Re: Best GPS unit??????
I just saw the Black Friday ad for Best Buy and they have the TomTom One LE
on sale (Black Friday) for $119. Hell for that price it's basically disposable.
I prefer Garmin products but for this price, I may just pick one of these up for backup..

Re: Best GPS unit??????
I saw a commercial earlier for a new brand of GPS which shows you the road from a realistic point f view; such as exit signs, etc. I can't remember the brand b/c I never heard it before.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Re: Best GPS unit??????
Yes and except for the lower end of the price scale, all units do that.

Sure they do. Gamin calls it 3D. Magellan calls it Bird's-eye 3D view or True view 3D. |

I think the Navigon 7100 is what you saw in the commercial. It shows street signs, overpasses etc.

Re: Best GPS unit??????
I ended up with the Garmin 680 and it's pretty impressive. I went in and downloaded teh topographical maps from the webiste for the additional fee and they seem well worth it. Thank you again for everyones input. Very much appreciated. |
