I've been really happy with my Garmin C320 unit.

-Color Touchscreen
-SD memory card for map storage (vs internal memory)
-Voice guidance
-Fast route calculation/recalculation

I have the Garmin StreetPilot 2720 and I love it! As a matter of fact, it's sitting here in my carry-on (I'm sitting in Denver's airport).

(Not only does it help me with BPO's, it also came in quite handy in the Rockies!)

I exchanged the C320, due to the fact that I couldn't read the screen wearing my polorized sunglasses. While the 2720 is larger, I can see it under all circumstances.

My husband has a factory GPS in his SUV and I have to admit, I like my Garmin better. It tells me the street to turn down by name, instead of just telling me to turn in such-a-such a distance.

Navigation is a must specially when you are in the RE business.
I bought Clarion N.I.C.E which is kinda like everything in 1. navigation, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, mp3 player, 10gigs of hard space for you music. can also connect a rearview camera and a dvd player. Touch Screen. got it for $800 off ebay a year ago but now you can prob get it for $600.

Garmin IQue 3600 GPS/Palm Pilot combo... they're a little fragile and I think they're discontinued, but I love mine...most days...

Sometimes it makes me mad, but I could no way no how live without it.

I have the StreetPilot 2720. Got it as a Christmas gift last year. The BEST present I've ever received. I use it almost every single day.

The only other GPS system I'd used was an in-dash so I don't have much to compare it to. I love being able to transfer it between vehicles.

The only time it doesn't get me where I need to be is with new construction - but maybe they all have this problem.

I picked up a StreetPilot 2730 last week and this thing is sweet. I went with this one because of it's ability to route multiple stops. So far, no hiccups. The main difference between this and the 2720 others have is XM/NavTraffic capability.

Garmin is far and away the best GPS out there,
I also have a Garmin Nuvi and prior to that I had the Garmin Quest. I also had a Magellan which was awful and took forever to calculate your route. Many times it was inaccurate as well. The Garmin Nuvi is the fastest device I have seen and as soon as you enter the address it already is telling you which direction you need to go.

I agree with real deal. Garmin is hands down the best company for gps. STAY AWAY FROM MAGELLAN. I have owned 3 magellan gps systems and they are all crap. I now own the garmin c330 and it is awesome. It has street by street mapping of the entire united states. No need to upload maps. The best part is you can pick one up from ebay for less than $400.

I honestly think the nuvi series by garmin is a waste of money. Your paying for an mp3 player and a thinner gps system. The c series is thicker, but also cheaper. The nuvi series is nice, but if your not playing mp3's on it then it's a waste of money. I almost bought it, but I saved $200 with the series so I went with that.

Own one and you will see how great they are. No waiting to print, no ink, and it's safer than staring at a piece of paper while driving. Go buy one at circuit city and try it out. If you dont like it, then return it. Just be careful of restocking fees.

Pioneer in dash unit. Great software that has the whole nation loaded in it. Integrated iPod, Blue tooth, the works. Load music too. I am favorable impressed with it but it costs over 2,000.00 installed.

I have a Garmin IQue 3600 - I love it!

My husband bought it when he was lost on vacation. It was only $99.00 on clearance at a Wal-Mart. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was selling for $500 elsewhere!

It is fragile, I've had to replace the charger twice, but it works for what I need it for.
