:biggrin: I have a Garmin 2730 GPS which I use in my Yaris. It also has XM radio built in, so I have great radio and can never get lost. The good thing about portable gps is you can use it in any car you dirve. When I go to places I've never been before all I need is the address. I can even use it in Canada with no problems. No more AAA maps. The price has come down to 200 dollars for some models. If you don't have one get one. :thumbup:

Got a garmin Nuvi 310 here (sold as the 360 in the US)
Small sized, portable, and with extra functions such as MP3 and Audible player (pretty much useless), but also Bluetooth speakerphone function, which comes in handy!

Grew up with Thomas Bros. maps - also a must-have when I was a collector then, a salesman, in So CA in the days long before GPS.
However, have do a Garmin Fortrex 101 for hiking and biking (has both wrist and handlebar mounts). and it plugs into our laptop equipped with MS Streets & Trips to show us exactly where we are if we do get lost.

Garmin IQue M5. Great for in car navigation as well as a PDA. Too bad Garmin discontinued the whole line. Bad Garmin....

I agree that these are a great thing to have and the prices have come down to where they are a good value. Get one.

I use my Verizon phone VX8300! http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=2323
Little sucker works like a champ! Fits right in my cupholder as long as I use the belt clip. My company pays the $10.00/mo for the VZNavigator. I fell in love with NAV with my Odyssey. I like the fact that the road data is always up to date because it all comes from Verizon, nothing saved on the phone. Quite nice GPS phone.
i'm getting the nokia n95. Got a friend that works for nokia in denmark. said its the best phone nokia has ever produced

That does look like a freaking impressive phone. I'm more partial to sony ericsson, but if the N95 ends up as good as it promises to be, AND the GPS portion actually has good maps for this country, I may end up with one....
