i got the same one. we used it to get to san fran, LA, vegas and home.
i really need to update the maps though. it doesnt know that the seattle premium outlets exist

lately i've have problems going to view map of route. scaling and moving around on the map can be annoying.

Garmin Mobile XT sucks at searching for attractions......most of the time anyway. Even when typing in address and searching mobileXT can take forever compared to a standalone GPS unit.

so i guess no one has a tomtom 930 or 730 to give out some opinion in regards to its pros and cons eh

Garmin Nuvi 250w. It's pretty useful when I need it but most of the time, it's just lying around.

I would avoid tomtom and buy GARMIN nuvi i forget the exact model but it says the street names and all and it has all the bells and whistles at a good price I paid 250 about

I've heard rumours that Rogers won't allow that/will charge up the ying-yang for that...any truth to that?

Why would they? The only charge I can think of is the data charge to download the maps and pull the directions back from Google.

As for me, I use a Garmin Nuvi 360. Paid $400 years ago, but has saved me on numerous occasions.

I don't know, I got warned against downloading Google maps on my work Bberry...may have been someone here overreacting...but apparently they were told Rogers won't cover it 'cuz it's too data intensive.

and yeah, my Garmin is used daily and I love it every day haha

hmm...I'd figure Rogers wouldn't say anything and then just charge the customer for data and any overages. :D The more data intensive, the better.

I can imagine it being pretty data intensive though - you look at it loading the maps and each time it refreshes, it's in 300k chunks. I'm sure that adds up VERY quickly.

iPhone with Google maps for me

w00t

I'd love a Garmin 530 but I have no place to put it ;)

haha yeah, exactly. That's why my work warned me about it...pretty sure Rogers kept nice and quiet about it ;)
