Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car
I have done a lot of checking out myself. I have decided that I will get the Garmin Nuvi 350. Lots of features, good price and good reviews.

Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car
The Nuvi 350 is very nice. . . We have one, our neighbor has one, our friend, and each firetruck and ambo in our city has one. Never had a problem and always gets good reception. The maps are pretty current also. I believe version 8 is the most current at this time. I would watch if you get it off of EBAY that it is Version 8 because there is still a lot of Version 7s floating around

Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car
I used the Microsoft Street & Trips with the USB GPS for a couple of years before I purchased a portable GPS unit.
The Microsoft had great features; better than my present portable GPS BUT I had to carry a laptop around (a pain in the neck) so last year I got the Tom-Tom One which is very easy to use, portable and lots of features. I do missed the tracking feature on Street & Trips, the BIG map and the free traffic updates off the internet. Back to the Tom-Tom, I have used it from Canada down to Florida and had no problems. The touch screen is good, the size is good for most pockets. I even used it for walking around a cities and for founding food & gas stations. I rely on the voice feature more and more to guide me to my destination. The "Alternate route selection" feature has help get me out of traffic jams on unfamiliar roads. Tom-Tom's night mode is not too good. The default colors are hard to read. The battery life should be better. Over all Tom-Tom One was a great investment. Good Luck! |
