ok, i have the choice of 3 GPS systems, and I want to best one for a realotor in Florida only. This will hardly ever be out of state or anything. I will pay 300 credits for the best advice, and I need people that KNOW about GPS systems, stats, and all that. Thanks a bunch. Remember, 300 CREDITS!!!! - Garmin StreetPilot c330 GPS Receiver (or the top StreetPilot Model) - Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable/Vehicle GPS - TomTom GO 300 Portable Vehicle Navigation GPS Receiver I have those 3 choices, and price DOESN'T matter here. Thanks. I need detailed explanations on why those are the bezst, why people like them the most, why you picked them. and remember, YOU NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TOPIC in order to answer. Thanks a lot, and if you are wondering, my moms a realator, and I'm buying her a GPS for her B-day. Thanks.
Well, from what I see, I would get the Garmin StreetPilot c330 GPS Receiver. This is because the size isn't that big, it has the voice directions and alot of other good features. Also the Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable/Vehicle GPS doesn't seem that bad compared to the StreetPilot. Not sure about the Tom Tom one, though.
Yea, those 3 are the best 3 reviewed right now, the Nuvi is good because of the size and portability, and the StreetPilot is good for voice directions. But then again, it doesnt zoom fast, you have to go to menu...zoom...and so forth....and with TomTom, you can just zoom right from the map. But yes, the voice directions are very good.

^lol I saw one on tv the other day http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?nest=%...0&search=submit The bottom one Great deal.
My dad has a Garmin, it works great, it can tell speed like he will be in the back seat and be like slow down LOL I think that the tomtom is a "fad" gps unit, Ive never heard of it besides for the commercial (scottscott) My dad has a Garmin eTrex Legend If your mom speeds tehn the StreetPilot c330 looks like the thing for her, you can program speed cameras and school zones where it will warn here when she comes near them "upload safety cameras or school zones, and you will receive a warning if you are traveling too fast. In addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom POIs." She could upload locations of houses to easily get there without stopping and asking for directions. I would go with the StreetPilot c330 -GearGuy2001
my uncle has the Tom-Tom and it works great, its portable so that might be a good choice... its very user friendly too, ive only been in his car a few times but it makes it much easier to find places rather than asking directions at some gas station (yes i have done this on many occations and it never helps) its a very helpful little device (even though the price isnt) so that would be my choice for you from experience. hope i helped
