What's a Good portable GPS?
 

Sorry if this is in the incorrect place.

I'm looking for a portable GPS that is reliable of course. Thinking of driving to LA and Vegas and would for sure need help.

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

i have the garmin 250w and love it.

I have the pioner avic z2 in my personal car.

garmin nuvi 250

it might not have all the features but it does the job well

i just got the garmin 250W...if u have the extra cash get the widescreen
its awesome! has all the features u need

if u want mp3 or some other bullshit then get the 650
for basic needs get the 250W....

Garmin 330c was cheap during Xmas for its refurbished ones

it was and is plenty good.

I have the Garmen 350, its very good.

TomTom One 3rd edition.....got it for $146 incl. ship/tax from staples.ca

wow, that's a steal

I'd say garmin, I dunno, I always have the feeling that tom tom breaks down easily

i got my garmin 330 for like 350 bucks a year ago. they're probably cheaper now but it worked great for me

I'm looking for one too and I see that tomtomone XL is on sale for 199 at futureshop

noob question

can u update maps on all models? and do u have to pay for service?

tom tom doesnt have the street names as far as i know

the garmin 250 tells u to turn " in _ miles"....it wont say the street name, but it shows up the screen....i went for the garmin for his reason
plus i heard that tom tom breaks down easier (not sure if there is any truth to this)

250W u can get for 230 @ amazon.com..if u get it thru accessories.com on amazon there is no tax added for some reason
not sure if u can get it shipped to canada though

I use my blackberry 8800 and am very happy with the functionality!

Tomtoms have an inferior mapping system. The Garmins are much better. I have a 250, and it's great. I didn't want all the bells & whistles like Bluetooth and shit, so it's perfect for me. Nice and compact.

but TomToms have te awesome Darth Vadar voice pack ...

:lol

thats the same as the tomtom

the tom tom one 3rd has street names , and tells u to turn left in 600 meters.... to the tom tom users ,,, does ur guy's tom tom sucktion ( sp? ) cup work .. mine keeps falling from my windshield n its annoying n dangerous! ideas to fix it ???

yup works fine. Did you peel the clear sticker off it first?

garmin nuvi 250 doesnt have text to voice recognition. so it'll just say:
"in 200 meters, turn left"

get the nuvi 350, it has voice recognition, so it'll say
"in 200 meters, turn left on main street"
that way you dont have to take ur eyes off the road to see which street to turn on.

also order it from www.adorama.com i got mine for $270 shipped rush 2 day delivery.
thats same price as a Nuvi 200 on sale at future shop.

I have Magellan 4040...Nice little unit.

don't u get ding with customs getting from adorama.com?

i have the nuvi 350 love it

garmin 2710 does everything except name the street

futureshop has the garmin nuvi 250w on sale right now.
$229.99 seems like a good deal i suppose. I will probably pick one up.

picked up the tomtom one xl-s from futureshop yesterday for $269.99

good widescreen gps with text to speech
