GPS units...What's good?

[importcrew]

I'm looking into getting a new GPS. I used to have the Garmin C330 (IIRC) but I ended up selling it since it's to much on the "bulky" side. I want something more profile (slim)...and that's basically 95% of the GPS units on the market.

So I'm looking at getting a new GPS. Help me out. Not entirely to picky..but...


I don't want anything entirely to small. A decent sized screen (doesn't have to be huge, but something you can see/look at with a glance)

Not looking to spend a grand. I'm shooting for about $250. Less is good, but willing to spend $50 or so more if it's something that's worth it.

Live Traffic updates would be nice, BUT not necessary. I've lived without them. Speaking street names would really be nice as well. But again...doesn't necessarily have to.

Magellan done.

Any specific model worth while? There's a couple Magellan I've seen on some ads and at Walmart and Best Buy that looked pretty good.

Doesn't tomtom lock you out when the vehicle is moving?

KJ had one that did that....not sure if it was a tomtom or not, but that's fuckin weak.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 760. It's got a nice wide screen, is easy as hell to use, has some really nice features, and I got it for under 2 hundo. Great deal for what it is for sure. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone, best money I've spent in quite some time.

I got a Garmin Nuvi 750, got it for 179 on walmart.com. Ive been very happy with it. If you wanna spend more money and have alot more features the 755 is awesome.

 

[importcrew]

Thanks for all the input people. Much appreciated. I'll definitely be checking some of these out.

Do not get a Nextar. My roommates broke after a month. He got it replaced and that one broke after another month.

That's a seriously badass GPS for really cheap.

I'd jump all over that...it actually has me considering getting it and selling my 760 (which I love)

it was the tom tom i had... i undid that feature... (it was cordons and had that option selected or something)

I have a Garmin Nuvi somethingsomething and love it. I didn't care for the wide screen so I opted for the regular size. Got it on eBay for $175 while stores were selling for $225+.

I have a Magellan 3100. Its not bad for the price. My biggest gripe is the route recalculation. It recalculates the entire route if you miss a turn. My buddys Garmin recalculated one turn and sent you on your merry way.
