I just got my Garmin Nuvi 350 the other day. It's a perfect nav unit for the S2000. Attaches to the windshield and runs 4-8 hrs on its rechargeable battery if you don't wish to plug into the power source which is such a pain in our cars. It has all the cities/streets of USA and Canada already installed. And actual street names and destinations are annunciated when directions are given. An optional SD card will give you Europe as well. Plays MP3, plays audio books, shows pictures, translates languages, converts currency, etc. And fits in your shirt pocket. Lot's of features in a small package.

I had a Garmin StreetPilot 2610 for several years but could never use it in the S2K- the bean bag mount wouldn't work ex cept in a straight line.

Check it out at Garmin.com- the new 360 version has blue tooth connectivity for cell phones.

Circuit City lists it at $799 but I bought mine for $600 on the internet.

Aw... come on Gene... you're a guy... have you ever asked for directions?

Sorry, I couldn't resist, one of us gals had to take that opening....

How big is the screen? Fairly easy to see with the top down in the sun?

Candice? The screen is 3" X 2.25"- all actions are via the touch screen. The display is very bright and adjustable. Very easy to see in daylight unless the sun is shining directly on the screen producing glare, similar to our instrument displays. But to get longer life from the battery, you can set the backlighted display to come on for 15", 30", or 1 '- that way it only comes on when a turn is coming up (of course you get audio directions, too.)

Very sensitive unit- I'm getting sattelite reception sitting here in my den, so I imagine you could sit it on the console with the top up if you wanted to.

Man, I checked out the bluetooth model and *drool*... just too much $$$ for what I would consider a "toy" since I wouldn't use it much.

 

I borrow my mom's Magellan 360 all the time... for half the price, it is just as awesome as any other GPS unit... it may not have the bluetooth, but not everyone has a real use for it..

 

Is there ANYTHING that doesn't play MP3s now?! LOL

 

BTW, does it show current MPH?
