Portable GPS (After using a Garmin Nuvi on 3 road trips -- you need one of these!!!) Our Current Top Pick  Personal Travel GPS -Garmin nüvi 770 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant  - (What we would get today if we we had to replace our current Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS -4/11/09 - If you do not need Europe Maps, get the 760 Nuvi Model.)  4 Star Average Amazon Customer Rating - over 100 User Reviews Note that if can you get your preferred Travel GPS direct from Amazon, often get free shipping. To GPS & Navigation Electronics listing at Amazon - All Types + current special discounts More Portable GPS Unit Choices below |
Portable GPS (cont) Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator This the GPS Unit we have used for over 2 years. We have been very pleased with it on three recent long road trips. 4.5 Star Average Amazon Customer Rating - over 500 User Reviews We think that a portable pocket model GPS is a "Must Have" feature so you can move the GPS unit from car to car -- or use in a rental car or even carry with you on a scenic nature hike so you can always find your way back. You also can pre "Favorite" many of your POI and Lodging destinations ahead of time before leave home while sitting on your couch watching TV. (Also can use a portable model on hikes and for fun GeoCaching -- or just finding your way back to your Motel after eating out in a unfamiliar town!) |
Portable DVD Players Watch for User Ratings of over 4.0 + Reviews that say screen is sharp and bright - An important Feature if viewing in back seat of car in daytime. Photo Image CDs and JPEG image viewing are also handy features Bigger 9" or more screen is worth paying a little more for + much better when more than one view.

Digital Cameras with Gene's "Reviews" (+ "Fast" Memory Cards)
Frankly I'm a big Canon Powershot fan, but there are some links to other brands below. My "old" Canon Powershot A70 took over 11,200 photos and was always just carried in my pocket Vs in a case before the "take Picture" button finally gave out.
Amazon User Reviews are highly recommended for product that has been out long enough to get over 10 User Reviews & ratings. (I don't like being a "pioneer user" on any new product -- like to read other User's reviews and ratings before buy.)

Our Top Digital Camera Picks! Well User Reviewed handy "pants pocked sized" Canon PowerShot SX230HS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with a built in 14x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and a wide angle lens + 1080 pixels wide HD Video with Stero sound. Has a F3.1 lens, so usually will need flash when shooting indoors. The Canon SX230HS also has a GPS Photo Location Tracker that puts the location where you took your photo in the photo image file so you can later view where your photos were taken on a map using Canon Software. ~~~~~~~~~ Canon Powershot SX120 IS -10MP Has 10x built in optically stabliized zoom + good video capability & Good Amazon User Reviews! + is smaller "Pants Pocket" or "Small Purse" sized! (But, if don't mind a larger camera, check out the SX30IS with 35x Zoom to the right!) The SX120IS has Image Stabilization & Face Detection Technology + ability to take 640 Pixels wide 30 fps videos. (Not HD) SX120IS has a less low-light optical image stabilized lens (f/2.8) than the f/2.0 aperture lens in the SD4000 IS Canon in the right column -- The SX120IS will take good no-flash pictures in many indoor light conditions, just not in as low light as can do with the SD4000 IS Canon to the far right for a slightly higher price This well reviewed camera is a good value for the features -- and will fit in your pants pocket or a small purse if "portability" is important to you. Like fact that this camera still uses easy to find AA batteries The newer SX230HS above also has a GPS Photo Location Tracker + a built in 14x Optical Zoom and 1080 pixels wide HD Video See the larger SX30IS to the right for much more zoom + HD Video -- just not as "portable" |
A very close second Pick larger Digital Camera! MANY great features -- IF you don't mind the larger physical size! (New Model Oct 2010 - replaces SX20IS which had 20x zoom)
35x Image Stabilized Optical zoom built in means this thicker and
larger sized Canon camera size so will have to carry it in a case -- but imagine the versitility of a 35x built in zoom + a F2.7 Lens in the same camera! Canon Powershot SX30 IS-14 MP Full featured Powershot Digital - 35x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Has a a f/2.7 Lens so will do fairly well on no-flash pictures in low light conditions (but not as good as a f/2.0 lens like the SD4000 below.) + It will take HD Videos and gets very good Digital Canon Camera Reviews by Users!
~~~~~~~ Fast and reliable reasonably priced Camera Memory cards that get good User Reviews -- Including Mine! "Fast" [100x] means that photos save faster to your camera so you can take more back-to-back snapshots & you usually use less batteries + photos copy much faster to your computer.

Vacation Photography Enthusiasts -- See our New page with 5 "Non-Technical" Digital Scenic Vacation & Landscape Photography Tips
- 5 Basic Tips we have learned on How to Take Good Photos on Vacations + Travel & Vacation Photography Tips. Cheap Domain Names + Basic Web Site Hosting:
Cheap Domain Names to use for Business Web Sites or for Site or individual Web Site Page Promotions -- Easy to Remember and type in "Forwarding" domain names.
eg: GoUSBeaches.com is used to forward to the home page of this
Memorable-Beach-Vacations.com Web Site
-- TopOnlineMerchants.com forwards to this Online-Merchant-Reviews page
-- GeneSeecann.com is used to forward to our High Res Photo Downloads.
GoDaddy -- Cheap domain names + free "parking" and free "forwarding"
Fast Domain Name Availability Lookup + Cheap Domain Name Pricing. GoDaddy is now the world's largest Domain Name Registrar and often has $9.95 or less Domain Names and sometimes even a $1.99 Domain for the first year with purchase of some other GoDaddy Product -- eg. Basic Web Site Hosting. They have a lot of "Add on's" they promote on their Site and when you purchase a domain, which helps keep their basic domain names and Web Site Hosting prices low.
I have many domains "parked" at GoDaddy that are set to forward to various pages on my Web Sites and that are used as easy to remember "Forwarding" domains to use in "type in" promotions, word of mouth advertising, watermarks on Photos, etc.
See Basic "No Frills" discounted (and even Cheap) Web Site Hosting Plans at this GoDaddy Hosting Plans Info page.
GoDaddy has also recently improved their "Website Tonight" product which includes Web Site Hosting for a pre-determined number of Web Site pages, 120 "pre-built" fill in Site Templates to choose from, online easy to use Web Site Building Software, and even a online image gallery with over 8,000 free images. Their "Website Tonight" product has Web Sites sized from an "Economy" sized Web Site of up to 5 pages for $5.69 per month if paid annually, up to a large 999 page Web Site for about $14 per month if paid annually.
