Any ole way...

I've been out bid on ...so far:

The Navigon 2100 2100T

GARMIN STREETPILOT C330

Magellan RoadMate 2200 2200T

I really haven't a clue to what I want. First time out -- I don't want to spend too much--it'll be obsolete next year any way, right? I read reviews and blogs and fogs and chase my tail in a circle like a fat ol dog.....

(Popcorn has nothing to do with this but...it sure looks good.

)

Any geeks hanging out with input?

I like seeing elevation cause for some geeky reason I think elevation is cool.
My husband requires (being somewhat technology challenged) ease of use, and a decent sized screen. Text to voice is a must.

Mp3 addition is a bullshit bell and whistle. My car radio works.
My cell phone has a speaker phone and hands free.

That live traffic deal sounds pretty nifty though.

I'll hang out patiently .... especially now that I'm set for life:

I have a Magellan 760. Great unit but I am having support problems with Magellan. They don't seem to have their act together when it comes to downloads to update your maps. Haven't been able to get one in over a year. If you're looking for elevation levels Magellan's got them. You also get your choice of a male or female voice, it's got auto dimming and a bunch of other bells and whistles. We've had it for about two years and it's performed wonderfully. Maps include all of North America. Hope that helps.
