portable gps system

I need to get a portable GPS system.
It cannot be an in-dash one because I have a 2000 Toyota Camry.
Also it must be one of the talking ones that tells you where to go. I will be traveling from Indiana to St. Louis so I need one that has an accurate map.

So, I'm looking for the best GPS I can get for a good price. Can anybody tell me what type to buy? If you can provide me with a link it would be even better!

It is not an easy question to answer but you can't go wrong with the top 3 GPS manufacturers PND models they have to offer.
With that said, Garmin currently is the most popular GPS model in NA, selling about 55% of all PND GPS sold in NA.
If price is no an issue, try the Garmin Nuvi 880 which is currently Garmin top of the line PND model. If you wish to save a few bucks, try the Garmin Nuvi 760 which is an excellent choice. Don't buy EOL stuff since you will want to have a model that is supported for a while.
If you feel Garmin is not for you, consider the TomTom 930 or the Magellan Maestro 4250 or 4050.
You can also consider buying the NOH Garmin Nuvi 760 for only $329 from Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc that includes the Garmin factory ONE year factory warranty, the unit comes with pretty much everything you will need on a GPS device or if you are worry about cost but wish to have a portable GPS that includes TTS, try the Magellan RoadMate 2200T NOH for only $119.00 again from Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc.
It maybe easier for you to rent these GPS first from GPS4Rent to test drive each unit to make sure the unit will function to your expectation before committing to one.
You can find all the models I have described here on Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc website at http://www.autonav2000.com/default.asp or you can visit GPS4Rent and rent one. To find out more about the rental program click on this link http://www.gps4rent.com/

You can't really go wrong with any of the TOP THREE GPS manufacturers Garmin, TomTom and Magellan.

Good Luck

What is the best portable GPS system you would recomend for commercial truck driving inter states. Any advice from truck drivers?

Im not sure of the exact name, but if you go to a best buy, or bestbuy.com you can get a PDA, that comes with a GPS navigation system in it. For me this seems to work the best, because it serves as a dual purpose. The cost is around 200 for the PDA, and 200 for the GPS software, and antenna. This is excelent it gives you all the same info as the tom tom and garmin, and you can also use it as a personal computer. The reason Im not sure of the name, because you can buy different models, and brands of the PDA. I have one.

There are various brand of portable GPS system on the market ie. Garmin, TomTom, Magellen, Navigon etc. Does anyone know what GPS system besides Garmin will automatically turn on the unit by the time you start your engine and also automatically turn of when you shut down the car engine.
By doing so, user will not manually turn on and turn off the GPS.

Please advice. Thanks.

My TomTom turns off automatically after 10 seconds of the engine turning off (the power outlet losing power). If the outlet still has power even with the engine off, the unit won't turn off. It does not turn itself on automatically though.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index; _ylt=ArkRN001LSJ7LD..uDTHEY3sy6IX;_ylv=3 ?qid=20070908162406AA9IBxw

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!

OH and if u can email me back caffiendx27@yahoo.com thats where i get my emails!!!!

THANKS
i dont c aux interface?

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.
