Review on ๐ŸŒ Garmin nuvi 1300 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator (No Longer in Production) by Brandon Show

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great GPS for the price

I bought this GPS from another store but would like to return it and redeem it here as I found it much cheaper here. I had never owned or used a GPS navigator before so I was a total noob as to what to do with it when I opened the box. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's really easy to use, right out of the box. I turned it on and waited a few minutes for the device to find satellites and I was good to go! My husband and I took a weekend trip to Napa that same weekend that got us to all of our planned destinations easily and accurately. This saved us a lot of hassle compared to our usual methods of printing out Google Maps or trying to navigate using Google Maps for iPhone directions. The list of attractions even included wineries that we visited so it was very easy to find. On stretches where we might have missed a turn, the device quickly recalculated and put us on the right track. One problem we had was with some directions: the device told us the destination was on the right, when in fact it was on the left. It doesn't really matter much as we made it to our goal quite well no matter what, but it's just a minor thing to watch out for. We did not notice any other inconsistencies in the routes driven. i really think this gps is a really great product but after a little shopping comparison here at revain i decided to order a nรผvi 265w/265wt. For around $30 more than $1300, you can get traffic information and Bluetooth phone functionality.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
