Welcome to the Wilkes-Barre Digital Commons!

Welcome to the Wilkes-Barre Digital Commons!

I had been holding out on purchasing a GPS for probably longer than I should have. I am new to Pennsylvania and travel to the other campuses frequently, so having good directions is pretty important to me. So far I have made it by on using google map print outs combined with my iphone to get around the state. Unfortunately I have gotten turned around a number of times since many of the Penn State campuses are not as easy to find as you would think. Finally this past weekend I decided to take the plunge and I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 660.

The Garmin Nuvi 660 was one of the top of the line units when it came out around a year and a half ago, but has come down in price quite a bit recently while still maintaining a very robust feature set. One of the main features which was important to me was Bluetooth integration with my phone. Since I do drive so much I am often forced to take cell phone calls while on the road. The 660 handles this feature really well. After an initial set up, any time I get in the car the phone and GPS unit sync up automatically. So I don’t have to remember to configure anything before I start my trip. The speaker phone on the unit is loud and the receiver seems to work well from a distance of around 3 feet.
