I've decided to take the plunge and buy hubby and me a GPS for Xmas.

Yes, they'll know where we are all the the time. *whispers* "don't they already?"


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 got my hubby the Garmin Street Pilot and he swears by it - he has absolutely no sense of direction at all! It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles, cost about $220 on ebay, and it was the best investment I ever made! We don't have much traffic in our neck of the woods, but I guess it would be neat.

Anyway, that's the one I'd recommend. Real user friendly (has to be for my spouse!).

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.
