Ok guys my sister is looking for a good gps navigation system to put in her daughters car, for when she moves down to San Diego. Any information would be a great help thanks guys.
Hey, look on craigslist, lots of bought, used once gps. Also, be sure to tell then to take it with them, it is the hottest theft item going. They usually bust the driver's window so you have to replace a window and GPS. Just happened to my wife.
Maps and all that are good (and I have a trucker's atlas) but we travel and camp a lot and it's real nice to ask the GPS to tell me where the nearest Wally World or Flying J is and then go straight there.
Tom Tom go720 was $300 when I bought it, it has the military instalation roads on it you just have to unlock them. Garmin doesnt. Garmin is awesome, but its alot of $ for what you can get comparable in a Tom Tom. The new mapshare program in tom tom makes them easier to update, nothing like before.
go with a Garmin i have a C340 it works great. the only problem if you move it around alot it wont stick anymore to the window. i recommend she get one of the smaller square ones i have the big bulky heavy ones that barely stick to your window.
+1 for Garmin........I have a Nuvi 200 or 250 (I can't remember). It's small, has good battery life, easy to use, and you can take it with you easily. I keep mine in my backpack that I take traveling on business.
i have a garmin GPSmap60CSX it's a handheld so you can take it anywhere including the boat. it also has a removable memory card so you can save many hunting fishing spots. it's not as convienient as an indash while driving but it's worth the trade off in my opinion. it will do turn by turn navigation also
dude go garmin they are great. sure beats the bum at the gas station
