| Posted by GPS newbie GPS Dilemma - which one to buy? I'm currently in the market for a GPS. I want something basic, ideally under $250. I'd like spoken street names and up to date maps but I don't think there's anything else I require. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! |
| Posted by anthony_valente Garmin vs Tomtom There's a couple of units that have spoken street name features. Two are: * Garmin nuvi 350 Portable GPS * TomTom ONE XL-S I think the Garmin is the cheaper of the two. It depends on what other features you are looking for in the unit.

| Posted by slhannah Garmin 1300 POI database I just got a Garmin 1300. It appears t be good, although I was completely surprised that it contain no POI datatbase! |
| Posted by melitta.sterling Re Tom Tom I have a relatively new Tom Tom (18 months old), about a year ago it started telling me to drive into rivers, it seems to love water, and also has been telling me there are train stations... where there are clearly no train stations, for example out in the middle of NSW, not a house, or building of any kind in sight, we are passing an imaginary train line, complete with stations. Funny to the point, where we bought a new GPS, a Garmin. The Garmin has been problematic, as if one wants custom POIs, then you basically need a degree in computer science. Upside the screen is good. Best of luck, Melitta |
| Posted by johmazz2006 what to buy Have had the Garmin 765T for 2 years now, and has operated flawlessly. Very good and easy to use. First GPS was a Garmin StreetPilot, great unit but memory wat too small and could not be upgraded. Second was a Navman, wouldn't even work as a boat anchor, boat still drifted. Back to Garmin with the 765t :lol: |
