|

Hi guys and gals. I am currently looking to buy a hand held GPS. and am looking to spend anywhere between $200-$350. Can you guys share with me your experiences with the navigation systems that you guys have, and what do you like/dislike with it? There's just a lot of brands out there, and figured I should ask to see which one you guys prefer and why. Because of the new hands-free law, Bluetooth would be a nice option as well as text-to speech, but not mandatory. Thanks in advance for your input! _________________ "Love me or hate me; it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved for the exact same reasons." |

Blackbird by Alpine.
Got it from Sonic Electronix. They're here in So Cal (Valencia) so you can pick up but I've also had a few things shipped from them too. _________________ "Here come the Lakers!" - R.I.P. Chick Hearn |

VZ Navigator from Verizon. Can use it anywhere even while walking and you always have it with you wherever you go. |

Garmin Nuvi. (Although I did get the 680.) Best UI of the bunch.
Takes a while to get satellite triangulation, but other than that, works great. |

might be more convenient to get a phone with gps capability unless you like carrying lots of stuff in your pockets. if you just want for your car, garmin nuvi is pretty nice. |

Have a Magellan Maestro 4040, I'm quite happy with. It has the bluetooth also, which I don't use. _________________ 7-24-08 |
