Garmin's are amazing GPS devices. So what if they didn't tack on 50 things? If you add a bunch of new features, then you have an iPhone or a Nokia N95 (both terrible for driving). I just want an up to date model that will tell me how to get somewhere and when to turn. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ramkanda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2008 1:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin releases a handful of underwhelming nüvi GPS units]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/garmin-releases-a-handful-of-underwhelming-nuvi-gps-units/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/garmin-releases-a-handful-of-underwhelming-nuvi-gps-units/</guid><description><![CDATA[These are actually quite substantial upgrade, particularly the 7-series. 755T is particularly a nice product, with spiffier looking maps with building and road graphics (catching up to competitors), free lifetime traffic report, and street name and lane change announcements.
