Algonquin Story

Just got a new GPS and it really saved us from getting lost on the back country roads of Algonquin Park. Without it we would have been camping on the side of the road.

Testing the Garmin

New friend we found along the 401

I purchased my first Garmin online and was very excited to try it out. We (wife and I) booked a hotel in Niagara Falls and punched in the address on the Garmin. We did absolutely no pre-planning or map reading and the Garmin brought us to the valet parking at the exact time we were told we would arrive. Since that first trip, I have made at least 6 sales for Garmin.

Fishing with my GPS

I went fishing a few weeks ago with my family in the thousand islands. The GPS was really helpful in finding the way, especially for letting us know of special attractions so we could stop and play. Really happy with my GPS. Clear to read, easy to understand and very accurate. Way to go! :D

Hockey Mom's Best Friend

Well the hockey season has started and I'm a true hockey mom. Up at 5am for early morning practices and travelling miles to games and tournaments. My hubby works shifts so my GPS has truly been "mom's" best friend on the road. I get detailed exact directions and, knock on wood, haven't been lost. Thank you so much. Not only do I get my boys and their friends to the games on time I feel safe and secure when on the road.

Cross Country

My boyfriend and I were travelling across Canada on our summer holiday. Neither of us have ever been to Saskatchewan and there was a little inn we wanted to stay at. Our GPS locator helped us find our way to the inn with the quickest route or the scenic route.

Lake Huron Tour

Sunset view of Lake Huron

It was my birthday and I had received my brand new Garmin GPS60CX and was ready to navigate my latest adventure from Coal Point Bay to Little Tub Harbour. The GPS was easy to use and accurate.....the tour through the great lakes was awesome. Our Kayak adventure was amazing. I can't image my trip without the fantasic GPS60CX! We found amazing creeks, falls and other hiden treasures. Thanks and I recommend it for any other adventure seeking kayaker!

Using the Garmin Rino GPS in India

Hi. This is Santosh From Bnaglore India.

We all friends went to Bandipur and Nagarhollae (Karnataka big and depth forest) trip for 5 days. It was amazing trip, I have taken my rino520 units.

When all our friends went to inside the forest by grouping ourselves (3 person each group, total 3 groups) and each group went in different direction. Each group was carrying 1 Rino unit. We had missed each other many times, even we went in different direction we are able to communicate each other with location info and finally we met at the end of the day. Each group has stored their tracks and downloaded into Mapsource.

We got full map with river location and some animals, location, some big tree location. We are happy with Garmin Rino units.

Now we decided to carry GPS units for all our trips!

Santosh Kumar, India

GPS On A Ninja

I just wanted to show off my Ram mount purchased from Express Mounts, it holds my Garmin Nuvi with ease and firmly keeps it into position. I usually plug my cable to the Nuvi into my power outlet and off I go on the trip. It has saved me from going the wrong direction countless times from roads that were not marked but the GPS always knows where I am. Thanks to Ram-Mounts there is no end to the possibilities to how items can be added.

Cruzen with my GPS

Ian at GPS City Canada (gpscity.ca) who has always given me great service told me that if I submitted a story, I had better take a picture of my motorcycle with its RAM mounted iWay 500C in an interesting place...!! Problem is, I never have a camera with me when I go out for a scoot. You'll have to settle for a picture taken by a 9 year old kid who was riding behind his dad during our excursion to beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia. Beleive it or not, this is the best picture we got from that trip that clearly shows the GPS mounted to my windshield and handlebars.

I have two GPS Units, the iWAY 500c by Lowrance, and a Garmin Nuvi 250. I use interchangable RAM mountig hardware for the various applications I have for these units. I have purchased all of my GPS gear and accessories from GPS City and am thoroughly impressed with their service. I order my goods online and stop by their Calgary shipping depot to pick up my purchases in person... thanks Ian!

Although I have used the Garmin Nuvi with it's new RAM bracket on my Honda Shadow Aero motorcycle, I prefer the iWay on my bike. The screen on the iWay can be set much brighter than the Garmin Nuvi and is much bigger - these attributes are also very handy on the handlebars in the bright sunshine. I have hard-wired the iWAY into the electrical system with the accessory chord it came with - would love to find another one of these hardwire chord connections but Lowrance has discontinued the iWAY 500c model. I don't have to worry about an internal battery fading since the iWay is hooked up directly to my motorcycle battery and alternator. I have also installed a 25watt amplifier and small speakers on my bike so I can take advantage of the iWay's 10GIg of MP3 music storage!!

Unfortunately the picture includes me and a residental street in Chilliwack BC. NExt one I'll make sure we have a nice background!!

Salt water fly fishing and sailing with my GPS

I fish from my Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 inside the Gulf of Mexico near Placida and Gasparilla Sound. Rigged with a rudder, rod holder, and my Explorist 600, it's a stable fishing machine that can handle rolling swells in the bay or drift silently along the flats in a few inches of water.

With the Magellan BlueNav maps I feel confident exploring the maze of islands and inlets looking for redfish tailing in places too remote for waders and too shallow for most boats. These maps tell me which inlets lead through to hidden bays and where I'll find troughs of deeper water that reds use to get to and from the flats. I would never wander through the islands without having bread crumbs to get me back out, and when I find a really great spot, I save it as a favorite so I can get back to exactly that place. From where it's positioned, I have no trouble seeing the screen while paddling. As you can see I've been using the Magellan mount, but I just upgraded to a RAM system for it tonight from GPS CIty and it was the best price I found.

My friends have a 35-foot sailboat with GPS but my mapping shows much more detail than theirs, so when the fog rolls in on Charlotte Harbor, mine is the one we confidently navigate by. The color screen really helps when you're looking for red and green channel markers. My maps give a clear outline of the navigable channel through the Intercoastal, and if you know anything about this area, it's shockingly shallow, and a sailboat that draws 5 feet can find itself in 3 feet of water by being just a few yards off track. We even use my GPS to trim sails, tweaking them while watching the speed output which is much more sensitive than the one on the boat. I couldn't imagine being on the water without my GPS.
