Garmin Nuvi's rule, by far the best aftermarket GPS.
Aftermarket, really?
As opposed to spending $2000 for the factory system you get when you buy a car.
Eh, I guess.
This is a great unit; my mother-in-law purchased it and we used it quite a bit when they were here a few weeks ago. Easy to read display, good instructions to destination and it recalculates as necessary when diverting from the path it lays out for you.
Bad unit for a mother-in-law; can't get her lost. You should have told her to get the Tom-Tom, dimmed the screen, tilted it slightly upward, turned up the radio and sent her out for bread.
This thing pwns.
I have no problems with her; she gives me no grief. Now my brother-in-law, on the other hand.....
I prefer my wife's Mio to this thing. I used my friend's Nuvi 350 after using the Mio for a few months and I couldn't see the reason to spend $150-$200 more for the Nuvi. I actually liked the menu layout, navigation through the menus, and the screen better on the Mio. As far as getting me from point A to B, they were equally as bad... or good, depending on where you are going. The only thing the Nuvi had as an advantage was the TTS feature. But I still found myself looking at the screen because the Nuvi didn't always say the street names correctly.
Never had a problem with my Nuvi 350 saying the street names incorrectly, maybe it is because I have the latest NT v2008 maps loaded. I had a Mio 310 and I did not like it as much as my Nuvi.
how about the Mio c520? anyone cares to comment?
#11, check out reviews on Amazon and C-Net. The Mio c520 gets pretty good reviews. That will most likely be my next GPS.
I tried the NUVI350 and took it back because it wasn't worth the $475 it was at the time. Got me lost a few times, no substitute for a good map, but a nice addition to one. Seemed to make stuff up when it didn't know what to do or was lost. I usually use state atlas/gazetters that have excellent detail but are spendy at $20 per state and bulky. When a unit as good as the NUVI350 is < $200 I will consider one again. I also want the topographical maps and NUVI's don't have those. I like the basic concept of the Magellan Crossover, auto/topographical/waterproof, good for car, hiking, and the motorcycle.

but the user reviews are mixed. The TTS and POI's in the NUVI were decent. This will all come in a year or two, I can wait. I don't need to be on the bleeding edge.
