Top ten GPS for April 2009
It's the first of the month, which means it's time to look back at the stats and check out last month's top ten. In auto navigators, a couple of TomTom units moved up, and the new voice command nuvi 885T has cracked the list.
On the sport side there was a major shift though, as the perennial number one, the venerable 60CSx dropped to number three. The new champ is the touch screen Oregon 400t. Also noteworthy is the continued rise of the DeLorme PN-40.
As usual, the rankings are based on the number of times each GPS review has been read here on GPS Tracklog. With over 100,000 total page views for the 20 units below, it’s bound to tell us something about consumer interest in the GPS marketplace.

Top 10 GPS for March 2009
It's the first of the month, which means it's time to look back at the stats and check out last month's top ten. There were few changes in March, although new units continued to climb in the auto rankings.

Top ten GPS for February 2009
It's the first of the month, which means it's time to look back at the stats and check out last month's top ten. There weren't many changes this time around. We are seeing newer Garmin units moving steadily up in the ranks, but that's the only discernable trend.

Now that we've said goodbye to January, we can report the top ten GPS for the month. A couple of notes on the auto list - legacy units continue to drop off; meanwhile TomTom improved their showing with three models in the top ten. On the sport and handheld side, the Magellan Triton 1500 keeps it from being a complete Garmin sweep. Finally, some newer, high-end models from Garmin made it onto each list -- the nuvi 755T and Oregon 400t, despite the state of the economy.
We're out of holiday mode, so we're back to rankings being based on the number of times each GPS review has been read here on GPS Tracklog.

Top ten GPS for December 2008

Our December rankings are in, with few surprises. There are a couple of notable, albeit pricey, absences from the lists though -- the nuvi 7x5T series and the Garmin Oregon handheld -- which probably says more about the state of the economy than the desire for high-end toys.
Also note that despite the strong showing of the aggressively priced TomTom ONE 125, Garmin pulled off a near sweep of the auto top ten. On the handheld side, it's worth pointing out that DeLorme is now the only company out there really challenging Garmin's dominance in this category.
Like last time, this month's figures are based on how many GPS units have been sold by our partners (Amazon, etc.) via GPS Tracklog and GPS Deals. As a result, the figures are heavily influenced by promotional offerings during the month. As usual, the links below go to our GPS reviews.

Top 10 GPS for November 2008

I'm going to do something a little different this month. Typically these rankings reflect the number of times each review is read, but this month's figures are based on how many GPS units have been sold by our partners (Amazon, etc.) via GPS Tracklog and GPS Deals.
This different method of ranking has resulted in some ties, because rather than thousands of page views, we're often looking at just a few sales of each unit.
There are some interesting holiday trends emerging here. The market seems to be split between newer models and two budget categories -- entry-level devices and older (often discontinued) units on clearance. There definitely seems to be a trend towards budget units and away from the latest and greatest. As usual, the links below go to our GPS reviews.

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.

After a lot of changes last month, there were mostly minor shifts in our top ten list this time around. The biggest change was the TomTom GO 730 jumping from the 9th spot to 3rd, perhaps due to some good deals on a relatively high-end device. The trans-Atlantic Garmin nuvi 770 bumped the newer nuvi 205W out of the tenth spot on the list. On the sport/handheld GPS side, there were only minor shifts.

There were some breakthroughs in this month's top ten GPS list, with the TomTom XL 330-S and Garmin Oregon 400t debuting in third place, respectively, on the auto and handheld charts. Otherwise, there were only minor changes, though I will note that another new unit, the Garmin nuvi 205W, managed to crack the top ten auto list as well.
