Which bang for the Buck Garmin GPS from states for less than $120

[KrisKros]

A friend from the states is coming here next month. I'll probably buy a garmin gps online then have it delivered to their house so they can bring it over here to the Philippines.

Which Garmin GPS should I get for under $120? Thanks guys.

I just bought Garmin 1350T for just $99 last Black Friday sale. Works like a charm here.

Alternate models would be 1300 or 265W. There are a lot to choose from for under $100.

Sir, what's the difference of 1300, 1300T and 1300LM? their prices are really different, how about the accuracy and speed? any difference in features?

1300T refers to Traffic Updates while 1300LM refers to Lifetime Map Updates... you can't use these features in the Philippines because the maps that are available here don't support them.

ay sorry! hehehe! mam pala!

bumibili nga po ako ngayon ng 255W, 7500 binibigay saken free shipping dito sa makati. meron din po sya 855 pero sabi nya ang recommended daw is 255w. I don't know why, even yung 1450 di daw nya ma recommend although meron syang stock. he's from my province kase and kilala sya ng family. di naman nyako siguro lolokohin at sasabihing mas maganda yung 255w over other models para lang maibenta nya to.

any recommendations or objections or suggestions po? is 255w okay? based on the reviews I read, it's better daw kase ambilis daw talaga mag lock ng location neto over other models.

depends on your budget po kasi... 255w is bang for the bucks unit...kung gusto mo naman ng may bluetooth feature, get the 265w... IMO, i don't see anything wrong with the 1450... we have Roadguide members using it.

Thanks for that info mam, buti nalang naihabol ko pa, friday ko makukuha unit, I got the 265w nalang for 8295 pesos. Also not 1450 pala, it was 1300 pala yung isa kong pinagpipilian, 10k pala yung 1450. so nirecommend nya is yung 255w and 265w. Can't wait to try it this weekend, punta kame Quezon and Rizal

I own a 255w. My main complaint is it takes a long time to get a satallite lock. Routing is not that good and some streets are named wrong. But I think that is bec of the map and not the 255w.

you have to have a clear view of the sky, for it to get a faster satellite lock... you also have to be stationary for a while... the more that it will take a while to lock if you are moving... i presumed that you are using the free 1.07 map... hence, the erroneous street names.

Just got a Nuvi 50 from my friend in the states. 120usd. It has a 5 inch screen but has less features compared to my old Nuvi 1350.
