Garmin 285: Initial Impressions
The Garmin nüvi 285W/285WT Portable GPS Navigator is the perfect answer whether you take a few trips throughout the year or travel quite frequently. If you are skeptical about whether you would even use a GPS device and whether it is worth the cost, I have found that the Garmin 285 is invaluable and far outweighs the initial costs.
For example, even after living in a medium sized city for 17 years, I still do not know where every street is located. So after the initial setup, I decided to put Garmin nuvi navigation to the test. I input my destination and was off. Everything was going well, but I really wanted to put the Garmin 285 to the test, so I decided to throw the device a few curve balls. I purposely missed a few turns to see how quickly the Garmin 285w/285wt would respond to change. It performed flawlessly.
After my initial testing, I still was not convinced that the Garmin 285 was worth the cost. I said to myself, "Okay that's cute, but what else does this thing do to?" I had to justify the cost in my mind. After playing with the device, I discovered that it will find my favorite restaurants, point out points of interest such as school zones, map the terrain, and much more. I was giddy with excitement!
Since I fervently believe that map reading is a lost art, it took me a while to embrace GPS technology. And I STILL believe that everyone should be to read a physical map, but I must say that I love this device. Click here to discover more about the Garmin nüvi 285W/285WT Portable GPS Navigator...
