GPS Navigation help! Recommendations?[views:3785][posts:8]___________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 12:10pm - BrianDBB ""] I'm looking to spend between $150 and $200. I've been looking on Amazon and Tiger Direct and there are just TOO many choices. Any recommendations? |

(or bluetooth through a phone). garmen have the best interface EXCEPT when scrolling a map. |

I also have a 7" screen on my garmin. The magellan was good for boating, sports, the mio is crap as shit, but so hackable. you can put on tomtom's software on it too. |

I've got the TomTom One and have only had 1 problem with it the entire time I've had it, and it only lasted 5 minutes. I'm not sure of all the differences the next step up has, but I know it says street names rather than just saying "take next right" or whatever. The mounting/suction device it has is better than the One as well. |
