the only reason i would buy it is for wind noise. The iphone earplugs are great but the mic picks up alotta wind noise. The Jawbone was a potential solution.

Thanks!

I agree the lower left is the best place for windshield mounting and that is where I mount mine (Garmin C330) however I took the plunge on a new Nuvi 650 from Costco for $299 and just ordered the dash mount (to the left of the temp control) from Modifry.com and the panavise mount which is to the left of the radio door. I am not sure which one I will use yet but the prices are very reasonable and I ordered the "Nuvi ball" mount he offers which make it easy to get on and off the bracket.

I wanted to make the mounting look cleaner and hopefully I wont need an external antenna if I use the dash mount even with the top up.

Check it out at www.modifry.com

 

I am leaning towards the 650 too after I got the input from people on the thread and looked at some review. I don't see were the 200 or the 250 have the text to voice feature.

 

Thats why I went with the 650 as well. I figure for $50.00 the feature is worth it.

Now I can sell my C330!

 

I have the Garmin Nuvi 250w. Its the shiz-nit. I live in DC now and wouldn't leave home without it.

 

I will agree that that is a good price on the 650 but does it have the NT 2008 map sets Some of the older 650s shipped with the older map sets which costs $80 to upgrade.

I really havent missed the text to speech. as I can glnce at the screen and see the name of the street I am looking for.

I am still in awe of the information that is in a device that size.

 

I have a Garmin Nuvi 660, no complaints.
