portable gps system car

I'm planning on purchasing a gps in-car system. I would like a really good one, but I don't want to just throw ;my money away. Which system can I get the most bang for the buck?

TomTom One is a good one , they run about $250 now . Garmin , TomTom and Magellan are the the most well bought brands . I have the TomTom One and its very accurate and reliable. Get the base models in any particular brand , because added features you may never use drive up the price.

i was thinking, is it possible to hook up the GPS system directly to my tweeters? - the little speakers near my mirrors. - They are not connected to anything right now.

I was thinking if i could buy one of those mini speakers that plug into ipods or mp3 players
like this

and then cut the wires, and just connect the wires to the tweeters.

would this cause any electrical shortages or problems??? would it even work? (stock 99 civic tweeters)

the gps system would be hooked into the charging cable via cigarette lighter as well

let me know!

and thanks!

Get an FM modulator and run the headphone output to it and use an FM frequency to hear it through the system. You won't be able to listen to anything else while doing this though. Many of these just plug into the lighter.

i meant CAR SPEAKERS not car stereo. or whatever.

You'll need an aux input on your stereo to get the GPS to talk to you through the speakers. Most stereos (especially on older factory stereos) don't have an aux in, but you could do it with a tape adapter or a FM modulator. Problem with all of those things is, you will only get the GPS, no radio, tape or CD. There may be a way to crack open your head unit and hook up the GPS to play with the radio or CD, but it would be very hard, you'd practically have to be an electrical engineer to figure it out (I'm not... Sorry)

Price: $199.99

Lane assist with photoReal junction views.
Park position recall - find your car where you left it.
Over 8 million points of interest and see branded icons on the map as you navigate.
Lifetime map and traffic updates
Speed limit indicator - unit displays speed limits for most major roads.

I don't need to play mp3 files with it. Traffic conditions might be helpful. Reliability and ease of use, and one that speaks directions out loud, are important. I can spend up to $800 but don't want something that expensive if something cheaper will do what I need. I want to attach it to windshield, easily removable. I also need something I can readily buy at a store in Denver, since we leave on a 2,000 drive cross country Thursday morning.

i have seen some as low as 450 garmin street pilot it is a basic unit no bells and whisles just the navigation. try best buy circuit city or any electronic store

And why would you say it's the best?

Here is my opinion after reviewing several GPS devices. I think Garmin products are the best and I will list a few reasons why.

I think you need to first figure out what your needs are in a GPS device and the purpose of having one. Then what specific features are you looking for, such as bluetooth, real time traffic, weather, mp3 songs. Then what price range are you looking for?

After all of this I can tell you my experience.. I choose the Garmin Street Pilot C330. I paid 399.00 and here are my reasons:
1) Simple functions and easy to use.
2) Able to mount it on the window.
3) Price range 400-500
4) Reliability
5) I did not want Bluetooth, weather, real time traffic, or other extras.
6) Battery life strong

Some drawbacks to the device:
1) Locations not always accurate need to update maps
2) Viewing screen against the sunlight can be difficult to read
3) Bulky
4) It can take a few minutes to load the calculation to the destination. I wish it loaded much faster.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my GPS. I can truly say that it has helped out alot and reduced time. I think GPS prices have dropped significantly and now I would get the Garmin Nuvi 350 or 660 since it has everything I have but more... I would read customer reviews but stick with Garmin!

PS: I would also go to CNET reviews , which are good too!
