It cant be, its so cheap...
Yes i know its in pounds.

it's an ace system, and a really good price for it as well. Vanquished, it's cheaper than the rest of the range cus it dont have the **** like europian maps, harddrvies, etc that other models have. it only has what i need. is ~$400.

Thats good.
I don't like the link though.
Has too much flashy stuff.
And no pic of the device on the first page, which always makes me iffy about a product.

heny whats so great about it, i was looking at it, but the visuals seem kinda crap, like not very smooth.

I've used the Tomtom on daily basis for a couple of months while I was in england. Overall its a good device, I honestly don't remember it crashing or getting stuck. The only thing it did do from time to time is point me to dead-ends, but I guess its a map update flaw and not a specific device flaw.

I even named it Becca

i am trying to figure out which of these to buy, the only reason i'd go with the tomtom is because of the txt-to-speech function, but overall the n60i looks so much better.

which would you choose.

Hmmmm... fold up map $2.50

Heh heh, actually most mobile phones have GPS capabilities, so why spend that amount of money. My phone has it and it will give me voiced directions as well. I have yet to use it but all it costs is air time.

the phones with gps use a data download that you're charged for, in addition to your data plan, the display is going to be small, the voice is going to leave something to be desired

gps on the other hand is free, fast sophisticated, pleasant

also, the logistics using triangualation from cell antenae is not as accurate, sophisticated or fast as gps triangulation which uses dedicated satalites

precisely perris, the units i am interested in have sirfIII, gprs cant compete with that.

visuals are spot on , and very accurate. i have found it to be very smooth and user friendly. Tom Tom are rated #1 for a reason

I could never imagin using a phone to do gps...
All i would expect it to be is aweful slow and innacurate.

woo... they've come out with TomTom ONE XL. 4.3" screen

 

[X-Istence]

I have a GPS mouse (one of those things you plug in, and use the software on a laptop). Mine uses a SiRF II chipset and tracks up to 12 sattelites at once. I have found it to be very accurate and easy to use, enjoying it very much.

I use it for other things besides just navigation as well, I use it for Wardriving.
