Best Garmin GPS units
We roundup the best Garmin sat navs on the market
US company Garmin may not have as big a presence in Australia as it does in many European markets, but its range of portable in-car GPS units are some of the most impressive on offer. Garmin also has a huge presence in marine and handheld GPS units; the latter targeted at recreational and professional bike riders, walkers, runners, and hikers; while its Zumo range caters for motorcyclists.
Garmin's GPS units are easily recognisable by a very simple but ultimately effective user interface. The company is also responsible for producing the nuvi 3790T — a GPS we consider to sexiest, sleekest and best looking we've ever seen.
2 / 9
Garmin's nuvi 1690 is Australia's first online GPS. The nuLink service adds to what already was an excellent overall navigational experience. If you're in the market for a top-end GPS with all the latest features, this is a must-have.
