I am considering purchasing a GPS or some type of navigation system. Any suggestions?

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

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.

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 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.
