I'm in urgent need of a navigation device (portable). are you current users of TomTom, Garmin, or Magellan? What are your takes on those?

Thanks!

 

Check out the Navman Pin 570. I just got one and it's great!! Also works as a pocket PC. Cost less than most GPS systems and more portable. Can be had for less than $500. Comes with the whole North America maps. Most only come with the US maps excluding Canada.

 

Rich, I've got the Garmin 2720 and like it very well. It sometimes wants a street instead of a county road and doesn't always take the local routes I use. It does help me find places and on a couple of recent trips it was very helpful. It also has traffic interface capabilities which would be great in a large city.

 

i use the garmin streetpilot c330, got it for a great price a few months ago.. the updated c340 has traffic capabilities if thats what interests you

I love the simplicity of it, it hasn't found a location only once.. wasn't in the database or something

 

TomTom, it has the ability to recieve traffic alerts similar to the Acura RL. It has gotten the best reviews.

 

I wont ever buy a TomTOm cause the commercials annoy the heck out of me.

 

I"m interested in purchasing a portable navi/gps system myself. Anyone out there with advice?

 

Rented a car in FL last week and the c330 was the Nav offered by the rental company. Although my only experience with a portable, I would highly recommend. Very easy user interface. Touchscreen was trouble-free. Didn't need to take out the manual to put in the destination or start the trip.
