So one of the coolest new gizmos out is the Garmin Nuvi 880. It’s kind of a big deal, and there’s been some debate out in the forums and chatrooms as to whether or not it is, more or less, the best portable GPS out there.

We can’t put the final nail in that debate’s coffin, people will keep arguing about it until the thing becomes outdated several years from now. Any popular device is going to spark this kind of debate, and it’s certainly healthy, as it stirs up public interest.

But, we can give you the vital statistics of the product, and let you decide.

Now, usually we’d start off with the screen google search size or Bluetooth connectivity or something, but the first thing worth noting about the Garmin Nuvi 880 is the price. New, you might find it in the area of eight hundred bucks, but you might actually be able to snag one for five hundred. Just a few years ago, there was no way you could find such a tough little GPS for anything less than a couple grand.


So anyways, on with the technical statistics:

Display - 4.3 inch screen with a 480 x 272 resolution. The image is absolutely beautiful and crystal clear, so you’re not going to be squinting at the screen to try and figure out where you’re supposed to be going.

Dimensions - 3.10 inches tall by 4.90 inches wide by .7 0 inch thick. It’s about the size of a dollar bill, and about the thickness of an empty wallet, so there’s no worry about having a big fat brick sticking out of your pocket. In other words, it should be easy enough to take with you everywhere, from road trips to hiking excursions.

It comes loaded with City Navigator NT maps for North America, which include over six million points of interest, searchable by name. This means you can just ask the thing for directions to say, the LA Museum of Arts, and not have to go look up the address first.

Speech recognition and voice feedback means drivers won’t need a navigator referencing the device in the passenger seat. You can even ask it direct questions like “Where am I?”, and it will tell you, including street names.

Something else that’s pretty cool, the Nuvi 880 comes with an MP3 player and a photo viewer, so it’s basically the only gizmo you need to keep in your car.

It works as a hands free cell phone, it constantly updates traffic reports with MSN Direct content, it gives you realtime gas prices, movie times, audio books, it can plug into your car’s stereo system…

Is it the best portable GPS on the market? Well put it this way, if you pick up a Garmin Nuvi 880, you might never buy another portable GPS again as long as you live. To be fair, you could say that about a small handful of portable GPS units, but the fact remains that the Nuvi 880 is, at least, somewhere around the top of the food chain when it comes to portable GPS.
