I want to get a GPS in a month or so, so I've been doing a little bit of research, but I wan't to get people's opinions before I buy one.

My budget is probably around 300.00, but I'm not opposed to spending a bit more if there is a huge difference in quality. Obviously spending less never huts either.

My big question is what makes a 300.00 unit better than the 150.00 unit, and what does everybody recommend.

I'm not too picky on features, I don't need one that plays video, or music, just one that displays maps on a screen. Traffic data would be nice, as I have a chioce between two highways on my commute, and choosing the right one would save me a lot of time.

Any suggestions?
 
my friends and sister have garmins. they make a good, easy to use nav system with big text and clear voice. my sisters was like $150, they make them with bigger screens though and widescreen models that are appealing to some.
 
o have the avic-d3 in dash, but u have 2 use the nav. dvd which makes viewing dvds annoying at times. ummmm try the knightrider gps an tell me how it is guy.......an listen while kit gives you directions
 
I'm going to be in the market for a GPS system that will help me out in yellowstone and grand teton... any thoughts?
 
GARMIN FTW, Sports authority sells rugged waterproof/nuclear fall out proof models.
if you want something simple, the nuvi 200 is a sure choice.
 
I have a Garmin 350 and it works well for my needs. The 200 seems to be a popular model and can constantly be found on sale.
 
Make sure you buy a GPS with free updates.

Most vehicles that include GPS's have a $200 a year disk they buy. Some Garmin's have the Maps DVD they have to buy.
 
my gps is my PSP. yes, sony makes a gps antenna and they will be releasing the gps navigation software sometime this year. it is already out in europe. works great, and play games on the road too.
