GPS info needed
25 05 2006After being in a car this past weekend with a TomTom 300 and none of us knowing where to go, I determined the TomTom might not be the best solution out there.
Anyone have any experience with GPS units?
I am currently thinking about the:
TomTom 300
TomTom 500
or leaning toward the Garmin c340.
The Garmin tells you which street name to turn on, not just “turn ahead” like the TomTom does. This would seem to make things easier in a city you were unfamiliar with.
Anyone used any of these models or at least know where to find a decent review? Thanks for the info.

Check out the Magellan 860T.

I’ve been using that for a while, and it’s awesome
I’d buy the c340. Here’s a bunch of reviews…
I didn’t think the 860T was for sale yet.
Hmm, that didn’t work very well. The link is to my review page.
We sell quite some nav-units for Europe in our case. And my choice would be for a Garmin unit, the Nuvi is my nav-unit of choice, small and really good. Garmin has the most experience in navigation and the service is top notch for Europe, compared to TomTom…
DO NOT BUY A TOM TOM unless you are DUMB DUMB. Go with a garmin and learn how to use it instead. You know RTFM and all.
[...] Someone anonymously sent me a $600 gift card CompUSA. First of all thank you whoever you are. The funny part is that I can’t figure out what to do with it. I figured I should get a GPS like I posted about last week. So, I did. I bought the TomTom 510. As of today, it no longer will boot up. I have it plugged in and yet it simply won’t turn on. That is going back. [...]
