Steve check out the trails on the maps provided at the sledgps website, with an actual trail map from your state's snowmobile association. THey are not even close. I wouldnt waste your money at SledGPS.

The GPS on my S5000 works very well. Prior to buying, I read from just one reviewer that the GPS wasn't accurate. However, I have used it on several occasions with the Google Maps app, because my son and I swapped cars for three months, and he took my TomTom. I've had NO trouble with it, and it's always directed me correctly, even when I forced it to recalculate the route. I used it WITH WIFI TURNED OFF on a road trip (though I planned the route with WiFi, of course), and it kept me on the intended route to my destination about 70 miles away.

This is a great system. I believe that all of the Nuvi systems are set up to work with this type of mount. I believe they either have the receiver right on the back or there is a clip system that comes with the Nuvi's so they can be used with this type of system.

Looks to me like they're pushing Nuvis. Type garmin in google and go to the manufacturer's site. You can compare 4 side by side at a time.

Good question. I have never tried it but don't see why it would not work. As long as the ipilot is on and operating to allow the GPS function to trace the track. Next time out I'm going to try it.

Yes, I had one of those. Also, it works with all the Garmin Nuvi that I have had (4 in all).

Unfortunately, the satellite reception and lock by the Nuvi 260 will vary widely depending upon the receiving technology Garmin put in it. Basically, there are two different receivers (originally there were three, one being the SiRF Star III very early on). They have (or had) either the Bravo chip (not well received), or the MTK chip (highly received), but who knows today? Garmin has a tendency to shoot from the hip, so there may be a 3rd or even a 4th receiver vendor. My 260 came with the MTK chip, and I found it to be a surprisingly good performer. So, if you can find one that has the MTK chip, you should have solid reception and decent acquisition times (rarely over 1-1/2 minutes on cold starts ... but it can happen), and usually 30-45 seconds on warm starts.

I have used it to mark my way on horseback and then retrieve and review those trails. My other Garmins would then transplant to my computer mapping software and I would print them. I have not interfaced this Garmin with my computer and I can not recall if it will just because I no longer do that. Mine works fine in USA I do not know why it would not work in PI. I have had several Garmins this is not my favorite to use on horseback.

I just received a nuvi 360 that I had ordered July 2. It shipped from Lex. KY and came with the 2008 map software. Totally cool, especially the blue tooth connectivity. It is compatible with my Mac right out of the box too. dik

Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

I have only used the Garmin batt pack with my 800, so I can not comment on the nuvi. Best place for an answer would likely be Garmin Customer Support. Graham

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

I use the Garmin Zumo 390 on my VTX1300S, the navigation has been good whether I choose a "normal" route or select one that avoid highways and toll roads. I purchased mainly for the better screen view in bright light and for the audible directions via my Scala Rider headset. It has been very good for that. The screen still has some problems in bright sunlight. However, it is better than the Nuvi versions.

I have a Venture HC and a Nuvi 780. I have Topo US 2008 DVD and Inland Lakes Continental United States DVD. I use the mapsource PC software to put either topo or lake maps on the Venture HC. I use the lake software when trolling crankbaits to see lake map and trolling speed. I can run my trolling motor, watch depth finder, and keep an eye on the Venture HC lake map and speed to keep on course. Also have all the state planted brush pile waypoints transferred for the lake I troll. Small screen but works ok. Can also put lake or topo maps on a garmin nuvi 780.

I use the Garmin Glo inside the center console (plastic and between the driver seat and passenger seat, under my arm) of my 2014 Chev Silverado. Works fine receives well. Just plug it in, once in awhile to charge the battery.

I used this card in a Nuvi 3590. I have to admit that when I returned to my country of residence, the 3590 no longer wanted to give me turn-by-turn street name voice prompts. A short upload from the Garmin site and it was fixed again. The nuvi 500 is a smaller and more rugged unit than the 3590 and has the additional micro simcard slot which is pretty standard today. There's absolutely no reason why the card shouldn't work. Beware, though, the version that I got sent had a few glitches, where we drove roads which though completed about 2 years ago, were not yet on the card and the GPS got a bit confused. But 98% was OK.

The Garmin GTM 25 is for older models with the antenna connects to FM traffic and 2495LT Nuvi uses 3D traffic. My guss is NO.
