Keeping the Windmill Alive - Where was your last trip with your GPS?

went to but groceries

used it to find a cranberry farm in ontario

Orlando, Titusville, Ft Pierce vicinity.....

Took a 9 day trip to Superior, Spooner and Minong WI. GPS worked flawlessly until I got fairly deep in the woods on old dirt logging roads. I sometimes had to drive 10 miles to get to a known starting point.

been stuck in montgomery county md too long. i need a roadtrip to anywhere.

A5tlanta, GA to Washington, DC. My Garmin c550 led me door to door.

Omaha, NE to Cedar Falls, IA

Had a relaxing weekend down there.

New York area can be daunting but my 765 with Traffic alerts has been invaluable. New 1490 will get try out there this week.

Excluding some errands ran, my last real journey with my GPS was to SchillingBridge Winery and Brewery in the fair town of Pawnee City, Nebraska. Well worth the journey on a Saturday night for a wine tasting (or beer tasting) and their homemade brick oven style pizza.

Nothing too exciting - went up to Delaware to see the in-laws.

Just headed out to Cincy for the day.

We've been using it all over Arizona (Tucson and surrounding area). Tuesday we're heading to Yuma, then to San Clemente.

So far it's been good. We had one glitch when heading to downtown Tucson art museum. It took us off the highway, then had us take 4 rights, making a square in a little neighborhood, then took us back on the highway. I think some of the NAVTEQ programmers were bored one day and programmed this little joke into the directions.

Planning to use my GPS when I got to Vegas. Wish me luck.

Just don't loose it at the tables. You may need it to get home.

Local Target was out of specific sets of Christmas lights. An associate checked stocks at other stores, and directed me to the one I've never been to about 10 miles away.

check out all the Walmarts in the Long Island area. Drove out east and found 2 wrong locations. It's fun doing a trip to check out the POIs to make sure they're correct.

Having lived in Tucson previously, there are two streets that are one way only downtown. It is possible that the route avoided going the wrong way down a one way street. Just a possibility.

Chicago to Necedah Wisconsin for a fishing trip.

Went to see relatives and shopped Black Friday. GPS worked flawlessly with the new maps.

I went no where in particular this last weekend. But I did have the gps on.

Loganville, GA to Charlottesville, VA. What a beautiful drive. My unit was very accurate thank goodness.

Beavers Bend OK for some camping.

For anyone interested in a side by side comparison of the a Nuvi 1490T and TomTom 540S which will run for the next 3 to 4 months in the western US may want to have a look at:

Just across town to see my counsellor.

couldn't have found aurora without the gps

Up in the forest near Peublo Colorado!

Just got my unit a week ago and so far have just used it around town mostly and to/from work. I am impressed at the accuracy thus far. I really enjoy it and can't wait to do some long trips with it.

Got us from Tucson, to Yuma, from Yuma to San Clemente where we completed our coast to coast journey! Will stay in CA until Dec. 12th, then head back pretty much the same way we came.

My husband did the route on mapsource, then imported it into the 765T.

i almost lost my windmill. thanks for this

Made another trip to TN for Thanksgiving weekend.

Last Sunday, nuvi 760 with the latest firmware worked fine (no lockups) and traffic was reasonably clear for once!

We'll see how tomorrow's trip goes

We were taking friends to downtown Charlotte for the annual Christmas show at the Belk Theater and were dining at a downtown restaurant before the show. I used my Nuvi 350 to take us right to the restaurant parking garage. Oh! and the show was wonderful!

Hope to go north this Christmas season, my 250w works real fine.

inwood to brooklyn, ny
not been out in a while

Both have performed well on recent jaunts.
Some strange things w/ the Nuvi when it tried to calculate me back on the road when I was on a recently opened, new road. Kept shutting off and rebooting?!?!?
Not crazy about the auto zoom.

I just came back from a round trip from Long Island NY to Fargo ND.
Went through 9 states. It made the trip a lot easier.
I didn't have to look at one map. I drove 1600 miles each way in 4 days per leg. (as I get older, I can't do marathon drives anymore) One of the nice things about my 350 is the lodging locator. just find a motel on my route and it gave me the tel. no.
Just call from the car and the room was ready when we got there. My wife loved it.

Just returned (Three weeks ago) from a trip from Chicago to Waynesville, NC.. Encountered the I40 Landslide.... (Our Destination was 17 miles past the I40 rockslide-- MM3 in N.C.)
Took mountain roads around it (off I40 to 25/70 at Newport TN, to Hot Springs, then NC 209 to I40 east of slide)... Great motorcycle road in the summer, but not when your in an SUV, racing sundown, and you've never been to the house you rented before, and it's at the top of a mountain, about 1/2 to 3/4 mile past the end of the Garmin Maps (As it turned out!!)

GPS worked beautifully. It was my first experience with TourGuide (Set up Crackerbarell as TourGuide).

And learned under the gun how to set up a "Via"
(To get around the I40 Rockslide)

It worked fine.... POI's and TourGuide both improved the GPS "Experience". !!

Yes I will agree Central Florida is tuff to get around.I make several trips a year there and would be lost off the main highways if I did not have my Garmin.They are always doing new roads from no where.My familys street took three years to show up on new GPS maps.Good luck traveling

I went from Central New Jersey to Brooklyn Cruise Treminal to pick up a friend. I am not familiar with the area, so my GPS it helped a lot.

Did the normal Sunday drive to and from the Baltimore area today. No issues on I-95, so no alerts from the 760 to warn me about. I did notice an unusually high number of drivers for whom red lights and no turn on red restrictions have no meaning - complete disregard for any semblance of common sense. It's scary out there...

to find a seamstress.....hit the Danbury Mall while nearby...

...except that I drove through a snow shower on Saturday. Luckily, traffic was ok.

Just returned from another biz trip down to San Antonio.

now you need a gps to find the car in the forest

trip from Beaufort, SC to DC

My most recent trip was from Dallas, TX to Denver, CO for the Monolith Music Festival this year. It was a great time and our roadtrip buddies immediately fell in love with our low-end Nuvi. In 2 weeks, we've got a 2 week roadtrip from Dallas to Aiken, SC for the holidays. Looking forward to uploading some new POIs and taking lots of detours and sightseeing expeditions off the usual boring interstate route!

second week, I didnt use my gps... actually I did use my golf gps.. if that counts...

Went to Mansfield, TX this past Saturday and found a few errors in the POIs.

Loganville Ga to Spartanburg sc To see the grandchildren. It looks a lot like Christmas there. My garman works fine. Gave my daughter a garman sports watch (for runners). I hope she will like it. She trains for marathons.
