Item was refurbished, but was delivered in perfect condition. I basically wanted the larger screen with street names. If you are looking for this and no other frills, this is for you. It picks up the satellite very quickly, the screen is very easy to read and is very clear. It is easy to use right out of the box. One minor complaint about the speaker. It is loud but not always clear, specifically since it announces full street names. The nice thing is Garmin’s site provides different voices to download (free). I did download some new voices and it helps. Good price, good product, happy with the purchase.

The trend here is pretty clear. The card is great, until it fails. Ours failed less than a year after we got it (about 10 months, actually) taking a day’s worth of photos with it. Up until then, write speed was good, and I considered it a good card. Sounds like a fairly common defect – I will avoid this manufacturer’s cards in the future.

I purchased this large print book for my grandmother and the book was missing about 25 pages toward the end of the book. Amazon made it easy to return for a refund.

I gave this 5 stars because EVERYONE needs to know this thing is JUNK and you only see the 5-stars unless you look for the lesser 1-star comments. I LOVE my Garmin Rino530Hcx. My wife bought a Nuvi 1300 (from Target..Sorry Amazon) for our family vacation. All looked great reasonable price nice features. I donwlaoded the lateest software and maps and we were on our way. Worked great the whole way down. While there it froze on the starup screen. I looked around the WEB and found tons of same/similar complaints. We had plenty of sight seeing to do so we returned it to a Target there. The second worked fine so I updated again. Worked great the whole way home. A week after being home SAME PROBLEM. I’m returning it for REFUND. YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED! DONT NOT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garmin nüvi 1300 4

I have had my Garmin 305 for about 3 months now, and I can say it is the single best workout peripheral I have ever purchased. I NEVER used to run outside, and now that’s all I do. I love the fact that I can see the distance I’ve traveled, monitor my HR and even check my pace all just by glancing at my wrist. I also love tracking my workouts in Garmin Connect and seeing the super cool graphs and maps of my runs.

A few points to anyone thinking about purchasing:

1. The software that comes with the product is marginal, at best. You must go their Garmin Connect website [...] if you want the cool graphs/maps. The cool thing about Garmin Connect is that you can then share your workouts with others via email, Facebook, etc. You have to connect the 305 via USB (included) to download data, whereas some of the newer models connect wirelessly.

2. I bought the quick release kit as well. You need this if you plan to use the device on your bike as well. . Basically, you remove the rubber straps that the device comes with, but leave the little bars that connect the strap to the watch. Those bars then snap into the bike mount & wrist strap. IMO, the wrist strap that comes with the quick release kit is MUCH more comfortable anyway, especially on long runs where your wrist can get sweaty. As far as the kit, I love it and have used it in 3 triathlons so far this year. Very easy to swap from bike to wrist.

3. The accuracy of the GPS is amazing to me. I will literally run around a big pothole, and then see a little “bump” on the map line when I get home. Also, if I run on one side of my neighborhood road on the way down, and then the other on the way back, I get 2 distinct lines. Awesome!

4. I really wanted the 310xt, and ended up settling on the 305 based on the MUCH lower price. I made the right choice. Friends with the 310xt say the swimming function hardly works (I’ve seen the choppy graphs) and the rest of the features hardly seem worth the extra money.

5. Finally, I am

This is a GREAT cleaning machine and very reasonably priced. I used it both for carpet and upholstery cleaning and it did a terrific job.

I bought this product for my birthday on January 5, 2010. Since that date I’ve had to exchange the Kindle no less than four times! One wouldnt let me hear audiobooks, two had battery problems, one fell from my bed and shattered (my bed being like a foot tall, so not a big distance). I am not pleased.

I really, really like this thing. It’s easy to use and it basically tells you everything you need to know. I’m glad I got it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Resonans 3 4 Violin

I bought this for my daughter, its a great toy and a very beautiful object and it sounds nice but more experienced reveiwers are right that the strings are stiff and the bridge is high and the bow is too soft. I will have to take it somewhere to get it spruced up so that it is easier to use. but all in all I am glad I bought it.
