best gps?

Forgot to mention - the 700s I bought have a feature that it extremely important to me (I'm a real estate appraiser). If I key in a bunch of addresses, it will sort the route for me most efficiently. I sometimes have to take photos of 10 houses in a neighborhood.

this wld be a great feature! my wife isnt very tech savvy so ease of use is necessity...

I use blackberry, it updates maps automaticly, but has a tendancy to route me on street level not highways.

she has the feature on her phone but it uses entirely too much battery so not very effective...

what about an indash tv with gps????


oh yea check with qvc when i worked there we had them a lot cheaper most of the time

I loved my Garmin 750 until some .... broke into my car and stole it. I replaced it with a 765, which I DO like - but it's kind of flaky sometimes... Some of the Garmins have lifetime free traffic. The traffic is OK, but not perfect. Getting better though. Just don't set it up to avoid traffic. It will dump you onto back streets when there's a 1 minute delay on the freeway!

so Bill, would you go with 750 again...765 or a different model?

I really like my Garmin Nuvi 265T. It's part of the newer series with the faster internal hardware and also has free lifetime traffic data.

Go with the cheapest, newest model with the features you want.

If traffic isn't important, don't pay for it. Mine has bluetooth - but it's a lousy bluetooth unit. I tried it with my phone, and it stinks. If routing isn't that important, don't pay for it.

Go to the Garmin site, it lets you choose features, and then narrows down your selection based upon this. Once you get the model you want, go shopping. My favorite site is www.slickdeals.net. Be patient... Someone will put it on sale for a steal.
