Garmin Mobile 20 GPS Kit review: Garmin Mobile 20 GPS Kit

In this day and age, buying a standalone GPS device isn't the only way to get navigation help. If you have a cell phone or smart phone , you can add software or GPS accessories to turn your mobile into a handheld navigation device. One such solution is...

Great receiver!

This is a great mini GPS receiver! The stand makes it easy to see and it's not as bulky as the normal ones.

perfect for the frequent traveler

Using mine since Feb '07, first with a BlackBerry 7100, then with the faster 8100 Pearl. Absolutely fabulous. One particularly useful feature when in other (boroughs or) cities is the finder, which provides all locations of a post office, particular...
