str86diesel Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I am in need of a portable GPS...anyone into know what's good and what's bad? I'd like to have something thin, easy to use and that has voice guidance. I was looking at the Magellan and TomTom units online, but I can't seem to find any pictures that show their thickness (the thinner the better) Kev Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
Bossmaan Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Go with the Garmin Nuvi 350..tis a good unit..slim, has a text-to-speech functionallity and buncha other shit...TomTom units are bulky as hell, aside from the the TomTom One ofcourse. 350 doesnt have the bluetooth capibility, but if that is really important to you, then you can get the Nuvi 360 then..

Guest MegaloManiac Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 I've seen the Tom Toms, they are nice. The thickness in them are about 3". i believe the Magelins are thinner but they are wider. I have a gps program on my computer i use with a USB gps reciever Quote

str86diesel Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 I was actually going to check out the TOMTOM One XL after work. It seems pretty sweet online, with the the 4" screen and seems pretty thin. I have never owned one, so I am not sure really what to look for. Kevin Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD

Chris Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 I've got an older model Magellen we use to go geo-caching. It sucks, & EATS batteries from new to dead in around 3hours, & loses contact with it's position ALL the time along with being inacurate. Don't know how good the newer models are however...
