I've been looking at the Alpine Blackbird - just started my search though. Some good ideas on which ones to check out in here.

It's pretty cool on the plane - you can see what cities you're over, your speed and altitude, how far you've gone & how far to go (as long as you have POI's entered previously) and other assorted neat data
. The only disappointment is they don't let you turn it on below 10,000 feet so you don't get to see the speed increase on takeoff or decrease on landing. THAT would be darn cool (IMO).

Microsoft Streets and Trips w/ GPS locator. I always have the laptop with me when traveling anyway. Large and easy to see screen and the built-in database of motels and restaurants located along your route is invaluable. If you're in the mood for Appleby's or Arby's you can find out quickly just how far up the road the next one is. Besides , I bought it new for $80 at CompUSA. For the money, it's amazing.

Anybody had any experience with this one?

I just picked one up last week through Sams Club for $789. I went with this high-end model because I wanted as many features as possible. I didn't want to find myself wishing for more later on...

I plugged it into the lighter, set it on the dash, and my wife told me where to go.
I do a ton of trips on it's not uncommon for me to drive 1,000-2,000 miles in a week. A gps is one of the best things I've ever bought.

I've had this unit for 3 months now and like it just fine. Final cost $400. Touch screen operated,self contained (no CD ROM needed) Great voice comands,updatable in the future through the internet. And it's Sony. I trust Sony's products.

Has anyone else who uses teleatlas maps heard that their map insight is out of the beta phase? I got an email from them saying that the user feedback is getting implemented, sounds like its getting up to speed - i don't think there's a way to get map improvements any better than that.
