If you look up Nuvi in the dictionary, you won't find anything, and on a traditional US keyboard, it's hard to even type N u (hold down alt, then on your numeric keypad type 0252) v i. Go ahead, give it a shot. But if you go into any major retail store that offers GPS units you will definitely find Garmin Nuvi GPS units all over the place competing as one of the best in car, on the trail or in the airplane navigation system solutions money can buy. Today we are looking at their 680 model which features Bluetooth connectivity and MSN Direct which provides real-time traffic data, movie time and more. The Garmin Nuvi 680 has a street price around $399 USD. Check out our full review after the jump.

Garmin's pocket-sized nuvi 350 is a portable GPS unit that aims to be more than just a GPS.

Despite some weaknesses, Garmin has produced a sound navigation product in the nuvi 200W. The maps are very clear, routing is competent and disaster free, while audio instructions are mostly reliable. More importantly it's extremely easy to use and most of the significant functions are very obvious and simple to access - it's almost worth having for that detour function alone.

The Nuvi 660 is Garmin's latest all-in-one sat-nav device, also known as a 'Personal Travel Assistant'. Sitting at the top of the company's range, the Nuvi 660 is special because it offers a larger-than-normal 4.3-inch touchscreen display (480x272 pixels, QVGA), integrated traffic capabilities, FM transmitter, and built-in Bluetooth. These new attributes are in addition to the GPS navigator, traveller's reference, and digital entertainment features.

Bolstered by the success of the their StreetPilot automotive range Garmin announced their new N?vi line of in-car SatNav back in September 2005 claiming it represented the "pinnacle in integrated consumer electronics for travellers". Today I want to see how much truth lies behind that statement.

Garmin has put its GPS expertise to good use with the Forerunner 301. This is a great little unit that rolls, speed, distance, stopwatch and heart rate functionality into one well integrated package. If you want to be able to judge your performance no matter what activity you're doing, this little box of tricks is invaluable. In fact, if it wasn't for the slight accuracy issue with distance over elevation, the Forerunner would have scored a perfect 10, but it's still more than worthy of recommendation.

It's pricey but the iQue M5 is worth it. The hardware is sturdy, the specs reasonable, the GPS software is powerful and the integration with Windows Mobile is elegant. You'll need to budget for an extra card but if you do you can take all of the UK with you, so to speak, on the best GPS/PDA combo currently available.

The StreetPilot c320 bears an uncanny resemblance to the Tom Tom Go, although it is a bit more svelte. The SD card slot is located on the left hand side, rather than at the front on the Tom Tom, and on the right you'll find the power button, mini USB connector and an analogue volume wheel. The latter is a great feature, making it very simple to adjust the volume as your environment changes, or as the music on your car stereo gets louder.
