What is the best GPS to own?
I am willing to pay a little extra for a GPS if the quality matches the price. Yesterday my purse got pick-pocketed for my Garmin nuvi 250. That unit worked great!
I have read the reviews on the Garmin nuvi 770 and saw that there were more issues than I would expect since it is a higher end unit. I want all the features of the 250 (does not have to be a Garmin) with real time traffic updates. The 250 had other features such as:
preloaded maps
points of interest
JPEG picture viewer
world travel clock with time zones
currency converter
measurement converter
calculator
Garmin Lock
configurable vehicle icons
Optional plug-in SD cards
So if anyone has any personal experiences or advice on the best automobile GPS unit to own then please share!
it has almost 2000 reviews and almost a perfect score 4.5 of out 5 stars priced at $254, garmin nuvi 350 best bang for your buck. it doesnt have a ton of features but definitely enough.

only con is that you want live traffic updates which this unit can do if you buy the receiver for an additional $100. the 1st garmin’s to have the receiver built in are the nuvi 660(starting at $350). so i guess if that is a must have then go with the 660 because if you buy the receiver for the 350 its going to cost about the same amount but with the 660 you’ll also have bluetooth, a fm transmitter, and a 4.3 inch screen. also dont forget for all gps units traffic updates is a paid monthly service
now if you want to go ALL out id go with the garmin nuvi 850 which has
-4.3 inch screen
-voice recognition yup thats right you dont have to type in points anymore(unless you want to) you can just speak to it and it will find the route
-bluetooth for hands free calling
-fm transmitter so you can hear everything from your garmin through your car’s stereo system
-msn direct receiver. which gives you real time traffic reports, weather, local gas prices, movie times
