GPS Episode Two
May. 3rd, 2008 12:10 amI've officially (re-)entered the world of
level_head,
arokh,
jonaswins,
mortonfox and
sayh, and anyone else who uses them... good and affordable are now on the same page when it comes to GPS units ^v^ .
Remember how they always seemed to be at least $300 to over $600 ?
Now
arokh showed me that the Navigon unit is only $200 for a good one! And then suddenly, they had a TomTom on sale at Office Depot for just
sayh had a lot of good words about the TomTom over the years, and so at that price, how can ya not get it? They're practically giving them away!!
A couple years ago I got a portable unit you don't need to use in the car, a Garmin iQue M3, for a bit over that $300 price, but for the portability it seemed worth it. Gotta say though, I do like this TomTom a lot better *warble*
It has evvvvvverything on the screen, approaching cities, compass, speed, estimated time of arrival, etc etc etc... nice!
Would be neat to show altitude, but heh... guess we can't have it all :D
