Top ten GPS for October 2008

Not seeing last month's list? Click here for the latest listing of the top 10 GPS receivers on GPS Tracklog.

We're finally starting to see some of the older Garmin nuvi models drop out of the top 10 list, with the 205W, 255W and 755T all breaking into this month's  chart.

On the sport and handheld GPS side, the nuvi 500 and Oregon 300 made their debut. And this is the first month I can recall in a long time that a bike-friendly Garmin Edge model didn't make the cut.

As always, the rankings are based on the number of times each review has been read here on GPS Tracklog, which is usually a pretty good indicator of the overall GPS market.

Do you happen to know the closes Garmin unit to an old SP2720? I haven't been able to find anything like this unit and I worry that once it quits, there won't be anything to replace it. It is very advanced in customization and routing compared to what I've seen on the market recently.

I recently wrote on my blog about the iPhone's GPS, which surprised me with its abilities. Here's the link if you're interested. http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/iphone-does-gps/

Halloween day only - 40% off InvisibleSHIELD This is too good of a deal not to post it, but I also wanted to throw it out there for those of you not familiar with this great product. And it's not just for GPS -- it's great for iPhones, iPods or anything with a screen that can be scratched. I just put one on my Garmin Oregon 400t touchscreen GPS and I'm very happy with the results. I've seen no noticeable degradation in visibility. So here's the deal...

Magellan Maestro 4200 review The Magellan Maestro 4200 is a fairly basic 4.3" navigator. It includes pre-loaded maps of the entire U.S., except Alaska. But as a low-end unit, it has only 1.3 million POIs, and it comes without text-to-speech, so you'll just hear "approaching right turn," instead of "approaching right turn, Maple Street." <a href="http://adserve.bizrate.com/pp/content/tal/publisherID-3986/assetID-723/assetTypeID-9/placementID-16/showProducts-2/showRandom-0/start-1/sort-default/cache-1/noLog-1/standAlone-1/onlyOffers-1/categoryID-11210000/tokenID-7X/keyword-Magellan%20Maestro/style-">BizRate</a> Step up to the Maestro 4210 to get 6 million POIs and maps of Canada in addition to those of the U.S. Compare prices on the Magellan Maestro 4200 To see how the 4200 stacks up against other units, check out my Magellan auto GPS comparison chart.
