What GPS unit do you use?

[127.0.0.1]

Garmin has the best path algorithm, which is what really matters.

no other GPS system will get you there faster.

I have road tested Magellan, TomTom, and Garmin and some type I forgot, all simultaneously (4 GPS with identical routes in the same car same time)....and overall on city streets, the Garmin always beats the others by
5 or 10 minutes, sometimes better than 30 minutes. on 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 mile routes.


I mean...the TomTom really sucked. I am staring at the screen and following the route and garmin wold have
gotten me there already....yet I followed tomtom and burned off 20 minutes and half a gallon following it's crappy directions.

I like the way garmin draws maps too.

I have a Nuvi.


If I ever got an in-dash system, it must run Garmin. Kenwood does, I do not know if any others do...

Costco carries Garmin Nuvi. They have 2 models, the cheaper one (above) and a more expensive unit, that does blue tooth too. I like that it is subscription free, meaning once you pay for the device, you're done paying. The more expensive unit comes with lifetime map upgrade.

My brother has a Garmin, too and loves it. Pretty cool unit. Can't remember what model number though. It speaks.

Still looking and undecided for now. I don't know anything about these devices, what to look for, are they all pretty much equivalent to each other ... GPS units are nice to have especially in areas where cell coverage is sketchy.
