Bought in the close out section for 79.00. Sells on the Garmin site for over 200.00. Has some great features that I was not aware of until I bought it such as camera. Take a picture of a building or place setting and the GPS can save it as a location that you can navigate to. Also email, web, and MP3 player.
I love this thing. I had some experience with a Magellan and the GPS on my Blackberry, but this thing blows both of them away. I haven't been anywhere yet from SC to PA where this thing didn't know right where I was. It even knew the little alleys and side streets when I tried to confuse it. All this without even dl'ing the updates yet. The camera is great for the small megapixels, and all the functions work very well (calculator, alarm, etc.) It has a bazillion preprogrammed food and gas locations. The internet works a little slowly, but is good in a pinch. The wi-fi picks up signal very well. I'm usually very picky about my technology, and I have been very pleased with this for the price. It is going to lead me into getting a touch screen phone for sure!
I needed a GPS, digital camera, and phone book. This item has all the features. GPS works really well. The screen is small, but it's perfect size to mount it next to the rear view mirror if you know how to to run the electrical wires to the top of your car. Camera works well, but it can't zoom in or out. WIFI internet works slow, but it gives me access to yellow page.com; therefore I have my phone book in the palm of my hand. Overall, $80 well spent.
The GPS is easy to use with point by point driving instructions and downloading songs from Walmart is a breeze! Downloading the web updater and installing the recent maps takes awhile but it is worth the wait. Customer serv. were very helpful with a simple question. I found out the system is compatible for a 16GB microsd card for all your music needs and using camera geolocating storage. I haven't tried the wi-fi feature yet where you can email photos but I'm assuming it'll work as long as you are in a wi-fi hotspot. All in all the GPS system is an excellent value for everything that you get with it!
The Nuvi 295w is more than I ever expected. I bought one for my 18 year old son for Christmas so he would have a GPS in his car (he is a Walmart associate), and picked this model because it had WIFI capability so he could look up locations as needed when he was out and about. I never expected that it had all the features such as an awesome MP3 player, weather updates, camera and more built right in. The sleek design is as small as most popular cell phones so it slips right in your pocket. I liked it so much that I ended up getting one for myself. It will take up to a 16GB microSD card so you can put your entire music library into it. The only complaint that I had was that the documentation that came with it didn't tell how to put my MP3 library on the unit, HOWEVER when I contacted Garmin support online they sent me a detailed description of how to do it....so GO TECH SUPPORT!
