Hey guys,
I'm beginning to look into getting a GPS device for my car. I would prefer one that is portable for my car. Price tag is really a downfall... I think I would like to limit myself to say, max $250 (preferably $200). I've been looking so far at some Garmin's and TomTom's (being the way more expensive) and have been reading reviews on epinions. I'm looking for some input here.
What GPS device to you guys recommend?
Any positive / negative experiences with the one you have?
What is the price range of the device?
The garmin nuvi series seems to be ok with their price range. Some complaints about the device taking users off of main arteries and onto rural routes, which is a bit of a concern for me. Another complaint is that Garmin only provides "1 free map update" and then you have to buy them. How frequently are the maps updated, and if I have to buy how expensive is the update?
Thanks!
