A solid, no frills workhorse. Getting outdated, though.
I've been using my eMap in my car since 1999. Whenever my car is on, the eMap is on. I'm sure it has easily logged more than 4,000 hours of use over the years. Even without a single firmware upgrade, it continues to perform well.
The eMap is an old model and does not have the fancy features of the latest GPS units, but it has a decent base map and with a little common sense and practice it can be a useful navigation tool.
I'm finally upgrading to the 7200, which I'm sur .... Read more

Fantastic System with tons of available accessories
I've owned this unit for a couple of months now. I didn't want to write a review without having used it. It works GREAT. There are some issues, but they are readilly worked around.
First issue is price. For the base unit, the price is quite reasonable. However, as another reviewer mentioned, in order to really make it work right, you really do need some accessories. Garmin accessories surely seem over priced. In order to use this on the road, I purchased a Dash-Mount, and a power cable/ .... Read more

The GPS money pit
I've been using this unit for a few weeks now and it never fails to amaze me with it's capabilities even if the learning curve for it is a bit steep (an instructional video is available for an additional charge). I'm sure there are features I'll never use due to its complexity.
The problem I have is that it comes with nothing. If you want to actually be able to use the unit, you've got to go back to Garmin and buy additional accessories and guess what, ... their all proprietary so they c .... Read more

Off the beaten track--with confidence!
Late this summer, I was driving a rented minivan from Mendocino, CA, south to the Bay area. It's about 180 miles. I was with three other adults and three children. Instead of taking the recommended RT 128 southeast to RT 101 and south to the Bay area, we decided to take a "shorter" route, due east on Lake Road to RT 20 to RT 101, then south. Well, the road we chose went through deep redwood forests. More often then not, we could not see the sky. There were times when the road was no longer paved .... Read more

Absolutely Fantastic!
I love the Garmin eMap. It does everything I ever wanted in a GPS. You can even get software downloads from Garmin's web site. There are many accessories available, and you will probably want them all! The complete outfit is kind of pricey. If you want to upload maps you will need a separate data card, you cannot load maps into the stock unit. Also, it eats a TON of batteries! .... Read more
