Mommas Day Gift Idea & Giveaway – MotoNAV TN20 GPS

Category : Featured Reviews, gadgets & electronics, gifts & greeting cards

Help your Momma find her way for this Mothers Day.

Find the best way to get there with the new MOTONAV TN20. With a 3.5 inch touch screen this is one of the smaller GPS’ that are out on the market. For the newer user this is perfect. My husband loved the smallness of it and that he could fit it easily on the windshield of his Jeep and it would not be too bulky.  

Motorola describes the TN20 as:

MOTONAV™ TN20 helps you find the best route with GPS accuracy. The text-to-speech feature provides turn-by-turn directions, in an easy to understand voice, including spoken street names eliminate second-guessing when making a turn. Locate a favorite restaurant, nearest bank, or see what is along your route. Save time and fuel, and leave getting lost to the past.

I was lucky enough to compare the TN20 with our current GPS. Some of the features that stood out to me were the fact that you could hear the spoken street names with the standard turn by turn directions. I loved how it would give you two directions ahead of time. For example, while driving through the city it was alot of quick turning. The device would say to us “Turn left in 500, then turn right onto Shrewsbury street.” This is not something our current GPS does so it was a cool feature. Especially since it prepared us to be in the right lane in the city.

If you get hungry along the way while traveling don’t worry you can search for restaurants, gas stations, banks and more. We used this feature to find a local Subway restaurant for lunch. I didn’t feel like eating in the city so I was able to put in the next town over and search there for a good place to stop.  

We noticed while driving little landmarks along the way on the GPS map. My husband and I were stumped by them so I reached over and touched the landmark on the screen. It told me what the location was and even allowed me to save it in case we want to go there in the future. This is by far one of my favorite features of the Motorola TN20.

A few more features to note:

  • Preloaded maps of Continental US
  • Automatic day/night mode adjustment
  • 2D and 3D Map perspectives
  • Zoom and move maps with your finger
  • More than one million searchable points of interest
  • No activation or monthly service fees

The Motorola MOTONAV TN20 (Retail 179.99) includes the GPS device, windshield mount, dash mount, and in-car charger. This GPS is perfect for a first time user. This is a great present for any Mommas who have a tendency to get lost, like me!

MMM – Magellan 4350 GPS Giveaway

Category : Featured Reviews

There are many different GPS brands to choose from now. My heart, though, will stay with Magellan from here on out. Magellan makes a quality product that I feel beats all of the competition. I was lucky enough to try the Magellan Maestro 4350 GPS.

When I received this navigation device, I immediately plugged it in using the included wall charger and turned it on. After about five minutes of use I had it mastered! The Magellan line does take some getting used to, but only a few minutes and you are good to go (literally!).

The Magellan Maestro series has come out with a really cool One Touch feature.  This feature allows you to program up to nine Points of Interest (POI) into a drop down screen. This allows you to just touch, touch, and the location you are going to is all ready to go.

Some of the key features of this GPS are:

  • Magellan One Touch Feature
  • A large 4.3 inch color touch screen
  • The maps are not only for the US, they are also Canada and Puerto Rico
  • The GPS will notify you which lane you should be in
  • On the side of the navigation system you can plug the GPS into your car adapter and have it play sound through your car radio
  • Built in bluetooth – this is one of my favorite features as a mom – it allows you to answer and make calls through the device!
  • Location for memory card, such as the ones SanDisk makes, that put MP3’s right into the GPS. We were able to play music, get directions and have a great family trip!
