Well, if you do driving trips to unfamiliar territory, the GPS is indispensable.
But the spoiler would definitely look .

So is it or don't get lost.

FWIW, my vote is GPS.......for now.

FYI, did you see another post where costco.com has the 650 back in stock? Good luck.

Get the Garmin Nuvi 650 - $300 from Costco. You may be able to pick up an inexpensive spoiler from a forum member as they are often offered in parts for sale.

I say Nav. I love my Garmin. I use it all the time. Works great for finding alternate routes. Going to new places even finding better routes to places I have been to a lot of times. I think my portable GPS is one of the best things I have bought when it comes to electronics.
