I got a tom tom but I can't use the traffic part since my phone isn't supported??? whatever. But I'm trying to find a good one thats 4" or larger with good poi's, affordable traffic service, and easy to read screen. any help?? thanks :o)


How about Garmin StreetPilot c550? It is very easy to use right out of the Box. You can spend a fortune on these things and get all these options that you will never use. The screens are easy to navigate and the voice is not so loud to become annoyingwhen giving dircection. And it is on sale now, a decent deal for it is only $350 instead of $500.

I am in the process of buying a gps system for my car and I need help.?

I would like to buy a GPS navigation system for my car and I am down to two. Tom Tom Go 910 and Garmin Nuvi 350 can someone please let me know what you think about each of these items which one is better I need help there are so many out there.


If you're in the U.S., the Garmin Nuvi is the best. It uses the better Navteq map data. If you're in the U.K. or Europe, TomTom is better with the TeleAtlas maps.

The Garmin Nuvi 350 is one of the top selling GPS units in the world. Also take a look at it's higher-priced cousins the 660 and 680. See http://gps.buyerreports.org for owner reviews and specs. Garmin also has a great web site with more information.

Does anyone own a Tom Tom GO 510. How do you like it, and is it worth the $600.


The TOM TOM is well worth it and very user friendly

  • Garmin 255: Driving using a Gps navigation System – The Way of the ...

    Being a technology nerd, a lot of you are completely informed of GPS devices as well as their particular positive aspects. It had been merely not too far back that a car would drive by having a GPS mount on their dash only to be seen and admired by individuals. At this time, a Gps navigation in a car, is very normal. This is also true, granted the large cost savings we have noticed in this technology in the last 3 years or so. The only real problem for you to deal with will be identifying which model is effective for you, based on your budget and also exactly what features are most important to you personally.

    With seemingly brand new GPS brands popping up everyday, it might be a tough task to make the best selection when choosing a model for yourself or even as a present. The price range for many consumer models belong to the $69 to $399 range, with a lot more costly models out there. Among my favorite features would be the lane-change advisor, which tells you which lane to be in on a the road when getting near the turn off as well as exit. This really is useful while traveling on unfamiliar multi-lane freeways, when you’ve got no idea which lane to get in to be able to exit onto another freeway, and so forth. Extra characteristics consist of, bluetooth ability, mp3 as well as live traffic reporting. Everything simply just depends on what is important to you. The greater you shell out, the more complex the device gets, however usability has also turn out to be drastically increased.
