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.
9 / 9
The Garmin Zumo 220 is a motorcycle GPS that's equally at home in a car. It's easy to use and can be operated while wearing gloves, and its wide range of features like lane guidance makes it very easy to navigate with. A few motorcycle-friendly extras like a digital fuel gauge make it even more attractive to bikers.
