A GPS with WiFi and photo capablenesses at this price
By Kerry
If you do a search for a WiFi device, you come up with all sorts of costly appliances which normally require you to sign a contract or subscribe to a service since most include cell phone service. If you search for a GPS with Wi-Fi you come up with the Garmin 295W ONLY. If you read the features it shows a voice GPS with Wi-Fi Internet/E-mail capability and also has a phone that you may take pictures and send to someone. The price is well under anything else on the internet (if you could find something else) that gives you FREE internet access, a good gps AND a camera.
YES, WiFi is only good where there is Wi-Fi. NO, the megapixels on the camera won't match your DSLR or high quality cell phone. And Wi-Fi won't work well while you're in your car moving. But,if you're in a huge city, don't have a imagination phone or other device and want to cruise the internet, take a picture and send it or check your e-mail for FREE while you're eating at a fast feed joint (or near one) this device will be a dream come true. Because right now, there is not one thing else that does what this device has the capability to do.
I own 2 other Garmin GPS's, this will be my 3rd.

Garmin Nuvi 295w
By velvet marbles
This is my introductory GPS purchase. I did a lot of exploration and found the Garmin Nuvi 295w was the best choice for my uses & price range.
I'm very impressed with it's accuracy, ease of use, and just general handyness.
I do a lot of outdoor activenesses in rural areas. I wanted to kinda dual aim this unit for riding around on back roads in unfamiliar areas and likewise be capable to slip it in my pocket after parking the truck to use as a last resort....I'm kinda lost and need to find my truck. The "last position" feature is very nice for that purpose. I plan on in the end purchasing an further and added Topo map for use as a walk around hand kept unit.
Love the GPS. Also loved how quickly my item shipped and was received to my front door!
