Hey,

I'm getting ready for a business trip and would like to not drive like a lost tourist. I'm looking at a few GPS devices and will be going to Best Buy after work. What are you guys/gals using?

I've been doing a bit of research and found a few possibilities. I don't want to spend a lot of cash, but I want something of good quality. Only features I want is speakable text, and touch screen.

here are a couple I've found.

Magellan - Maestro 3200

Here's a nice one for the price.

I have a Garmin 360 (in the S) for the bluetooth. I also have a Garmin
650 in my truck. Both work very well for the price.

 

I bought a Garmin Nuvi 650 from Costco for $300. The above link for a Garmin Nuvi 750 gives you more features for the same price - it's what I'd buy if I had my money back (and I might even return mine if I can).

Big screen, very bright, easy to use, and proven company. Magellan units look great but I have no idea how long they last or what kind of support they offer.

 

so, no one has really tried Magellan?

I hate to be a guinea pig, esp when I see countless rave reviews of Garmin's whole line.

hmm...

 

garmin FTW. I've had the 350, 250W, and the 650. They have ALL been great. The only reason I got the 650 was because it was 300 at costco, and I like the text to speech thing. you don't have to look at the screen as much.

 

I bought my sister a TomTom ONE XL

 

you can return damn near anything at costco....

I returned my 250w that I had for 3 months to costco and then bought the 650.

 

im waitin for the nuvifone. but ive used many garmins and they are amazingly easy to use
