Customer Reviews

Good Quality Product
The Garmin Nüvi 300 (which, by the way doesn't have bluetooth) does what it says. Reliable, easy to use, small and seems well built. Connects to a Mac, which in my world of 'ah...except it won't work on a Mac' deserves a mention in it's own right.

One word of caution, this particular product is 'newly overhauled'. I have this very product and before it was newly overhauled I can only guess it was it was someone else's. Not a problem, as it looks brand new, you'd never know, unless you want to register it with Garmin and the previous owner already had.

Not to worry though, after two emails and one scanned copy of my proof of purchase, they deleted the old registration and I now have mine registered with a free software update. Quick, painless and simple. All in all complete satisfaction.

By the way, just to be clear, you can't connect it to your phone and you do need an extra FM receiver for live traffic reporting. This is basic A-B driving at a reasonable cost.

Garmin Nuvi
I purchased this, and as soon as i got it home i followed the instructions on the screen to set it up.

Dead easy.

it is very accurate, to within 20 feet, (that's good enough for me). however you must set it up correctly or you will get taken down country roads. (as in Don't set it to avoid highways).

It shows the safety cameras, as well as most of the mobile camera sites, and warns you if your travelling over the limit in these zones.

it has one fantastic feature that i love, as in it is also a handsfree kit for my mobile phone.

I have a Nokia N73, and after doing some searching on Nokia's website, i downloaded the Contacts download facility, now as soon as i switch my nuvi on, it pairs with my phone, and it downloads all of my contact information to the nuvi.

this allows me to use the touch screen to make calls through the Nuvi.

all in all a very good buy. well worth the money.

Excellent value!
I bought this as a gift for christmas, and it is truly amazing! i had read reviews of other sat navs that were more expensive, and supposedly with better technology, and they had bad reviews. The signal of this sat nav is really good, and is so easy to use. And for less than £100, it is amazing value!
