Customer Reviews:

great value for the money.......2007-02-12

The Garmin V has all the bells and whistles of the higher end 276C and 376C at a fraction of the cost. The processor is not quite as quick as the higher end units but works great for navigating to an address or locaton. For under $200 I love this unit.

Great first GPS.......2006-04-22

This GPS, in my evaluation, had the best balance between functionality, portability and size. I used to drive more than 2000 miles, in 3 different states on my vacations and it was terrific. Even it is not in color (comparing with other models) this is very convenient to use while you're driving or if you are walking. The only issue (problem) was the connection with my laptop, this GPS comes with a serial port connection (there is no USB connection), I had to buy an adaptor (serial to USB connector) to be able to load the maps (add 30$ to your budget). This is one of the best devices in this category, great to a beginner.

Garmin GPS V, nice rig, but...........2006-03-07

Rig was purchased primarily for geocaching, but secondarily for traveling in USA and Europe. Loads great from my desktop, but the package really needs a USB cable termination so you can use it on a laptop. This would allow on the road downloads, since unit only has 19 MB of memory. Incredible accuracy, which is a must in geocaching. Also, if you miss a turn, (difficult, but I did it), the V immediately recomputed a U turn, using side streets. If this had come with a USB cable, I would have rated it a 5.

I like it.......2006-02-26

I am very pleased with my GPS V, It replaces an older version and the newer model is great. For the money you can't bet it.

GPS V perfect for my needs.......2006-02-25

The most important features to you should guide your decision in the complex hand held GPS market. Sometimes new technology replaces features that I personally find essential and kick myself when the product is discontinued. My needs for a GPS was portability between two vehicles and sport boats as well as portability off the trail. Being able to replace batteries is critical rather than being out of luck with no charger available. That ruled out the Quest series for me. Color is nice, but consumes power. Waterproof is critical. Design with ergonomics of the GPS V is great in that the screen can be oriented portrait or landscape. Mounting in the vehicle or boat is perfect for my needs and on hikes the belt holder is nice. Living in the Northeast I was able to load detailed maps of the areas I travel 90% of the time and have plenty of additional space for planning road trips. Despite the fact that there are many nice features on the new units, for my personal purposes, there was no other unit than the GPS V that combined the features I desired.
