Need Advice
I'm going back to patrol duties after 15yrs in the schools. Needless to say my fair city has grown by leaps and bounds since then and I don't where the hell I'm going. I need a portable voice type GPS that I can use in my squad car and transfer to the Vette. Which ones do youse guys recommend? Who gives the best prices? Thanx in advance.

I have a Garmin C340 on sale at Circuit City for far less than $300. Voice directions and none of the other stuff that I would not use like an MP3 player a picture viewer and Europe maps. I like it. If you can find it cheaper Circuit City will reimburse the difference.

Garmin (330) Street Pilot, paid $300. , I like my sons Tom Tom (base model) better. I have had 2 cars with factory Nav systems which cost $1600.-$2000. and these cheaper models do the job.

Can move between cars and even use if your walking around town too.
Garmin has excellent stuff, mines the 350. Let's be careful out there.

The TomTom ONE is a really great unit for its price - I just recently upgraded to the ONE XL though which is a little more expensive but the widescreen is pretty sweet. The TomToms have been a good brand fro me all around.

I'd recommend a Garmin. Well made units that perform very well.
