Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s Garmin nuvi 50LM review:

The Garmin nüvi 50LM is the top of the line navigator in Garmin’s new 2012 Essential series, offering a 5” wide screen and lifetime map updates. The models in this series are meant to be basic navigators at a budget price, lower than what we’ve previously seen for Garmin entry-level models. Nevertheless, they do come with some features not previously found on low-end nuvis, such as speed limit display, lane assist and junction view.

Hey golfers, don’t miss this deal. Amazon has the Garmin Approach G5 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS on sale for $204.99. That’s $25 lower than we’ve ever seen. Theoretcailly the deal goes thru June 17, but we’ve seen Amazon raise the price ahead of their deadline too many times to put much stock in that.

Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s Garmin Approach G5 review:

The Garmin Approach G5 is the first golf GPS created by Garmin in-house (as opposed to the GolfLogix unit, which is built on the eTrex platform with software developed by another company). The Approach G5 is built on the new Garmin Oregon touch-screen platform.

This ruggedized waterproof unit includes thousands of preloaded U.S. golf courses, touch-targeting, manual pin positioning, course preview, digital scorecard, computer scorecard review, and a high-sensitivity receiver.

Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s Garmin dezl 560LMT review:

The Garmin dezl 560LMT is a new top of the line navigator designed for commercial truckers (though it is likely to be quite popular with RVers as well). It has an ultra-wide 5” screen, preloaded maps of the US, Canada and Mexico, and comes with lifetime map updates and traffic.
