GPS Reviews

I got the Garmin Nuvi several months ago after doing some research and absolutely love it. I take that bad boy everywhere.

 

My $0.02:

1) Buy it if you have a business use.

2) Or don't spend a lot of money.

I bought a Garmin Street Pilot several years ago. I have no use for it. After the novelty wore off, it was a waste of money. It was bulky and I got tired of moving it from the dash to center console....if you leave it on the dash your car will get broken into. Since it's a first or second generation I have to download updates...I think I lost the connection piece and frankly I don't care cause I haven't updated the maps in years.

 

I posted something in response to someones thread a few months ago on this too, but it's still true. The discussion starts and ends with the Garmin Nuvi 350

for me, it really helps on deliveries at my job. recalculates almost at the second you take a wrong turn... voice prompts by street name and not just "turn right in 300 feet"

even before i started this job though, i'd had the same unit for 3 months prior and i can't say enough about it. some of the new areas around the katy/cypress texas area aren't quite filled in on the locations, but you can always enter your address where you need to go in those cities.

 

I second the Nuvi, I've used that Garmin a handful of times and it was great..
