605TM review
Hands on review of the TomTom VIA 1605TM
The TomTom VIA 1605TM is an unusual size; it’s the first 6″ navigator that I’m aware of. TomTom seems to be investigating a new sweet spot, between the 5″ models which have come to dominate our rankings and the 7″ behemoths Magellan is hawking to the truck and RV crowd. read more
