Default Best GPS

for under 200 buckaroos. Anyone have personal experience using any of them? Do brands matter also, cuz newegg has a couple sub100 that Ive never heard of.

Thanks peeps.

Garmin Nuvi 660, sometimes its on sale around 200 , or Garmin Nuvi 350
The family has the 660 apparently it freezes up during blue tooth activation, we also have the 350, so far its been better then the 660. I just bought the new release Garmin Nuvi 265T 3.5", its around $240 at Walmart now best buy doesn't even have it yet lol ...now on sale I think best bang for the buck.... hands down

I researched the living shit out of them before buying a Garmin Nuvi 760. They (and Magellan) use better maps than the Tom Tom and were tested as such. I just bought two more Garmin Nuvi 760's (@ $250 each from Amazon) to give away as Christmas gifts. You won't go wrong with Garmin.

My gf has a garmin nuvi and its the shit. It's gotten us to some remote places super easy.



She's gettin me the mini sized on for xmas/bday, can't wait. I defnitely reccomend that one. Searching for restaurants etc is easy, don't even need the name and it usually comes up with it and it's pretty accurate for eta's and distances.
