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.

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

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

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

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.
