Im thinking about buying a GPS, i never had one before. Just wandering if any of you have them and what is a good 1 to buy. I probally will only use it once in awhile so i dont want to spend to much. Thanks for your opinions.
I have a garmin too, a simple one with voice, satisfied.

I had Tom Tom on my previous phone (ipaq) it was alright..but I bought a Samgsung Jack back before Christmas hacked it to unlock the internal gps. it has built in gps by magelin or something but rogers wants you to "pay" to use it. So with a quick file hack I now use Garmin FOR FREE! and have never looked back...works great
I got a 3.5inch screen TomTom at Best Buy for 99$ Less than a week ago.
If you go there it might still be on sale, or check the flyer...that's where I saw it

The biggest thing that can't be over looked is the Text to Speech feature. You want a GPS that can talk to you (and says the street names) even when you're not looking at it.
I am a GARMIN user have a IQM5 with OUTLOOK CONTACTS, which is great BUT: KEEP IT UPDATED so you dont miss a flight cause the freakin airport has moved...
THE SECRET: KEEP UPDATING ON THE WEB and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MAP SECTIONS you need before a trip....A 2 to 4 GB card is best, with all of CANADA on IT !!!
The Blackberry 3G is also great and has contacts, but the difference is that a BLACKBERRY has a live map, and GOOGLE MAPS ON THE WEB at your fingertips, as the
Garmin has your contacts and once you haev programmed them well, you simply go to contact, and then ROUTE TO IT....and BINGO...
The NUVI IS GREAT TOO....
