+1 ! same for the old Garmin PNDs

For the price you're talking about you could afford one of the new android based tablets like the dell streak with 5" display and turn by turn nav

If you happen to be a pilot or for any reason you need XM graphical weather data, I'd recommend the AV8OR

Garmin for the win

Just got back from vacation in the UK, had a Magellan from Hertz and it just plain sucked.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 855. Sub $150 on Amazon these days. It's awesome has never failed to get me where I needed to go and does a fast job of recalculating the route if for some reason I don't want to go down the road it wants to. Very easy and intuitive to use/load new destinations or set points of interest along the route. Good Luck!!!

I appreciate all the great responses I got here and I had just about decided on a Garmin unit when I got an email from Escort advertising their new Passport IQ which is an integrated radar/laser detector and GPS unit. The GPS uses the same technology as Garmin (NAVTEQ). The unit is certainly pricey but this might fit the bill nicely as I have two vehicles and one detector at the moment (a Passport 9500ix).

I will be "Z-less" starting tomorrow (10/29) and my 2011 Nismo should be here in December so I've got some time before I'll need to buy anything...so...if anyone has any thoughts or if anyone buys one of these units before I will need to make a final decision, please let me know what you think!


Thanks!
