If you're picking up the Garmin nuvi 40LM TSV for 6/6, you're probably planning to hit the road for some summer adventures. This convenient navigator will certainly get you where you need to go, and I've got some more tech suggestions to help you get maximum enjoyment out of every minute!
Take fun to the max with the Apple 32GB iPod touch with accessories (E168170). It lets you listen to music, watch movies, surf the Web, play games, and more, all on the go. With its massive 32GB internal memory, this handheld companion holds an amazing amount of media--up to 8,000 songs, 40,000 photos, or 40 hours of video. And it has built-in Wi-Fi so you can easily browse the Web, send email, update your online profile, download games, and chat via instant messenger. And if you want to take something smaller than your laptop—and nearly as functional—see our selection of Apple iPads.
Need to power up? Fashion meets function with Ful Powerbag Sling Backpack with Internal Charging System (E167726). It looks like an ordinary backpack, but inside are adapters to charge most USB devices, so you never have to lose power to your phone or MP3 player when you're on the go.
Be the director with the JVC GZ-MS150SUS Everio camcorder (E222115). Its advanced image stabilizer works to deliver focused, shake-free results while face detection technology automatically focuses in on your subjects. And, the 40X optical zoom allows you to be a part of the action, without needing to be right next to it. Ensure all of your special memories are all saved for posterity with the included 4GB SD card, which offers additional storage space.
Need something smaller and more durable for more adventurous excursions? The GE 1080p Water & Shockproof Camcorder (E166802) is a high-definition digital video camcorder that's ready for anything you can throw at it—literally! The waterproof and shockproof design provides worry-free transport, while the flip-out USB arm enables you to upload and charge without the hassle of cables. Record special moments in Full HD 1080p resolution, and then push a button to take high-quality 5.1 megapixel still photos--it's that simple!
And, of course, you can't forget a camera. The Canon PowerShot SX150IS (E222424) puts the power of a 12X optical zoom in your pocket so you can make memories near and far! Equipped with a 14.1 megapixel resolution and DIGIC 4 Image Processor, this user-friendly camera gives you crystal-clear shots from nearly any distance and in nearly every setting. And, the 28mm wide-angle capability makes it great for photographing large groups and scenic landscapes. Optical image stabilization ensures every shot is blur-free, and improved Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings so anybody can take great shots.
Or you can try the Canon EOS Rebel T3 (E222426). Its 12.2 megapixel resolution blows point-and-shoots and cell phone cameras out of the water, especially when paired with the incredible control it puts at your fingertips. From extreme bright and dark shots that still retain detail thanks to 10 exposure control settings, to high-speed action caught with 3.0fps continuous shooting, the EOS Rebel T3 is always ready to capture that perfect picture. It even captures 720p HD video when a still just isn't enough. With the included accessories, you can get started right out of the box! The handy camera bag makes location shooting a breeze, and no image is out of your reach with an interchangeable EF-S 55mm-250mm zoom lens.
Those are my recommendations. What would you suggest to tech-loving travelers?
